The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is one of the most unique SUVs in the Indian market, offering a combination of rugged off-road capability and compact proportions. With its ladder-frame chassis, 4x4 drivetrain, and tried-and-tested 1.5-litre petrol engine, the Jimny appeals to adventure enthusiasts looking for a capable lifestyle vehicle.

Despite its niche positioning, the Jimny has carved a space for itself among off-roaders and urban buyers alike. Now, thanks to the Indian government’s GST 2.0 reforms, the Jimny is set to become more affordable.

Effective from September 22, 2025, the GST applicable to cars like the Jimny has been revised. Earlier, sub-4m vehicles with engines larger than 1.2L (petrol) or 1.5L (diesel) were taxed at 28% GST + 17% cess = 45% total tax. Under the new structure, this bracket has been rationalised to a flat 40% GST with no cess.

This shift results in a reduction in ex-showroom prices across all Jimny variants.

Maruti Suzuki Jimny (Petrol Variants) New Prices after the GST Cut

The Jimny is powered exclusively by a 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Its robust AllGrip Pro 4x4 system makes it one of the most affordable off-road SUVs in the country.

With the GST revision, ex-showroom prices for the entire Jimny range from the base Zeta MT to the top-spec Alpha AT have been reduced.

Jimny Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	New Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
1.5 ZETA ALLGRIP PRO	₹12,75,500	₹12,31,517	₹43,983	3.45
1.5 ZETA AUTO ALLGRIP PRO	₹13,85,500	₹13,37,724	₹47,776	3.45
1.5 ALPHA ALLGRIP PRO	₹13,70,500	₹13,23,241	₹47,259	3.45
1.5 ALPHA AUTO ALLGRIP PRO	₹14,80,500	₹14,29,448	₹51,052	3.45

While the percentage drop is smaller (3.45%) than that enjoyed by hatchbacks and compact sedans under the new GST policy, it still makes a significant difference for buyers considering a lifestyle SUV.

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

The reduction comes directly from the GST 2.0 policy changes. Vehicles under 4 metres but with petrol engines above 1.2L (like the Jimny’s 1.5L unit) were previously taxed at a high 45% (28% GST + 17% cess).

Now, the same category has been streamlined into a flat 40% GST, eliminating cess and simplifying taxation.

Category	Old GST	Old Cess	Old Total Tax	New GST	New Total Tax	Change in Tax
Compact cars (above 1,200cc and up to 1,500cc petrol/CNG)	28%	17%	45%	40%	40%	5% lower than before

This move not only lowers prices but also improves transparency and predictability in the taxation system for manufacturers and customers alike.

When are the new rates applicable?

The new GST structure will be effective from September 22, 2025. Any Jimny purchased, billed, or delivered after this date will reflect the lower ex-showroom prices.

If you were looking to buy a compact off-road-focused SUV, the Maruti Jimny might just fit the bill. Moreover, if you purchase the SUV now with the GST cut, you can enjoy a price drop of up to ₹51,000, depending on the variant you purchase.

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.
