GT Line or Topline, and what each costs
Where you start
GT Line
From ₹14.35L to ₹15.25L ex-showroom Delhi
Highline Plus in the Sport line's black GT dress: black 16in alloys, darkened lamps, red ambient lighting, alu pedals and GT badges. It costs Rs 44,000 more on the manual and Rs 25,000 more on the automatic, and adds nothing to the spec sheet, so this is a choice about looks.
- GT Line Turbo Petrol MT₹14.35L
- GT Line Turbo Petrol AT₹15.25L
The step up
Topline
From ₹15.16L to ₹16.35L ex-showroom Delhi
The comfort flagship of the 1.0: segment-first ventilated electric front seats, leatherette, subwoofer-backed audio and the connected suite with SOS calling as standard.
- Topline Turbo Petrol MT₹15.16L
- Topline Turbo Petrol AT₹16.35L
Our take
₹81,000 more buys ventilated front seats and connected car tech
What GT Line to Topline costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹86,670 to ₹1,24,280 on the road, against the ₹81,000 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 ₹81,000 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 ₹37,610 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 ₹37,610, and both be right.
