How does the tenure affect my Car Loan Interest Rate?

If the tenure of your car loan is shorter, the car loan interest rate may be higher compared to a longer tenure. For example, when considering the ICICI Bank car loan interest rate for 7 years, a longer tenure spreads the repayment over an extended period, thereby reducing the EMI payable each month.

How is the Car Loan interest calculated?

Key Components Used in Calculation

  • P (Principal Amount) The total amount borrowed for the vehicle purchase.
