₹39,88,738 to ₹58,10,778 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 Lounge Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹39,88,738 in Ahmedabad and ₹45,80,778 in Kochi, a difference of ₹5,92,040 on the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price it in, Gujarat, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. 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.

+ Owners reporting to Autocar India single out ride comfort, strong performance and a beautifully finished cabin+ Five stars at Euro NCAP under the tougher 2023 protocol, with 89 percent for adult occupant protection+ Skoda cut prices after the September 2025 GST revision, so it costs meaningfully less than it did at launch− Thirsty in town: owners reporting to Autocar India put city economy at no more than about 7 kmpl− Skoda recalled 221 cars built between 10 March and 8 December 2025 over compromised side airbag protection for front occupants, which is worth checking against any used example's VIN− A slow seller here at about 150 cars a month in its first year, which is fair to weigh if you care how many workshops will have seen one

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.
