Hyundai Creta On Road Price in Kanpur

With an ₹11 Lakh gap between the entry and flagship trims, the Creta's price ladder in Kanpur gives buyers meaningful room to match their budget to their priorities. Whether the goal is a no-frills compact SUV or a feature-rich diesel automatic, there's a variant positioned for nearly every use case in this range.

Starting at ₹12.52 Lakh, the E Petrol is a straightforward entry point — a petrol manual aimed at buyers who want the Creta's design and build without paying for features they won't use. Moving through the mid-range, expect additions like a larger touchscreen, connected-car tech, and safety upgrades. At the top, the SX(O) Knight Diesel AT at ₹23.48 Lakh bundles the diesel powertrain with an automatic gearbox and the full feature suite, making it the most capable but also the most expensive configuration.

Fuel choice matters here more than in many segments. The petrol lineup covers Manual and CVT options, suiting city-focused commuters in Kanpur who prioritise lower acquisition cost. Diesel variants, paired with either Manual or DCT transmissions, make sense for those clocking higher monthly kilometres — think frequent highway runs toward Lucknow or Agra. The DCT, in particular, offers a sharper driving feel compared to the CVT, though it does push the price noticeably higher.

Uttar Pradesh's tiered road tax structure plays a direct role in final pricing. Variants with an ex-showroom price under ₹10 Lakh attract 9% road tax, while those above fall into the 11% bracket — and most Creta variants land in that higher slab. On-road price is the sum of ex-showroom cost, RTO registration and road tax, IRDAI-mandated insurance (3-year third-party plus 1-year own damage plus PA cover at Zone B non-metro rates), and 1% TCS since every variant exceeds ₹10 Lakh. These statutory components collectively add a significant chunk over the listed ex-showroom figure.

For Kanpur specifically, Zone B insurance rates keep that portion slightly lower than what buyers in metro cities face, which offers a small but real saving. There's no additional municipal or green tax layered on top for non-electric vehicles in UP at present, so the cost structure stays relatively transparent compared to some other states.

If budget discipline is the priority, the lower petrol manual trims deliver the core Creta experience without overextending. Buyers who want the diesel automatic combination should budget closer to the ₹20-23 Lakh bracket and evaluate whether the higher running efficiency justifies the upfront premium over a petrol CVT. The mid-spec variants often hit the sweet spot — balancing feature count, powertrain choice, and on-road cost in a way that suits most Kanpur households looking for a capable daily-plus-weekend SUV.
