The Maruti S-Presso has carved a niche for itself in the Indian hatchback market with its unique SUV-inspired design, compact dimensions, and high seating position. Positioned as a “mini SUV” by Maruti Suzuki, the S-Presso appeals to urban buyers who want the practicality of a small hatchback but with a bold stance and commanding road presence.

With the government’s recent revision of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure for small cars, the S-Presso has become even more attractive in terms of affordability. The tax rate has been reduced from 28% plus cess to a flat 18% with no cess, leading to a direct reduction in ex-showroom prices across all variants.

In this article, we take a closer look at the old vs new prices of the Maruti S-Presso, variant by variant, and explore why this price cut has taken place.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso (Petrol Variants) Final Prices after the GST Cut:

The petrol variants form the core of the S-Presso line-up. With multiple trims ranging from the base model (STD (O)) to the top-end (VXi+ (O) AGS) variants, buyers now benefit from lower ex-showroom prices thanks to the GST revision.

S-Presso Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	Final Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
STD (O) 1L ISS 5MT	₹4,26,500	₹3,90,132	₹36,368	8.53
LXi (O) 1L ISS 5MT	₹4,99,500	₹4,56,907	₹42,593	8.53
VXi (O) 1L ISS 5MT	₹5,21,499	₹4,77,030	₹44,469	8.53
VXi+ (O) 1L ISS 5MT	₹5,50,500	₹5,03,558	₹46,942	8.53
VXi (O) 1L ISS AGS	₹5,71,500	₹5,22,767	₹48,733	8.53
VXi+ (O) 1L ISS AGS	₹6,00,500	₹5,49,295	₹51,205	8.53
STD (O) 1L ISS 5MT	₹4,26,500	₹3,90,132	₹36,368	8.53

The lower prices enhance the value proposition of the S-Presso, making it an even stronger competitor to entry-level hatchbacks like the Renault Kwid and Maruti Alto K10.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso (CNG Variants) Final Prices after GST Cut

Maruti Suzuki also offers the S-Presso with a factory-fitted CNG kit, catering to budget-conscious urban buyers who prioritise running cost savings. Already one of the most economical hatchbacks in terms of daily fuel expenses, the CNG version now becomes more attractive with reduced upfront pricing.

S-Presso Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	Final Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
LXi (O) CNG 1L 5MT	₹5,91,500	₹5,41,062	₹50,438	8.53
VXi (O) CNG 1L 5MT	₹6,11,500	₹5,59,357	₹52,143	8.53

The CNG variants are particularly appealing to those who drive extensively within the city. They combine low operating costs with the S-Presso’s compact yet practical design.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso?

The price reduction stems from the government’s decision to make small cars more affordable. Previously, cars like the S-Presso attracted a 28% GST rate plus a cess, which increased the overall ex-showroom cost.

Under the new GST rate, small petrol cars with engine capacities under 1.2 litres and lengths under 4 metres (such as the S-Presso) now attract a flat 18% GST with no cess.

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

This move is aimed at revitalising the small car segment, which has seen a slowdown in recent years due to rising costs and shifting consumer preferences toward SUVs. By reducing prices, the government hopes to encourage first-time buyers and strengthen demand for budget-friendly models.
