Hyundai Venue On Road Price in Howrah

Topping the lineup at ₹17.61 Lakh, the VENUE 1.5 CRDi AT DSL HX10 DT represents the most feature-rich diesel-automatic combination in Howrah. That price includes West Bengal's road tax, Zone A insurance premiums, and a 1% TCS levy applicable on variants priced above ₹10.00 Lakh ex-showroom. With an ₹8.6 Lakh gap between the entry and flagship variants, understanding how state-level charges stack up is essential before committing to a purchase.

West Bengal applies a tiered road tax system — buyers can opt for either a 5-year registration at 5.5% of the ex-showroom price or a 15-year registration at 10%. For a sub-compact SUV like the Venue, both the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines fall within the 801–1490 cc bracket, so the same slab applies regardless of fuel choice. Fixed charges add up too: ₹600 for registration, ₹441 for HSRP, and ₹200 for the smart card. Insurance follows IRDAI norms — three-year third-party plus one-year own damage plus PA cover, calculated at metro Zone A rates, which tend to be marginally higher than non-metro zones.

The on-road price of any vehicle is the sum of its ex-showroom cost, road tax, registration and HSRP fees, insurance premium, and applicable TCS — each of these components varies by variant and state.

Across 27 variants, the Venue offers genuine depth. The entry-level VENUE 1.2 Kappa MT HX2 at ₹9.06 Lakh pairs a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a manual gearbox — a straightforward choice for budget-focused buyers who want Hyundai's build quality without stretching finances. Mid-tier variants bridge the gap with DCT options for those who want clutch-free city driving without jumping to the diesel range. Higher trims introduce the 1.5 CRDi diesel, available with both manual and automatic transmissions, catering to buyers who clock serious highway kilometres.

Petrol manuals sit at the affordable end, making them ideal for Howrah's dense urban traffic where fuel efficiency at lower speeds matters more than outright torque. The DCT petrol variants add convenience for stop-and-go commutes across the Howrah Bridge corridor and into Kolkata. Diesel variants, particularly with the automatic gearbox, justify their premium for those regularly covering longer distances — the torque advantage and fuel economy over extended runs can offset the higher upfront cost over time.

Practically speaking, Howrah buyers should weigh three things: daily commute pattern, registration tenure preference, and transmission comfort. Choosing the 15-year road tax at 10% costs more upfront but eliminates renewal hassle and can be more economical if you plan to hold the car long-term. Shorter ownership cycles favour the 5.5% five-year option. For most city-centric buyers, a mid-spec petrol DCT variant hits the sweet spot between price, features, and running costs. If your driving extends beyond the metro regularly, stepping up to the diesel automatic is a sound investment — just factor in the TCS that kicks in on those higher-priced trims.
