₹12,22,647 to ₹14,90,147 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.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the Live Electric AT comes to ₹12,22,647 in Aizawl and ₹13,48,542 in Patna, a difference of ₹1,25,895 on the identical car. Of the 21 states we can price it in, 13 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out highest. 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 eC3X most buyers should see: 6 airbags, ISOFIX, the 10.25in screen, LED projector headlamps, alloys, wireless charger and auto-dimming mirror. Still no ESP, which no eC3X offers.

What owners and testers say

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

+ Ride comfort is the standout: it smooths over broken city roads better than anything else at the money+ Real-world range lands close to what the car itself predicts, so trip planning is straightforward+ Owners two years and 30,000 km in report fuss-free running, quiet cabin and no software trouble− No stability control on any variant, at any price, which is what Global NCAP singled out and is still true− Zero stars for adults and one for children when Global NCAP crashed the pre-facelift eC3, with weak and poor chest protection in the frontal test− About 220 km of real range makes it a city car, and it is well short of the certified claim

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.
