The Maruti Suzuki Swift, India’s most recognisable hatchback, has just become more attainable than it has been in years.
Following the GST 2.0 tax reform, prices have dropped by ₹70,100 to ₹84,601 across petrol‑manual, petrol‑automatic, and CNG variants. The new ex-showroom prices, effective September 22, 2025, start at just ₹5.78 lakh.
GST 2.0 – A Win for Small Car Buyers
Under the old regime, small cars like the Swift attracted 28% GST plus cess. GST 2.0 slashes that to 18% with no cess, cutting ownership costs by nearly 10% in some trims. Maruti Suzuki has passed the full benefit to buyers, making the Swift’s already strong value proposition even more compelling in the run-up to the festive season.
