Maruti Suzuki Hatchbacks Reduce Prices, Followed by GST 2.0, Making Arena & Nexa Models More Affordable

​Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest automotive brand, has announced that they are ready to pass the full GST benefit across the Arena and Nexa portfolios. Thanks to the introduction of the new GST tax reforms, the Maruti Suzuki cars will be more affordable to the Indian consumers. The updated Goods and Services Tax regime has categorized the 4-wheeler into two tax slabs. The first are those vehicles under 4 meters that have engine capacities up to 1200 cc for petrol and up to 1500 cc for diesel, which are placed under the 18% tax slab. Beyond such specifications, the car is placed under a flat 40% without any additional cess, delivering tangible savings for new car buyers.

With the implementation of the new tax slab, Maruti Suzuki models from the Arena and Nexa dealerships have reduced their prices by up to Rs 36,000 to Rs 1.06 lakh across the portfolio. Some famous hatchbacks under the brand, like Alto K10, S-Presso, Wagon R, Swift, Ignis, and Baleno, have surpassed the latest GST benefit. Let us check out all the revised prices across all variants of the Maruti Nexa and Arena hatchback lineup.
