The Maruti Wagon R has been a household name in India for over two decades, earning its reputation as a practical, spacious, and fuel-efficient hatchback. Known for its tall-boy design, easy ingress and egress, and versatile cabin space, the Wagon R has consistently been among the best-selling cars in the country. It appeals to families, professionals, and even fleet operators who prioritise practicality and reliability.

Now, the Wagon R has become even more attractive following the Indian government’s revision of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. From 22 September 2025, small cars like the Wagon R will be taxed at a flat 18% GST with no cess, down from the earlier 28% plus cess. This change translates into lower ex-showroom prices across all variants, making the Wagon R an even stronger value proposition.

In this article, we examine the old vs new prices of the Maruti Wagon R after the GST revision, look at variant-specific reductions, and explain the broader impact of this GST cut.

Maruti Wagon R (CNG Variants) New Prices after the GST Cut

Maruti Suzuki has also been offering the Wagon R with a factory-fitted CNG option, which has become a popular choice among buyers seeking lower running costs. The CNG version was already one of the most economical cars to run, and with the GST reduction, its purchase price is now more accessible.

Wagon R Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	New Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
TOUR H3 CNG 1L 5MT	₹6,65,500	₹6,08,752	₹56,748	8.53

For urban commuters and fleet operators, the Wagon R CNG is now even more attractive, delivering unbeatable savings both upfront and over the long run.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Maruti Wagon R?

The price reduction stems directly from the GST policy update for small cars. Until now, the Wagon R, like other hatchbacks under 4 metres with petrol engines below 1.2 litres, attracted a 28% GST rate plus an additional cess.

The following table highlights the change in GST rates for small petrol cars.

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 landmark change is intended to make entry-level and budget-friendly cars more affordable, reviving demand in a segment where sales have slowed in recent years due to rising ownership costs.

When are the new rates applicable?

The revised GST rates for small cars come into effect from 22 September 2025. Any Wagon R purchased or invoiced from this date will reflect the new ex-showroom prices. So, if you are planning to get the Maruti Wagon R, this is the right time. You can save up to ₹63,000, depending on the variant, thanks to the new GST 2.0 tax structure.

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.
