Grand Vitara, City to Get Cheaper in Karnataka - Here's Why

The Karnataka government aims to remove road tax and registration charges on hybrid cars, Reuters reported. If implemented, popular hybrid vehicles like the Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder will be cheaper by up to Rs 4 lakh in the state. This comes after the UP government slashed road tax and registration costs on hybrid vehicles, significantly reducing their price. To note, the scheme will apply to hybrid vehicles under Rs 25 lakh.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

Variant	Alpha + (Top model)
Registration tax	Rs 4 lakh
TCS	Rs 20,900
Insurance	Rs 86,691
Bengaluru Price (ex-showroom)	Rs 20.09 lakh
Bengaluru Price (on-road)	Rs 25.17 lakh

Maruti Grand Vitara comes with a 1.5-litre hybrid engine giving a mileage of 27.97 kmpl. Ventilated seats, a 9.1-inch touchscreen, an air filter, push-button start-stop and rear AC vents are some of its key features. Other features include 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, paddle shifters, cruise control, hill-hold assist, ABS with EBD and six airbags.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder

Variant	V (Top model)
Registration tax	Rs 3.77 lakh
TCS	Rs 20,000
Insurance	Rs 86,323
Bengaluru Price (ex-showroom)	Rs 19.99 lakh
Bengaluru Price (on-road)	Rs 24.82 lakh

The Toyota Hyryder is a cheaper alternative for those wanting to save money on their car purchase. As Toyota makes the 1.5-litre hybrid engine, it can keep the cost low. The same engine is used in the Grand Vitara. While features and safety options are similar to the Grand Vitara, you get up to 5 years of extended warranty on the Toyota Hyryder. It is cheaper by Rs 30,000 than the Grand Vitara.

Honda City e:HEV (Hybrid)

Variant	V (Base model)
Registration tax	Rs 3.58 lakh
TCS	Rs 19,000
Insurance	Rs 82,683
Bengaluru Price (ex-showroom)	Rs 19 lakh
Bengaluru Price (on-road)	Rs 23.60 lakh

The Honda City hybrid is one of the most fuel-efficient sedans with a 27.13 kmpl mileage. It offers features like projector headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels, touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ABS and ADAS. If reliability and comfortable ride are your priority, Honda City is a great choice.
