What the AX5 Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the AX5 Diesel MT comes to ₹19,51,258 on the road in Itanagar and ₹22,24,230 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,72,972 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 ₹18.29L ex-showroom this is the eighth of 27 XUV 7XO variants by price, level with the AX3 Diesel AT. The same AX5 features start at ₹50,000 less as the AX5 Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Stepping up to AX7 from here starts at ₹84,000 more and buys tyre pressure monitor and 360° camera among 12 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the AX7 starts at ₹19.60L.
