Is the dearer S-Presso worth it in Karnataka?
The best-covered upgrade on this car is VXi(O) 1.0 Petrol MT to VXi+(O) 1.0 Petrol MT. In Karnataka that costs ₹59,805 more on the road — against ₹50,000 ex-showroom, because road tax is banded on the sticker price — and it adds ₹11,900 of equipment we price, 23% of the ex-showroom rise.

Maruti S-Presso on-road price in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and across Karnataka
These are the figures for every city in Karnataka. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the Std(O) 1.0 Petrol MT costs the same ₹4,22,616 to put on the road in Bengaluru as it does in Belagavi. 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 Karnataka charges
Karnataka bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 13% to 18%. Karnataka also charges an 11% cess on the tax and a ₹1,000 registration cess. The Std(O) 1.0 Petrol MT pays ₹45,487 of road tax and ₹6,004 of those levies on its ₹3,49,900 ex-showroom price, plus ₹630 of cess — the ₹52,121 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 | 13% | 14% | 13% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 14% | 14% | 14% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 17% | 17% | 17% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 18% | 18% | 17% |
Karnataka taxes diesel up to 1 percentage point 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 Karnataka
Karnataka 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 Maruti S-Presso, 2 variants do this.
LXi(O) 1.0 CNG MT → VXi(O) 1.0 CNG MT
₹50,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹65,515 more on the road — ₹15,515 of it from crossing the ₹5,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 13% to 14%.
VXi+(O) 1.0 Petrol MT → VXi+(O) 1.0 Petrol AGS
₹45,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹59,679 more on the road — ₹14,679 of it from crossing the ₹5,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 13% 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 Karnataka these upgrades cost more than that.
