What the Essence (5-seater) Electric AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Essence (5-seater) Electric AT comes to ₹23,48,655 on the road in Aizawl and ₹26,70,655 in Guwahati.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹3,22,000 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 8 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam 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.
