What the HTE Turbo Petrol MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTE Turbo Petrol MT comes to ₹8,76,740 on the road in Itanagar and ₹9,83,327 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,06,587 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
Going all the way to the top HTX (O) would buy you all-wheel disc brakes, rear parking camera and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), and 27 more.
₹8.42L ex-showroom makes this the cheapest Syros there is, ₹80,000 below the next one up. HTE is sold this one way, as the Turbo Petrol 6-speed manual. Stepping up to HTE (O) from here starts at ₹80,000 more and buys wheel size (16" against 15") and wheel type (Alloy against Steel) among 6 additions.
More about the HTE trim
Safety-complete base: 6 airbags, ESC, TPMS and a 10.25in screen, but steel wheels and no camera.
