The full story
Moving up costs you ₹7.18L ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹2.25Cr for the GR-S against ₹2.18Cr for the ZX.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the GR-S opens up no engine the ZX cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
It is not all one way: the GR-S gives up wheel size (20" against 18").

Save your money: the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX does everything the pricier one does.
What ZX to GR-S costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹7,25,180 to ₹8,83,140 on the road, against the ₹7,18,000 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 ₹7,18,000 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 ₹1,57,960 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Maharashtra comes out lowest, and Kerala 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 ₹1,57,960, and both be right.
