E or S, and what each costs
Where you start
E
The way in at Rs 6.99 lakh: 6 airbags, ESC and hill hold, but a manual AC, no touchscreen and no speakers. Fine if price is everything; most buyers will want S.
- E Petrol MT₹6.99Lex-showroom Delhi
The step up
S
The sensible start: a 7in touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, four speakers, TPMS and rear AC vents. The AC stays manual, and this is the cheaper door to CNG, now with an AMT too.
- S Petrol MT₹7.71Lex-showroom Delhi
- S Petrol AT₹8.31Lex-showroom Delhi
- S CNG MT₹8.76Lex-showroom Delhi
- S CNG AT₹9.31Lex-showroom Delhi
Our take
₹72,000 more buys tyre pressure monitor and 7" touchscreen
What E to S costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹74,160 to ₹92,460 on the road, against the ₹72,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹72,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹18,300 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Jharkhand comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹18,300, and both be right.
