Hyundai Creta On Road Price in Varanasi

At ₹23.48 Lakh, the range-topping SX(O) Knight Diesel AT represents the Creta's most loaded configuration available in Varanasi — a diesel automatic with every feature Hyundai packs into this SUV. That figure is nearly ₹11 Lakh more than the entry-level E Petrol, making the variant ladder here one of the widest in the compact SUV space. Understanding where your budget falls within this spread is the single most useful starting point before visiting a showroom.

Uttar Pradesh applies a tiered road tax system, and since every Creta variant carries an ex-showroom price above ₹10 Lakh, the applicable slab is 11% across the board. This is a meaningful chunk of the on-road total. On top of that, IRDAI-mandated insurance — comprising 3-year third-party, 1-year own damage, and PA cover calculated at Non-Metro Zone B rates — adds to the final bill. A 1% TCS also applies to all variants since each crosses the ₹10 Lakh threshold. The on-road price of a car is the sum of ex-showroom cost, RTO registration, insurance, and TCS — together, these components explain the gap between listed and actual purchase prices.

Across the 11 variants, Hyundai splits the Creta between petrol and diesel powertrains. Transmission choices are unusually diverse: a standard manual, a CVT paired with the petrol, and a DCT or torque-converter automatic depending on the variant. Diesel buyers who want an automatic will land in the upper half of the price range, while petrol manuals cluster near the entry point. This means buyers in Varanasi who prioritise fuel economy on highway stretches toward Lucknow or Allahabad might lean diesel, whereas city-focused commuters could find the petrol CVT a sweet spot between cost and convenience.

The E Petrol at ₹12.52 Lakh strips the Creta to its essentials — no frills, but you still get the platform, safety architecture, and engine that define the model. Mid-tier variants bridge the gap with added features and powertrain upgrades without jumping to the ₹20 Lakh-plus territory of the top diesel automatics. For many Varanasi buyers, these middle variants often deliver the best balance of equipment and outlay, especially if a manual gearbox isn't a dealbreaker.

Before committing, factor in long-term ownership costs — insurance renewals, fuel running costs based on your daily commute, and periodic servicing. Varanasi's Zone B insurance rates keep premiums slightly lower than metro benchmarks, which is a small but real advantage over time. Matching your variant choice to actual driving needs, rather than simply stretching for the flagship, is the most financially sound approach to buying the Creta here.
