On-road price breakup (Bengaluru, estimate)₹48.44 L

	₹38,89,000
Road tax (lifetime, Karnataka) Karnataka charges 18% of the invoice price, plus 11% cess on that tax and a ₹1,000 cess. The applicable slab applies to the whole vehicle price, not only the amount above its threshold.	₹7,78,022
Registration, HSRP & smart card (estimate) ₹2,860 is a budgeting allowance for registration, high-security plates, smart card and processing; it is not a verified itemised RTO fee schedule.	₹2,860
Insurance (planning estimate) Planning estimate, not an insurer quote: 1-year own damage at 2.48% of ex-showroom (GST included), plus the notified 3-year third-party base and one annual TP premium allowance, with 18% GST. The Supreme Court directed 4-year TP cover on 4 August 2026; a notified 4-year tariff has not been verified. Confirm the policy term and final premium. Owner-driver personal accident cover and add-ons are extra unless already covered.	₹1,34,789
TCS (1%) Tax collected at source on cars above ₹10 lakh. It is an advance income-tax payment creditable against your tax liability; any refund depends on your return and tax due.	₹38,890
FASTag & misc. FASTag and small documentation charges.	₹850
On-road total	₹48,44,411

• Insurance includes an estimated extra annual TP allowance following the four-year-cover direction; its final tariff and policy term need an insurer quote. Calculation and sources.
• Not included: owner-driver personal accident cover, add-ons, accessories, extended warranty and dealer handling or logistics charges. Ask for an itemised written quote before comparing the final amount.

Delivery checklistChecks to make before collecting this car.

Sorento delivery checklist

A quick pre-delivery inspection (PDI) before you accept your car.

Match the VIN, Sorento variant, powertrain and paint on the vehicle against your order and invoice before accepting delivery.
Inspect the clean car in daylight: paint, panels, glass, tyres, lights, seats and every promised accessory. Photograph concerns and get a written resolution.
Ask the dealer to demonstrate a normal start, dashboard warning-light self-check, air conditioning, keys and the controls fitted to your variant.
