GT Line or Topline, and what each costs
Where you start
GT Line
From ₹14.60L to ₹15.75L ex-showroom Delhi
The Sport line's entry: Highline Plus equipment in black GT dress with 17in black alloys as the one hardware change. Laser red ambient lighting and alu pedals set the tone; you pay about Rs 30,000 over Highline Plus for the look and the wheels.
The step up
Topline
From ₹16.00L to ₹17.18L ex-showroom Delhi
The 1.0's flagship: panoramic sunroof, ventilated electric front seats, 10.25in cockpit, subwoofer audio, leatherette and the connected suite with SOS calling. Also the first trim with cruise control on the manual.
Our take
₹1.40L more buys sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and ventilated front seats
What GT Line to Topline costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,49,800 to ₹1,94,400 on the road, against the ₹1,40,000 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 ₹1,40,000 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 ₹44,600 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat 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 ₹44,600, and both be right.
