What the V Petrol MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the V Petrol MT comes to ₹14,19,380 on the road in Itanagar and ₹16,34,784 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,15,404 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka 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
At ₹13.51L ex-showroom this is the second of 8 City variants by price, ₹1.51L above the SV Petrol MT. It is also the cheaper of the two ways into V: the same features as the V Petrol AT for ₹1.00L less. Stepping up to ZX from here starts at ₹1.96L more and buys blind spot monitor and wheel size (16" against 15") among 11 additions.

Honda City V: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Honda City V Petrol MT?
- ₹13.51L, ex-showroom. That makes it 2nd of 8 by price, ₹1.51L above the SV Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Honda City V Petrol MT?
- Expect ₹14,19,380 in Itanagar and ₹16,34,784 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,15,404 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Honda City V Petrol MT have?
- The Petrol, 121 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 17.8 km/l.
- What mileage does the Honda City V Petrol MT really return?
- 2 independent publishers have measured it at around 14.5 to 15 km/l. The maker's figure is 17.8 km/l, so plan your running costs on the measured range rather than on that.
- What features does the Honda City V Petrol MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (core suite)), Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Connected car tech, Cruise control, Wheel type (Alloy) and Airbags (6).
- What does the Honda City V Petrol MT miss out on?
- The ZX above it adds blind spot monitor, wheel size (16" against 15"), touchscreen (10.1" against 8"), speakers (8 against 4) and 7 more, for ₹1.96L more.
- Is the V the right City to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Honda City which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
