What the Performance Edition Plug-in Hybrid AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Performance Edition Plug-in Hybrid AT comes to ₹1,55,43,631 on the road in Aizawl and ₹1,78,63,831 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹23,20,200 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out 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.

Going all the way to the top Racing Edition would buy you head-up display.
₹1.45Cr ex-showroom Delhi makes this the cheapest AMG E 53 there is, ₹3.00L below the next one up. Performance Edition is sold this one way, as the Plug-in Hybrid 9-speed torque-converter auto.
