About AutoWider
AutoWider is an independent Indian car research guide. We help buyers understand what a car actually costs, which variant makes sense, and what to expect at the RTO — before they set foot in a showroom.
What we do
Buying a new car in India involves a lot more than the sticker price. Ex-showroom, on-road price, road tax, registration, insurance, TCS — it adds up fast, and it varies by state. Most buyers only find out the full number at the final delivery stage.
We publish city-wise on-road price breakdowns so buyers can see the total cost upfront. We also cover variant comparisons, fuel type tradeoffs, buying guides for different budgets, and news on price updates and launches.
Our goal is simple: help you make a confident buying decision without spending hours piecing together information from different sources.
What we cover
- On-road prices — city-wise breakdowns covering ex-showroom price, road tax, registration, insurance, and other charges
- Variant comparisons — what each trim actually adds and whether it is worth the premium
- Top picks — curated lists of the best cars by budget, body type, and fuel type
- Buying guides — plain-language explanations of GST, RTO charges, petrol vs CNG vs electric, and other decisions buyers face
- Car comparisons — head-to-head specs and price breakdowns for closely matched models
- News — price changes, new launches, variant updates, and policy changes that affect buyers
How we work
AutoWider is editorially independent. We are not affiliated with any car manufacturer, dealer, or financing company. We do not accept payment in exchange for favourable coverage.
Prices are compiled from manufacturer websites, official price circulars, and state RTO fee schedules. On-road calculations follow the standard formula: ex-showroom + road tax (state rate) + registration fee + insurance (third-party mandatory + own-damage estimate) + handling and logistics charges where applicable.
Prices change frequently. We update pages when manufacturers revise their price lists, but always verify the final on-road number with your dealer before booking.
Who we are
AutoWider is built and maintained by a small team of automotive writers and researchers based in India. We focus on the buying side of car ownership — the decisions people face before purchase — rather than track tests or enthusiast reviews.
