₹45,23,738 to ₹59,03,028 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 Life Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹45,23,738 in Ahmedabad and ₹51,95,778 in Kochi, a difference of ₹6,72,040 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.

+ Five stars at Euro NCAP under the current protocol, with 87 percent for adult occupants and 80 percent for its driver aids+ The cabin is what reviewers rate most: solid door shuts, materials that feel worth the money, plush supportive seats and ambient lighting they single out+ Handling reviewers call tidy and predictable, and the car hides its length better than the numbers suggest− Euro NCAP penalised it for poor compatibility, meaning the risk its front structure poses to people in a smaller car it hits− No diesel, in a car whose predecessor sold to people who wanted one− The third row is the weak point: the second row seat does not tumble, so climbing in is awkward, and knee and head room back there are tight for adults

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.
