What the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT comes to ₹15,09,160 on the road in Itanagar and ₹17,39,005 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,29,845 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 ₹14.42L ex-showroom this is the fourth of 11 Taigun variants by price, ₹32,000 above the Highline Turbo Petrol AT. It is also the cheaper of the two ways into Highline Plus: the same features as the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT for ₹1.15L less. Stepping up to GT Line from here starts at ₹30,000 more and buys wheel size (17" against 16").
