Kia Seltos on-road price in Guwahati, Assam (2026)

Is the dearer Seltos worth it in Assam?

The best-covered upgrade on this car is HTK 1.5 Petrol IVT to HTK(O) 1.5 Petrol IVT. In Assam that costs ₹1,27,798 more on the road — against ₹1,10,000 ex-showroom, because road tax is banded on the sticker price — and it adds ₹1,22,000 of equipment we price, 110% of the ex-showroom rise.

Kia Seltos on-road price in Guwahati and across Assam

These are the figures for every city in Assam. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the HTE 1.5 Petrol MT costs the same ₹13,10,009 to put on the road in Guwahati as it does in Dibrugarh. 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 Assam charges

Assam bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 6% to 14%. The HTE 1.5 Petrol MT pays ₹1,12,490 of road tax on its ₹11,24,900 ex-showroom price, plus ₹2,025 of cess — the ₹1,14,515 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.

Assam taxes diesel up to 4 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 Assam

Assam 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 Kia Seltos, 2 variants do this.

• GTX(A) 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT → GTX(O) 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT

  ₹1,57,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹2,68,678 more on the road — ₹1,11,678 of it from crossing the ₹20,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 10% to 14%.

• GTX 1.5 Diesel AT → GTX(A) 1.5 Diesel AT

  ₹32,500 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,19,054 more on the road — ₹86,554 of it from crossing the ₹20,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 10% to 14%.

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 Assam these upgrades cost more than that.
