What the S(O) Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the S(O) Diesel MT comes to ₹16,78,590 on the road in Itanagar and ₹19,15,280 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,36,690 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 ₹15.85L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 11th of 21 Creta variants by price, ₹19,000 above the S(O) Petrol AT. The same S(O) kit starts at ₹1.64L less as the S(O) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest SX actually costs ₹81,000 less than this variant and buys SOS call and sequential indicators among 7 additions, though it gives up electronic parking brake + auto hold. Worth knowing that the SX is not sold with the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, 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 MT?
- ₹15.85L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 11th of 21 by price, ₹19,000 above the S(O) Petrol AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹16,78,590 in Itanagar and ₹19,15,280 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,36,690 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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 MT have?
- The Diesel, 116 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 21.8 km/l.
- What features does the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Headlamps (LED projector), Drive modes, Terrain modes, Cruise control and Auto climate (single zone).
- What does the Hyundai Creta S(O) Diesel MT miss out on?
- The SX above it adds SOS call, sequential indicators, puddle lamps, touchscreen (10.25" against 8") and 3 more, for ₹81,000 less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the SX is not sold with this one. It would also cost you electronic parking brake + auto hold and drive modes, so it is not purely a step up.
- 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
