What the Essential EV 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 Essential EV Electric AT comes to ₹56,46,305 on the road in Aizawl and ₹64,25,405 in Guwahati.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹7,79,100 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 7 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.

The full story
Going all the way to the top SE All4 would buy you level 1 ADAS, 360° camera and front parking sensors, and 7 more.
₹55.65L ex-showroom makes this the cheapest Countryman Electric there is, ₹2.95L below the next one up. Essential EV is sold this one way, as the Electric single-speed automatic. Stepping up to Classic Pack EV from here starts at ₹2.95L more and buys leatherette upholstery.
