The Maruti Suzuki Swift has long been one of the most popular hatchbacks in India, winning hearts with its sporty design, fun-to-drive character, and proven reliability. Over the years, it has become a household name, appealing to young buyers, families, and enthusiasts alike. Offering a strong mix of performance, features, and affordability, the Swift remains a popular name in the compact hatchback segment.

Now, the Swift has become even more attractive to prospective buyers, thanks to the government’s recent revision of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on small cars. From September 22, 2025, the GST applicable to compact cars has been reduced from 28% plus cess to a flat 18% with no cess. This major policy change has directly reduced ex-showroom prices across all Swift variants, making one of India’s favourite hatchbacks even more accessible.

In this article, we break down the old vs new prices of the Maruti Suzuki Swift, look at variant-wise changes, and explain the impact of the GST cut on buyers.

Maruti Suzuki Swift (Petrol Variants) Final Prices after the GST Cut

The Swift is powered by Maruti Suzuki’s efficient petrol engine and offered with both manual and AMT gearbox options. Known for its lively performance and excellent fuel efficiency, the petrol Swift is the most popular choice among hatchback buyers in India.

With the GST cut, all variants of the Swift petrol line-up from the base model to the top-end trims have seen a noticeable price reduction.

Swift Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	Final Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)

VXI 1.2L ISS 5MT	₹7,29,500	₹6,67,295	₹62,205	8.53
VXI (O) 1.2L ISS 5MT	₹7,56,500	₹6,91,992	₹64,508	8.53
ZXI 1.2L ISS 5MT	₹8,29,500	₹7,58,767	₹70,733	8.53
ZXI+ 1.2L ISS 5MT	₹8,99,500	₹8,22,799	₹76,701	8.53

ZXI+ 1.2L ISS AGS	₹9,49,501	₹8,68,535	₹80,966	8.53

This price cut improves the Swift’s overall value-for-money quotient, strengthening its appeal against rivals like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.

Maruti Suzuki Swift (CNG Variants) Final Prices after the GST Cut

For buyers looking to balance performance with running cost savings, Maruti Suzuki also offers the Swift with a factory-fitted CNG kit. The Swift CNG has gained popularity among budget-conscious urban commuters and fleet operators who seek Maruti’s proven reliability with lower fuel bills.

Now, with the GST rate revised to 18%, the ex-showroom price of Swift CNG variants has also dropped.

Swift Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	Final Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
VXI CNG 1.2L 5MT	₹8,19,500	₹7,49,620	₹69,880	8.53
VXI (O) CNG 1.2L 5MT	₹8,46,501	₹7,74,318	₹72,183	8.53
ZXI CNG 1.2L 5MT	₹9,19,500	₹8,41,093	₹78,407	8.53

This makes the Swift CNG an even more attractive choice for buyers who drive long distances and want to keep their ownership costs minimal.

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

The reduction in prices stems from the government’s decision to ease the GST burden on small cars. Earlier, hatchbacks like the Swift were taxed at 28% GST plus cess, which inflated their ex-showroom prices.

Now, the revised GST 2.0 structure imposes a flat 18% tax with no cess on small cars with an engine (petrol/CNG) capacity below 1.2 litres and a length under 4 metres—criteria under which the Swift falls.

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

This tax relief is part of a larger effort to revitalise demand in the compact and entry-level car market, encouraging affordability and boosting sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few commonly asked questions and their answers related to the Maruti Swift price after GST reduction.

How much cheaper has the Maruti Suzuki Swift become after the GST cut?

The exact reduction depends on the variant. The base trim gets a price cut of ₹55,000, while top-end trims reflect more substantial savings of up to ₹80,000.

Are both petrol and CNG versions of the Swift covered under the new GST rates?

Yes. The GST reduction applies to all Swift variants, whether petrol or CNG.

From when do the new GST rates come into effect?

Yes. While the GST cut ensures a tax-driven reduction, Maruti may revise prices slightly to account for production costs or market demand.
