GT Plus or GT Plus Sport, and what each costs
Where you start

₹18.85L ex-showroom Delhi

The step up
GT Plus Sport
₹19.20L ex-showroom Delhi
The GT Plus in black, for Rs 35,000 more: black-over-chrome styling, red GT branding, black leatherette and a black roof on some colours. The equipment is the GT Plus's; the premium is the look.
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What GT Plus to GT Plus Sport costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹36,750 to ₹41,954 on the road, against the ₹35,000 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 ₹35,000 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 ₹5,204 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 ₹5,204, and both be right.
