Disclaimer

The Spec’d is here to help you choose the right car or bike. Please keep the points below in mind before you act on anything you read here.

Prices change

Prices on The Spec’d are indicative ex-showroom figures unless we say otherwise. We take them from makers’ official price lists and other published sources and check them regularly, but prices in India change often, and the price you pay can differ by city, dealer, version, colour and offer. Always confirm the final price with an authorised dealer before you buy.

On-road prices, EMIs and running costs are estimates

Our on-road prices add road tax, registration, insurance and other fees, worked out from each state’s published rules and typical insurance figures. EMIs, fuel bills and ownership costs use typical loan rates and dated fuel prices. They are a good guide, not a quote: your dealer, bank and insurer will give you the exact figures.

Specs, mileage and safety ratings

Specifications, mileage and range are the makers’ claimed figures unless we name another source, and they can differ between versions. We don’t run a test fleet. Crash-test ratings come from the testing programmes’ own published results, and a rating earned by a related model is never shown as this model’s own. Makers sometimes change a model after launch, so check the details that matter to you with the dealer.

Upcoming models

Launch dates, expected prices and specs for models that haven’t launched in India yet come from makers’ announcements and published reports. They can change, or turn out to be wrong, so treat anything that isn’t confirmed as exactly that.

We don’t sell vehicles

The Spec’d isn’t a dealer, and we’re not an agent for any maker, dealer, bank or insurer. We don’t take bookings, payments or deliveries, and we don’t handle warranties, servicing or claims. Those are between you and the dealer, the maker or the provider.

Our takes are opinions

Our reviews, comparisons, picks and verdicts are our honest opinion, built on the published figures. Your needs may be different, so use them as a guide, not a guarantee.

Not professional advice

Nothing on The Spec’d is financial, legal, tax or insurance advice. Anything we say about loans, EMIs, insurance, road tax or offers is general information. Check the terms with the bank, insurer, transport office or dealer before you sign up.

Ads and affiliate links

Ads are marked as ads, and showing an ad doesn’t mean we endorse the product. If we add affiliate links, they’ll be labelled, and they won’t change what we recommend.

Trademarks

The Spec’d™ name and logo are trademarks of Hyphn Studios LLP. Vehicle names, brand names, logos and photos belong to their owners. Using them doesn’t mean their owners endorse The Spec’d, or that we’re connected to them.
