Intro

Maruti Suzuki GST price cut 2025 starts from September 22 as the tax overhaul moves small cars to an 18% GST slab, reducing ex-showroom prices across hatchbacks and compact sedans. This matters because it’s real savings – up to over ₹1.10 lakh on select variants – just before the festive season.

What changed under GST

GST Council has reduced GST on small cars (under 4m, ≤1.2L petrol or ≤1.5L diesel) to 18% from the previous 28% GST plus a compensation cess that ranged from 1% to 3%. while larger cars are aligned to higher slab, creating a two-tier structure. New rates are applicable from invoices raised on and after September 22, effective from that date.

How it affects Maruti prices

According to reports from leading automotive news outlets, Maruti Suzuki has confirmed it will pass on the benefit, with variant-wise cuts ranging from ₹36,000 to over ₹1.10 lakh depending on model and engine. For customers, that’s immediate relief at billing, with deepest cuts on high-demand trims like Swift CNG.

Maruti Suzuki new prices and key reductions

• Alto K10: Base STD MT now starts at ₹3.87 lakh; reductions up to about ₹53,000.
• Swift: Up to ₹1.06 lakh; higher benefits on CNG variants.
• Baleno: Up to ₹85,000 on top trims as of Sep 22.
• Dzire: Up to about ₹87,000 on select variants.
• Brezza: As a mid-size SUV, it now falls under a new 40% GST slab (from an earlier 45-50% with cess), leading to cuts of up to about ₹48,000. Note: Figures vary by variant and source; treat as “up to” pending official consolidated price lists.

Small cars at 18% GST: the buyer impact

For entry models, the 18% GST is where it shines – effective reductions often in 7-10% range deliver real ex-showroom savings. That can lower down payment and EMIs when combined with festive offers.
