₹12,42,580 to ₹19,76,413 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 SV Petrol MT comes to ₹12,42,580 in Itanagar and ₹14,31,005 in Bengaluru, a difference of ₹1,88,425 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.

What owners and testers say

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

+ Owners report it as close to trouble free, with the engine and gearbox giving no bother over tens of thousands of kilometres+ The India-built car scored five stars at Japan NCAP, where it is sold as the WR-V, though that is a Japanese-specification car and not a rating for the one you would buy here+ The manual returns about 18 km/l on the highway, comfortably ahead of its own certified figure− No Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP result exists, so there is no crash rating for the Indian-specification car− Road and tyre noise is the complaint that comes up most, and the CVT adds to it as speed builds− The CVT is certified higher than the manual but returns markedly less in the real world, around 11 km/l overall

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.
