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.

This one is sold in a single variant, so that range is geography and nothing else: the same car, priced in each of the 17 states whose rates we hold.

Of the 17 states we can price it in, 7 of them are level at the lowest and Assam comes out highest. That is ₹1,31,46,565 against ₹1,49,65,305, a difference of ₹18,18,740 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.

+ Five stars from Euro NCAP on the same pre-facelift car India sells, with 88 percent for child occupant protection+ Middle-row comfort reviewers rate above the BMW iX and Mercedes EQE SUV, which is the row a six-seat family car is bought for+ Genuine presence: it is longer and taller than the German rivals it is priced against, and reviewers say it looks it− 76 percent for vulnerable road user protection, fair rather than good for something this heavy in city traffic− Cabin materials fall short of the German cars it is priced with: reviewers repeatedly note hard plastics at Rs 1.3 crore− The separate climate screen sits out of the driver's line of sight, and the touchscreen shortcut keys take real effort to press

4 more things owners and testers say

+ 350 kW DC charging takes it from 10 to 80 percent in about 24 minutes, so a long drive needs one short stop rather than a long one+ Space, kit and calm are the consistent themes: reviewers describe it as luxurious and hushed rather than sporting, which suits the job− One trim, one powertrain, one seating layout, so there is nothing to configure and nothing to save− It is a CBU import, which is most of why it costs what it costs

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.
