The Maruti Suzuki Ignis has carved a niche for itself as a stylish urban hatchback with SUV-inspired design cues. Compact in dimensions but bold in appearance, the Ignis is a favourite among younger buyers and city dwellers who want individuality without compromising on practicality. Equipped with a reliable 1.2-litre petrol engine, it combines Maruti’s hallmark efficiency with peppy performance, making it an ideal daily commuter.

Under the previous GST system, however, the Ignis was taxed at 28% GST and 1% cess, totalling 29%. This raised its ex-showroom price and reduced its overall affordability, particularly in a segment where budget-conscious buyers dominate.

With the rollout of GST 2.0, effective September 22, 2025, the cess has been removed, and the Ignis now falls under a simplified 18% GST slab. This represents an 11% reduction in tax, which leads to a price drop by ₹49,000–₹70,000 depending on the variant. The Ignis now becomes even more appealing for first-time car buyers and urban professionals seeking a stylish, efficient hatchback.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Maruti Suzuki Ignis?

The Ignis qualifies as a small petrol car under GST rules, defined as a vehicle under 4 metres in length with a petrol engine of up to 1,200cc. Here’s how the taxation has changed.

Category	Old GST	Old Cess	Old Total Tax	New GST	New Total Tax	Change in Tax
Small cars (under 4m, ≤1,200cc petrol/CNG)	28%	1%	29%	18%	18%	11% lower than before

By cutting the tax burden, GST 2.0 has brought the Ignis’s ex-showroom prices down substantially. This ensures better affordability while strengthening its position against rivals like the Renault Kwid and Tata Tiago.

When are the new rates applicable?

The revised GST rates will take effect from September 22, 2025. Any Ignis variant invoiced, billed, or delivered on or after this date will reflect the new 18% GST-based pricing.

So, if you have planned to buy the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, this is the best time to make a purchase decision. With the new GST rates on small cars, you can save up to ₹70,000, depending on the variant.

Disclaimer: The new prices mentioned in this article are tentative and based on the revised GST rates applicable from 22 September 2025. Final ex-showroom prices may vary slightly as manufacturers and dealerships update their pricing structures in line with the new taxation policy.
