What the Nova Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Nova Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹55,93,738 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹64,25,778 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹8,32,040 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
Going all the way to the top Zenith would buy you headlamps (Bi-LED + booster lamp against LED projector), Sonos premium sound system and head-up display, and 1 more.
₹51.99L ex-showroom makes this the cheapest Q3 there is, ₹4.00L below the next one up. Nova is sold this one way, as the Turbo Petrol 7-speed dual-clutch auto (dca).

More about the Nova trim
Where the new Q3 starts, and it is far from bare: the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol and quattro all-wheel drive as the Zenith, nine airbags, adaptive cruise with emergency braking, a 12.8in touchscreen, three-zone climate, a panoramic sunroof and wireless charging. You go without the Zenith's matrix headlights, head-up display and Sonos sound.
