Hyundai Creta On Road Price in Kota

Topping the lineup at ₹23.12 Lakh on-road in Kota, the SX(O) Knight Diesel AT represents the Creta at its most loaded — diesel power, automatic transmission, and the full Knight edition treatment. That figure factors in Rajasthan's 12% road tax applicable to diesel engines above 1200 cc, a 12.5% surcharge on road tax, green tax, TCS at 1%, and Zone B insurance rates. For buyers eyeing the flagship, it's worth understanding how much of that sticker price is taxation versus vehicle cost.

An on-road price is the complete amount paid at purchase: ex-showroom cost plus road tax, registration (₹600), HSRP (₹695), smart card fee (₹200), green tax, insurance, and applicable TCS.

Rajasthan's road tax slabs create a meaningful gap between petrol and diesel Creta variants. Petrol models above 1200 cc attract 10% road tax, while equivalent diesel variants face 12% road tax. Add the 12.5% surcharge on that road tax amount, and the diesel premium extends well beyond just the engine's ex-showroom difference. Green tax for engines between 1501–1999 cc is ₹3,500, which applies to most Creta configurations. These state-level charges make Kota's on-road pricing distinctly different from what you'd pay in states with flat-rate road tax.

The E Petrol at ₹12.11 Lakh is the most accessible entry point — a manual petrol that keeps costs contained. Between the base and the top variant, the ₹11 Lakh spread across 11 variants reflects a wide choice ladder covering both fuel types and four transmission options: Manual, CVT, Automatic, and DCT. Mid-range variants with a turbo petrol DCT or a diesel manual tend to offer a strong balance of features and driveability without pushing into the steeper tax territory of the top trims.

Ownership costs in a tier-2 city like Kota tend to favour practical powertrain choices. If your daily driving is largely urban, a petrol CVT or turbo DCT keeps both the purchase tax and running costs moderate. Diesel makes financial sense mainly for higher monthly distances. Before settling on a variant, compare the full on-road breakup — not just ex-showroom figures — since Rajasthan's layered taxes can shift the value equation between trims more than you'd expect.
