₹51,65,545 to ₹58,78,005 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.

This one is sold in a single variant, so that range is geography and nothing else: the same car, priced in each of the 21 states whose rates we hold.

Of the 21 states we can price it in, 12 of them are level at the lowest and Assam comes out highest. That is ₹51,65,545 against ₹58,78,005, a difference of ₹7,12,460 on the identical car. 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.

+ Named the best small SUV Euro NCAP tested in 2025, with full marks protecting six and ten year old children+ The driver aids scored 92 percent, and Euro NCAP credited the software rather than extra sensors+ Faults are often diagnosed and fixed over the air, so the car spends less time off the road− Real-world efficiency is merely decent for a car this advanced, and the heat here does not help− Almost every control lives in the touchscreen, which not everyone gets on with− The car is far ahead of the network that supports it: see the brand entry for how few places can service it

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.
