What the S(O) Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the S(O) Diesel AT comes to ₹18,38,190 on the road in Itanagar and ₹20,97,482 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,59,292 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 ₹17.37L ex-showroom this is the 17th of 27 Creta variants by price, ₹9,000 above the King Petrol MT. The same S(O) features start at ₹3.16L less as the S(O) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest S(O) Knight Edition actually costs ₹2.98L less than this variant and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the S(O) cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person. Worth knowing that the S(O) Knight Edition is not sold with the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Hyundai Creta S(O): the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel AT?
- ₹17.37L, ex-showroom. That makes it 17th of 27 by price, ₹9,000 above the King Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹18,38,190 in Itanagar and ₹20,97,482 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,59,292 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 Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 116 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. The maker's figure for it is 19.1 km/l.
- What features does the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Headlamps (LED projector), Drive modes, Terrain modes, Cruise control and Dual-zone climate control.
- Is the S(O) the right Creta 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 which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
