But here\u2019s the catch: rather than what you would really pay to take the vehicle home, the price shown generally represents the ex-showroom price. That\u2019s where confusion begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, lakhs of buyers walk into dealerships without understanding the considerable difference between on-road and ex-showroom prices. But <strong>what is ex-showroom price, <\/strong>and<strong> what is on-road <\/strong><strong>price? <\/strong>Although the ex-showroom price offers a rough estimate, the on-road price shows the real cost of ownership, including taxes, insurance, and registration. Depending on the vehicle and state rules, this difference can go as high as Rs. 1 to 3 lakhs, depending on the car and state policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the two price terms is not only beneficial, it&#8217;s also necessary to create a proper budget, prevent surprise costs, and negotiate better with the dealer.
