The Tata Prima E.28K costs about Rs 120 lakh to Rs 130 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.

It has 10 tyres in a 6X4 layout. Tyre size is 11x20-18PR ML.
