Hi or VIP Executive Lounge, and what each costs
Where you start
Hi
₹1.20Cr ex-showroom Delhi
Nobody's base car: massage captain seats with ottomans, 15 JBL speakers and the full safety suite. You give up the sunroof and rear screen.
The step up
VIP Executive Lounge
₹1.30Cr ex-showroom Delhi
The chairman's spec: dual sunroof, head-up display, a 14in rear screen and the Executive Lounge chairs, for about Rs 10L more.
Our take
Keeps ₹9.99L; panoramic sunroof is not worth that here
What Hi to VIP Executive Lounge costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹10,68,930 to ₹12,28,770 on the road, against the ₹9,99,000 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 ₹9,99,000 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 ₹1,59,840 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the 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 ₹1,59,840, and both be right.
