What the Evolution E-Tech 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 Evolution E-Tech Hybrid AT comes to ₹18,12,581 on the road in Itanagar and ₹20,66,222 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,53,641 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 ₹16.99L ex-showroom this is the 11th of 14 Duster variants by price, level with the Iconic Turbo Petrol MT. Evolution E-Tech is sold this one way, as the Hybrid multi-mode hybrid automatic. Stepping up to Techno E-Tech from here starts at ₹2.00L more and buys headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and connected car tech among 4 additions.
More about the Evolution E-Tech trim
The cheapest way into the strong hybrid, and the reason to pick it is the running cost: Renault claims 29 kmpl and that most city driving happens on electric power. Over the petrol Evolution you get 18in wheels and dual-zone auto AC; the sunroof and LED headlamps wait for Techno.
