₹22,37,555 to ₹35,33,155 on the road

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.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the Pack One Electric AT comes to ₹22,37,555 in Aizawl and ₹25,44,155 in Guwahati, a difference of ₹3,06,600 on the identical car. Of the 21 states we can price it in, 13 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam comes out highest. 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.

Not sure which XEV 9e to buy?

₹21.90L₹30.50L

Our pick: Pack Twobest value for money

The verdict in words

There are 6 ways to buy a XEV 9e, across 5 trims, from ₹21.90L to ₹30.50L ex-showroom Delhi.

Rupee for rupee the ladder pays best at Pack Two: ₹3.00L more than Pack One, and of the steps you pay extra for and we can price like for like, none hands back more kit per rupee on the price list. Pack Three Select to Cineluxe Edition looks cheaper per feature than that, and is left out of the comparison because it changes the engine or the gearbox too: its price is not the price of its kit.

Above that, the only upgrade left we can price on its kit alone is Pack Three Select, at ₹3.00L over Pack Two. Take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

One more upgrade above the best-value step is left out of that ranking, because it changes the engine or the gearbox too and its price is not the price of its kit.

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.
