The full story
Moving up costs you ₹30,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹19.47L for the GT Plus Sport against ₹19.17L for the GT Plus Chrome.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the GT Plus Sport opens up no engine the GT Plus Chrome cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
GT Plus Chrome or GT Plus Sport, and what each costs
Where you start
GT Plus Chrome
₹19.17L ex-showroom Delhi
The 150 PS flagship: Topline's full kit on the 1.5 TSI DSG, with disc brakes on all four wheels and GT details in chrome. The GT Plus Sport sells the same kit in black trim for Rs 30,000 more.
The step up
GT Plus Sport
₹19.47L ex-showroom Delhi
The GT Plus Chrome in black, for Rs 30,000 more: black leatherette in place of dual-tone, a red steering accent, black exterior details and black 17in wheels of the same size. Every feature on the spec sheet is the Chrome's; you are paying for the look.
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What GT Plus Chrome to GT Plus Sport costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹31,500 to ₹35,961 on the road, against the ₹30,000 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 ₹30,000 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 ₹4,461 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka 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 ₹4,461, and both be right.
