Is the dearer City worth it in Kerala?
The best-covered upgrade on this car is SV 1.5 Petrol MT to V 1.5 Petrol MT. In Kerala that costs ₹1,82,739 more on the road — against ₹1,50,800 ex-showroom, because road tax is banded on the sticker price — and it adds ₹1,24,000 of equipment we price, 82% of the ex-showroom rise.

Honda City on-road price in Kochi (Cochin) and across Kerala
These are the figures for every city in Kerala. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the SV 1.5 Petrol MT costs the same ₹14,57,139 to put on the road in Kochi as it does in Kannur. The only thing that moves between showrooms is the dealer handling charge, which is not a published figure — so it is not in any total on this page.

What Kerala charges
Kerala bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 10% to 22%. The SV 1.5 Petrol MT pays ₹1,79,985 of road tax on its ₹11,99,900 ex-showroom price, plus ₹2,160 of cess — the ₹1,82,145 the table shows. That cess is 0.18% of ex-showroom, and we bill it because it appears at exactly that rate on every invoice we checked, in all 36 states and union territories. We have not found the notification that sets it, so we describe it rather than name it.
| Ex-showroom band | Petrol | Diesel | CNG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹5,00,000 | 10% | 13% | 10% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 13% | 13% | 13% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹15,00,000 | 15% | 15% | 15% |
| ₹15,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 17% | 17% | 15% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 22% | 22% | 15% |
Kerala taxes diesel up to 3 percentage points higher than petrol, so the same trim costs more to register on that fuel here than the ex-showroom gap suggests.
The tax boundary to watch in Kerala
Kerala re-rates the whole price once a car crosses a band, so a small move up the range can cost several times its ex-showroom difference. On the Honda City, one variant does this.
V 1.5 Petrol CVT → ZX 1.5 Petrol MT
₹96,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,47,267 more on the road — ₹51,267 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 15% to 17%.
Worth knowing before you pick a trim: our verdict on whether the equipment justifies the gap is based on the ex-showroom difference, and in Kerala these upgrades cost more than that.
