Isuzu V-Cross Price in Panvel

The car's on-road price in India is the total price you pay to drive it legally on the road. It's more than the ex-showroom price, which is the price quoted by the car manufacturer and doesn't include various taxes and fees. Here's how to calculate the on-road price:

1. Start with the Ex-showroom Price: This is the base price of the car set by the manufacturer. You can find it on the car's brochure, manufacturer's website, or by visiting a dealership.

2. Add Road Tax: Road tax is a mandatory fee charged by the state government where you register the car. The percentage varies depending on the state and car type. It typically ranges from 4% to 15% of the ex-showroom price.

3. Add Registration Fee: This fee is paid to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to register the car and get a license plate. The fee varies depending on the car's engine size and can be roughly estimated at Rs. 10,000.

4. Factor in Insurance: Car insurance is mandatory in India. There are two parts: third-party insurance (which covers damage to other vehicles and property) and comprehensive insurance (which covers your car for theft, accidents, and natural disasters). The premium amount depends on factors like the car's IDV (Insured Declared Value), your location, and driving history. You can expect to pay around 2-3% of the ex-showroom price for third-party insurance and more for comprehensive coverage.

5. Include Other Charges (Optional): Dealerships may add handling charges or logistics fees for delivering the car to you. These are usually negotiable.

Here's a formula to estimate the on-road price:

On-Road Price = Ex-showroom Price + (Road Tax %/100 * Ex-showroom Price) + Registration Fee + Insurance Premium + Other Charges (if any)

Example: Let's say the ex-showroom price of a car is Rs. 5,00,000:

• Road Tax (assuming 10%): Rs. (10/100 * 5,00,000) = Rs. 50,000

• Registration Fee: Rs. 10,000 (estimated)

• Third-party Insurance (assuming 3%): Rs. (3/100 * 5,00,000) = Rs. 15,000

• Estimated On-road Price: Rs. 5,75,000 (This is just an estimate, the actual price may vary depending on the exact charges.)

Tips:

1. Use online car on-road price calculators for a more precise estimate specific to your location and car model—these calculators factor in the latest tax rates and insurance quotes.

2. Negotiate with the dealer on the ex-showroom price and other charges (like handling fees) to reduce the on-road price.
