₹10,22,710 to ₹18,49,351 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 Sprint Petrol MT comes to ₹10,22,710 in Itanagar and ₹11,46,477 in Bengaluru, a difference of ₹1,23,767 on the identical car. 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.

What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ A cabin reviewers call genuinely premium for the money, with soft touch materials and switchgear that feels expensive+ Level 2 ADAS, a 360 degree camera and a panoramic sunroof, generously spread through the range+ Quiet and calm to drive, at idle and at a cruise− Never crash tested in India-spec by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP, so the five star rating widely printed against it belongs to a different market's car− Three across the back seat is a squeeze, and rear space only really works for two− Owners report paint chipping early and headlight units going pale

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.
