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.
