₹12,73,147 to ₹15,44,782 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 XE Electric AT comes to ₹12,73,147 in Aizawl and ₹14,04,292 in Patna, a difference of ₹1,31,145 on the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price it in, 10 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar 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.

+ Four stars for both adults and children from Global NCAP, on the two airbag specification actually sold+ Real world range holds up at roughly 190 to 200 km whether you are in town or on the highway, which makes it easy to plan around+ Sorted road manners: the low centre of gravity and firmer suspension make it a genuinely tidy city car− Global NCAP judged the bodyshell and footwell unstable, and rated driver protection only adequate− The crash result predates the current protocol and there is no Bharat NCAP rating to replace it− Claimed range of 315 km overstates what the car does by a wide margin

5 more things owners and testers say

+ Silent, gearless and light to drive, which is the whole point in traffic+ One owner reports 10,000 km in eight months without a significant fault− No selectable regeneration modes and no cruise control, both of which owners miss− Two airbags across the range in 2026, where much cheaper rivals now fit six− No published resale or maintenance figures exist for it, so the running-cost picture beyond electricity is unknown

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.
