GaadiWaadi –

Here is the complete variant-wise price breakup of the top 5 midsize SUVs after the rollout of GST 2.0 in India

The Union Govt rolled out the GST 2.0, the restructured and simplified version of the taxation system, a few days back in the country. This made cars and bikes a lot cheaper than before and all the automakers chose to pass these benefits directly to the customers ahead of the festive season of Diwali. The sales numbers are certainly going to rise in the coming months as 2025 GST reforms come into effect from Sep 22 with lower tax rates. In this piece, we talk about the impact of GST 2.0 on midsize SUVs.

1. Hyundai Creta

The highest-selling midsize SUV in India has become more economical by around Rs 70k. Earlier, the petrol and diesel variants of the Creta were taxed between 45-50 percent. However, with the introduction of the GST 2.0, the entire variant line-up of Hyundai Creta, irrespective of fuel, attracts a uniform GST of 40 percent.

Hyundai Creta is priced between Rs 11.11-20.00 lakh. But, come Sep 22, it will be available in a price range of 10.73-19.31 lakh with the prices being reduced by Rs 38k-70k in the domestic market.

The Seltos, Kia’s first model in the Indian market, has also become more affordable by up to Rs 75k in the country. It is available with multiple engine-gearbox combinations which includes two petrol and one diesel powertrains. Identical to the Creta, Kia Seltos used to fall in the 45-50 percent tax category but now it is taxed at 40 percent, leading to a decent price cut ranging from 40k to 75k.

Priced in a bracket of Rs 11.19-20.56 lakh as of now, it will be sold to the buyers between Rs 10.79-19.81 lakh from Sep 22, 2025. While the base variant price comes down by Rs 40k, the price of the top-end variant is lower by Rs 75k.

3. Maruti Grand Vitara

The brand’s flagship model in India is offered with strong hybrid tech alongside the regular petrol variants. While the standard petrol trims are taxed at 45 percent, the strong hybrid grades attract 43 percent GST. However, with the GST 2.0, the entire model line-up is placed in the 40 percent tax slab, irrespective of the powertrain setup.

Maruti Grand Vitara price has dropped by up to Rs 68k, depending upon the variant. Presently priced between Rs 11.42-20.52 lakh, it can be availed in a range of Rs 11.03-20.09 lakh from Sep 22.

With GST 2.0 coming into effect from Sep 22, Toyota Hyryder will be taxed at 40 percent, ensuring a price reduction in the range of 39k-65k.

The ongoing pricing between Rs. 11.34-19.99 will come down to Rs. 10.95-19.57 lakh. However, the biggest beneficiary of the GST 2.0 roll out will be the V 4WD grade (1.5L engine with torque converter automatic gearbox) with price cut of over Rs 65k.

5. Skoda Kushaq

Skoda Kushaq is sold with 1.0L and 1.5L petrol engines with manual and automatic gearbox options in the Indian market. Earlier taxed at 45 percent, it has been placed in the 40 percent GST slab, thus resulting in a price reduction by up to Rs 66k. The Kushaq’s price between Rs. 10.99-19.09 lakh has been reduced to Rs. 10.61-18.43 lakh with a cut by Rs. 38k-66k.
