Step 3
What quietly adds up
Three costs people underestimate: how fast the car loses value, yearly service, and tyre replacements.
Value loss (depreciation)
A new car loses value the moment you drive it home — like produce that starts ageing after you leave the shop. Over five years that lost value is often the biggest single cost, even if you never "pay" it as a bill.
What it means for you: if two cars run similarly, the one that holds resale value better usually costs you less in the long run.
Step 4
Check a dealer on-road quote
See the showroom price plus tax, insurance, and extras — then paste a dealer total to spot inflated charges.

We estimate registration, insurance, and extras for your city. Paste what the dealer quoted to see if it looks fair.
Step 5
Petrol or diesel — when does the extra cost pay back?
Petrol or diesel — which pays back?
Diesel often costs more to buy, but less to run. This shows how far you need to drive before fuel savings cover that extra purchase price — in plain numbers for your city.
Extra you pay upfront
₹0.58L
E Diesel diesel costs about ₹0.58L more than E petrol before you drive a kilometre.
Fuel cost each km
₹6.1 vs ₹8.6
Diesel ≈ ₹6.1/km · petrol ≈ ₹8.6/km in Hyderabad — you save about ₹2.5 every kilometre on diesel. ~ preview
When you recover it
23k km
If you drive about 12k km a year, fuel savings cover the extra price after roughly 1.9 years (23k km total).
Bottom line: at your usage, Creta diesel should pay for its higher purchase price in under 5 years — so diesel is a sensible pick if you keep the car that long.
