What the Excellence Knight Electric 42 kWh AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Excellence Knight Electric 42 kWh AT comes to ₹21,92,105 on the road in Aizawl and ₹24,92,405 in Guwahati.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹3,00,300 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 8 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam 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
At ₹21.45L ex-showroom this is the sixth of 10 Creta Electric variants by price, ₹15,000 above the Excellence Electric 42 kWh AT. It is also the cheapest of the 2 ways into Excellence Knight: the same features as the Excellence Knight Electric 51.4 kWh AT for ₹2.37L less. Stepping up to Excellence Lounge Edition from here starts at ₹2.89L more and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the Excellence Knight cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person. Worth knowing that the Excellence Lounge Edition is not sold with the Electric with the single-speed automatic, so the move changes the powertrain too.

It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.

- Is the Excellence Knight the right Creta Electric 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 Hyundai Creta Electric which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
