Highline Plus or GT Line, and what each costs
Where you start
Highline Plus
From ₹13.91L to ₹15.00L ex-showroom Delhi
The comfort step: Climatronic auto AC at last, plus the electric sunroof, 8in digital cockpit, keyless entry, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and auto-dimming mirror, all for about Rs 40,000 over Highline.
The step up
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
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What Highline Plus to GT Line costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹45,760 to ₹52,743 on the road, against the ₹44,000 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 ₹44,000 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 ₹6,983 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 ₹6,983, and both be right.

What the GT Line adds
