What the LXT Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the LXT Diesel AT comes to ₹19,20,808 on the road in Itanagar and ₹21,89,468 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,68,660 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 ₹18.00L ex-showroom Delhi this is the dearest of the Thar's 7 variants, ₹77,000 over the LXT Turbo Petrol AWD AT beneath it. The same LXT kit starts at ₹5.01L less as the LXT Diesel RWD MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. There is no trim above LXT: money spent past this point buys powertrain, not equipment.
More about the LXT trim
The Thar most people mean: 10.25in touchscreen, reverse camera, cruise and 18in alloys, with every engine and the 4WD hardware on offer. Hard top only since the convertible was dropped in April 2025.
