Which Sorento to buy
HTK to HTK 6-seat buys you as much for your money as any paid step up this ladder. Another step asks exactly the same per rupee, so which of them you take is about which trim you want to be on. In Varanasi that step costs ₹22,500 on the road, rather than the ₹20,000 the showroom prices suggest.

The fine print
- Road tax (11.5%)
- Derived 2026-08-07 from CarWale's published on-road breakdown for Lucknow, 10 cars from Rs 3.70L to Rs 59.65L. Above Rs 10 lakh: 6 observations, raw 11.42% to 11.67%, fitted slope 11.41% with Rs 3,362 fixed. Rs 4L to 10L: two observations, raw 9.69% and 9.92%, 9.27% net of that fixed component. Below Rs 4L: one observation at Rs 3.70L, 7.09% net; the boundary was moved down from Rs 6L after three cheap cars in Lucknow came out 7 to 8 points wide of the pack. NOT read from any Uttar Pradesh notification; the department's site refuses connections from outside India
- Registration fee (central)
- CMVR Rule 81, as amended by GSR 1183(E) dated 29-12-2016
- TCS (1%, adjustable against your income tax)
- Income-tax Act 1961 s.206C(1F) from 1 June 2016, and from 1 April 2026 s.394(1) of the Income-tax Act 2025 at the same rate and threshold (renumbering reported, not read from the Act); creditable against the buyer's income tax
- Third-party insurance (3 years, incl. 18% GST)

- The Rs 15 lakh owner-driver cover is mandatory; this prescribed rate is what most insurers charge for the annual form.
- FASTag
- Tag cost only. Issuers add a deposit and minimum balance; dealer bundles commonly total Rs 500-600.
- Comprehensive own-damage cover
- Not in this total. Lenders require it and most buyers take it, but it has been market-priced since 2007 and varies widely with insurer, cover value and no-claim bonus, so an honest single figure does not exist. Budget for it from real quotes on top of this total.
- Uttar Pradesh's rates here are derived from published on-road prices rather than read from the state's own schedule, so treat them as indicative and confirm with your dealer.
