₹40,24,048 to ₹46,21,368 on the road

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

This one is sold in a single variant, so that range is geography and nothing else: the same car, priced in each of the 25 states whose rates we hold.

Of the 25 states we can price it in, Gujarat, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest and Kerala comes out highest. That is ₹40,24,048 against ₹46,21,368, a difference of ₹5,97,320 on the identical car. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

The only C5 Aircross you can buy, and it wants for little: panoramic sunroof, 12.3in cluster, dual-zone climate, blind spot monitor, all-disc brakes and the hydraulic-cushion ride the car is famous for. What it lacks against similar money is any ADAS suite, ventilated seats and a wireless charger.

What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ The ride is the whole reason to buy this car. Autocar India's testers keep returning to the hydraulic cushion suspension, which flattens broken roads in a way nothing else near the money manages+ Genuinely quiet inside, thanks to double-laminated front windows, an acoustic windscreen and thick insulation under the bonnet, per Autocar India's long-term reports+ The 2.0 diesel and eight speed automatic are smooth and never short of shove, and Autocar India's long-termer found it made long road trips effortless− No programme has crash tested the India-spec car. The four star Euro NCAP result is a 2019 European test of this generation, and five stars needed an optional safety pack− Price is the hardest part of the case. Autocar India's own framing is that against rivals like the Compass and Tucson the C5 sits well out of the ballpark, and buyers at this money can find showier kit and more technology elsewhere− Real economy of about 10 kpl in town against a claimed 17.5, per Autocar India's test

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
