There are barely any legacy automakers in the EV market right now; you can literally count them on your fingers. But Bajaj is one of those few auto giants that not only entered the EV space but is making its way to the absolute top of the EV market. The Bajaj has 2 variants of its electric scooters among the customers cruising through the Indian roads.
In this article, we’ll both the scooters and discuss the Bajaj Chetak price, range, top speed, and all details.
Bajaj Chetak Urbane Price
The Bajaj Chetak, a legendary name in Indian motoring, has returned in a modern electric avatar – the Chetak Urbane. This stylish scooter promises a blend of classic charm and contemporary technology, but understanding its price tag is crucial before you embark on your electric journey. So, let’s delve into the ex-showroom and on-road costs of the Bajaj Chetak Urbane, helping you make an informed decision.
Ex-showroom Price:
The Chetak Urbane comes in two variants: Urbane Standard and Urbane Tecpac. The Urbane Standard starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 1,15,001, while the Urbane Tecpac variant is slightly pricier at Rs. 1,23,001. This ex-showroom price represents the base cost of the scooter, excluding taxes and registration charges.
On-road Price:
But the ex-showroom price is just the starting point. To understand the real cost you’ll pay, let’s factor in the on-road charges:
- RTO Charges: These vary depending on location and can range from 2-5% of the ex-showroom price. So, in cities like Delhi, expect Rs. 2,300-5,750 RTO charges for the Chetak Urbane.
- Insurance: Third-party insurance is mandatory, and its cost depends on factors like your IDV (Insured Declared Value) and the chosen insurance provider. Generally, expect to pay between Rs. 5,000-8,000 for insurance.
- Additional Charges: Some states might levy additional charges like registration fees and handling charges. These are usually nominal, but adding them up gives you a more accurate picture of the on-road price.
Final on-road price:
Let’s take the example of Bangalore again. Assuming an RTO charge of Rs. 4,600 and an insurance premium of Rs. 6,500, the on-road price of the Chetak Urbane Standard in Bangalore would be approximate:
- Ex-showroom price: Rs. 1,15,001
- RTO charges: Rs. 4,600
- Insurance: Rs. 6,500
- On-road price: Rs. 1,26,101
Similarly, the on-road price for the Urbane Tecpac variant would be around Rs. 1,33,701.
Remember:
- The on-road price can vary significantly depending on your location and chosen insurance provider. Always check with your local Bajaj dealership for the precise cost in your area.
- Offers and discounts might fluctuate, so keep an eye out for deals that can further sweeten the deal.
Financing options are available from Bajaj and other lenders, which can help spread out the cost over a period.
