New Car Loan Interest Rates

Based on your credit score, income, and other criteria, you can also avail a loan for 100% of the on-road price of your vehicle. New car loan interest rates start as low as 7.5%, offered by the Union Bank of India.

If you are looking to purchase a pre-owned car, you can avail a bank loan for that as well. The only point to consider while purchasing a pre-owned vehicle on a bank loan is that the car should not be more than 3 years old. 

Factors that Affect Car Loan Rates

Many factors affect auto loan interest rates, and in turn affect the car loan you might take. A few of them are person-specific, and some depend on the economy. A few of them are listed below - 

  • Credit Score

The interest rate offered to you depends on your CIBIL or Experian Score. A higher credit score will ensure that you get loans at lower interest rates.

  • Income and Type of Employment

How much you earn obviously decides the ease with which you can get a loan. Your employment type, either salaried or self-employed, also has a role to play. It also decides the rate at which you avail loans.

  • Type of Interest 

Whether you choose a fixed or a floating interest rate will affect your interest rate throughout your tenure. A floating interest rate fluctuates according to the market and may go lower or higher. 

  • Repo Rates

The Reserve Bank of India decides repo rates based on inflation or other economic conditions in the country. It also decides the repo rates, which in turn affect the rate at which banks give out loans to their customers.

  • Debt-to-Income Ratio

This is the ratio of your income to other debts or liabilities you may have. If the car loan you are about to take is the only loan under your name, chances are you will get a lower interest rate.

  • Type of Vehicle

The type of vehicle, i.e., either new or pre-owned, will affect the rate of interest on your vehicle loan. In most cases, new vehicles attract lower interest rates.

  • Loan Amount and Tenure

The loan amount and the tenure that you opt for will have the final say in deciding your interest rate. In case you choose a shorter tenure, your interest rate will be higher than if you choose a longer tenure. But note that for a longer tenure, you may end up paying more money in interest.

Conclusion

The rates of car loans depend on many factors. Before deciding upon a loan vendor, consider going through multiple bank websites. Often, banks have concessions for women borrowers and also waive off processing fees for certain periods. Knowing about these will help you save money while opting for a vehicle loan.

It is also a great idea to calculate your EMIs in advance, so that you can plan your finances better. You can use Moneyview’s car loan EMI calculator for this purpose.
