Tata Nexon On-Road Price in Bangalore
₹7.40 Lakh to ₹14.52 Lakhex-showroom

The Nexon on-road price in Bangalore is ₹8.85 Lakh to ₹17.58 Lakh, from the Nexon Smart to the top Nexon Fearless Plus PS DT Diesel AMT.
Road tax is only part of the bill in Bangalore. Karnataka adds an 11% cess on the tax itself, plus a ₹1,000 welfare cess, which comes to ₹16,400 on the Nexon Creative variant. That variant, at ₹11.94 lakh on-road, is still the one to price first, because its ₹10.00 lakh sticker keeps it inside the 14% band.

Which Nexon variant gives you the most for the money?
Moving from the Nexon Creative to the Nexon Creative DCA automatic adds ₹2.18 lakh on the road against a ₹1.42 lakh difference in the showroom. Most of the extra is Karnataka's 17% band, plus the cess and the TCS that come with it.
If the budget stops near ₹10.66 lakh, the Nexon Smart Plus AMT variant is the cheapest automatic and still pays 14%. Diesel buyers meet the same wall: the Nexon Pure Plus Diesel at ₹11.94 lakh is taxed at 14%, while the Nexon Pure Plus Diesel AMT jumps to 17%.
Compare any two variants below to see the extra on-road cost and what you get for it.

- ▲Sunroof
- ▲Reverse camera
- ▲Cruise control
- ▲Touchscreen
- ▲Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Is the Nexon cheaper in another city?
Road tax is set by each state, so the Nexon Creative Plus S variant costs ₹1.35 lakh more in Bangalore than in Ahmedabad, the biggest gap among our seven cities. Register the car where you live, though. Keep a car from another state in Karnataka for more than 12 months and you must re-register it here and pay Karnataka's road tax as well.
| City | Road tax | Nexon Smart | Nexon Creative Plus S | vs Bangalore |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nexon in Ahmedabad | 6% | ₹8.13 Lakh | ₹11.60 Lakh | ₹1.35 lakh less |
| Nexon in Delhi | 10% | ₹8.21 Lakh | ₹12.02 Lakh | ₹93,869 less |
| Nexon in Mumbai | 12% | ₹8.52 Lakh | ₹12.25 Lakh | ₹70,416 less |
| Nexon in Pune | 12% | ₹8.52 Lakh | ₹12.25 Lakh | ₹70,416 less |
| Nexon in Chennai | 18% | ₹8.67 Lakh | ₹12.88 Lakh | ₹7,659 less |
| Nexon in Hyderabad | 18% | ₹8.78 Lakh | ₹12.91 Lakh | ₹4,062 less |
| Bangalore | 17% | ₹8.85 Lakh | ₹12.95 Lakh |
Road tax rate for the Nexon Creative Plus S variant. Each city uses its own state's tax, cesses and fees.
Nexon in Bangalore: questions buyers ask
Does the Nexon EV still pay no road tax in Bangalore?
No. Karnataka now taxes electric cars at 5% up to ₹10 lakh and 8% from ₹10 lakh to ₹25 lakh, with the same 11% cess on top. That puts the Nexon EV Creative Plus (MR) variant at about ₹14.20 lakh on-road, roughly ₹7,000 more than the petrol Nexon Creative DCA.
What are the two cesses on a Bangalore Nexon bill?
Karnataka adds 11% of the road tax as a cess that funds infrastructure and the metro, and a flat ₹1,000 welfare cess for transport workers, charged since 2025. On the Nexon Creative variant the two together come to ₹16,400, already counted in the breakdown.
Is there an extra RTO fee if I buy the Nexon on a loan in Bangalore?
Yes, ₹800 to record the loan on your registration certificate, which is lower than the ₹1,500 most states charge. It is a one-time fee paid at registration, so it is not part of the on-road price shown here.
Which Nexon copes best with Bangalore traffic and potholes?
Ground clearance of 208 mm handles speed breakers and broken patches on every variant, so the real question is the gearbox. For daily crawls past Silk Board or Marathahalli, the ₹10.66 lakh Nexon Smart Plus AMT saves your left leg, and the Nexon Creative DCA shifts more smoothly if you can stretch to it.
Is the Nexon Creative CNG variant a smart buy in Bangalore?
Probably not. It costs ₹1.93 lakh more on-road than the petrol Nexon Creative, mainly because its price puts it in Karnataka's 17% band. At ₹99 a kg, CNG saves about ₹1,250 a month over petrol at 1,500 km, so that gap takes more than 12 years to recover.
