The Hyundai Alcazar has been Hyundai’s strong contender in the three-row SUV segment in India. Positioned above the Hyundai Creta and competing with the likes of the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, and Mahindra XUV700, the Alcazar is known for its premium design, flexible 6 and 7-seat layouts, and the choice of efficient petrol and diesel powertrains.
With the upcoming GST 2.0 reforms, effective from September 22, 2025, the Alcazar is set to receive a welcome price revision. The government has simplified taxation by removing the complex cess structure and moving to a uniform rate system.
Currently, SUVs like the Alcazar (above 4 metres and powered by 1.5-litre engines) are taxed at 28% GST plus 17% cess, totalling 45%. With the revised GST, this will be replaced by a flat 40% tax rate with no cess, directly translating into lower ex-showroom prices for the Alcazar across all variants.
