Car Loan Rates in India (2026)

New Car Loan: 8.50% – 10.50% p.a. (SBI: 8.50%, HDFC: 8.75%, ICICI: 8.90%, Bank of Baroda: 8.60%)

Used Car Loan: 11.00% – 16.00% p.a. (higher rates due to depreciation risk, shorter tenure)

Electric Vehicle Loans: 0.5–1% lower than regular car loans at most banks (government incentive)

Loan-to-Value: Up to 100% of ex-showroom price for new cars (some banks fund insurance too). Used cars: 70–80% of valuation

Typical tenure: 1–7 years. Most buyers opt for 5 years. Shorter tenure saves significant interest

Processing fee: 0.5%–1% of loan amount. Often waived during festive or manufacturer-sponsored offers

Zero-cost EMI offers from manufacturers are essentially pre-paid interest — compare with bank loans before choosing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EMI for a ₹10 lakh car loan?
At 9% interest for 5 years: EMI = ₹20,758/month. Total interest = ₹2,45,488. Total payment = ₹12,45,488. At 9% for 7 years: EMI = ₹16,089/month. Total interest = ₹3,51,459. Shorter tenure saves over ₹1 lakh in interest.
Should I take a longer or shorter car loan tenure?
Shorter is always better for car loans. Cars depreciate rapidly — a 7-year loan means you'll owe more than the car is worth for years. Aim for 3–5 years maximum. The interest savings are substantial: on a ₹10L loan at 9%, 5 years costs ₹2.45L in interest vs ₹3.51L for 7 years.
Is car loan interest tax-deductible?
No, car loan interest is not tax-deductible for personal use. However, if the car is used for business purposes and registered in the business name, the interest and depreciation can be claimed as business expenses.
Can I prepay my car loan?
Yes. Most banks allow prepayment after 6 months. Prepayment charges: 0–5% of outstanding (many banks charge zero for floating rate loans). RBI mandates no prepayment penalty on floating rate loans.
New car loan vs used car loan — which is cheaper?
New car loans have significantly lower interest rates (8.5–10.5%) vs used car loans (11–16%). However, a 2–3 year old used car costs 30–40% less. Run the numbers: the total cost (price + interest) of a used car with a higher rate is often still less than a new car with a lower rate.
