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.

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.
When are the new rates applicable?
The revised GST rates are effective from September 22, 2025. Buyers who purchase or take delivery of a Maruti Suzuki Swift after this date will benefit from the reduced ex-showroom prices.
The Maruti Suzuki Swift has witnessed a price reduction of up to ₹80,000, depending on the variant. Hence, if you are considering this hatchback, this might be the best time to buy one.
