Maruti Dzire Price After GST Cut
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of saving money on a new car, especially in India, where value-for-money rules the road. And the latest news is, if you had your eye on a Maruti Suzuki Dzire, the government’s GST overhaul just dropped a small windfall right into your lap.
The GST on small cars (that’s under 4 meters, with a 1.2-litre petrol or CNG engine) has been slashed from a hefty 28% plus cess to a flat 18% no cess, no asterisks. Result? Dzire prices across the board are down, and not by a few hundred rupees, either. It’s the sort of price drop that makes you want to call up your cousin who always waits for a “better deal” and smugly say, “This is it, buddy”.
Here, check out the numbers. They honestly shocked me when I first saw them:

Now, if you’re a little more green-minded (or just budget-minded), you’ll be pleased to know the CNG options aren’t left out. Factory-fitted CNG Dzires also got their sticker prices trimmed:
|
Dzire Variant |
Old Price (Ex-showroom) |
New Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
|
TOUR S CNG 1.2L 5MT |
₹7,77,001 |
₹7,10,745 |
|
VXI CNG 1.2L 5MT |
₹8,79,000 |
₹8,04,047 |
|
ZXI CNG 1.2L 5MT |

₹9,04,667 |
I ran into a friend last Tuesday, he’d just put down a booking for a Dzire CNG, and (not gonna lie) the look on his face when I told him the price was about to drop was priceless. Don’t worry, he got the revised quote in the end. Sometimes good timing is all luck.
Why Have Prices Been Reduced for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire?
To answer straight: it’s because the government got serious about making small cars more affordable again. Until this GST cut, compact sedans like Dzire were lugging around a tax burden—28% GST plus a cess—making ex-showroom prices harder to swallow. With GST 2.0 now in place, that’s dropped to just 18%. That’s not a rounding error; it’s an 11% lower tax bill being passed on directly to drivers.
Here’s a super-simple breakdown my cousin actually texted to our family group:
-
Old Tax: 28% GST + 1% Cess = 29%
-
New Tax: 18% GST, no cess.
-
Net Difference: 11% lower tax.
-
Maximum saved: Up to ₹86,000 (depending on variant).
Honestly, how often do you see the government and car buyers both happy on the same day?
When Are the New Rates Applicable?
The magic date is September 22, 2025. If you’re buying or even just taking delivery of your Maruti Suzuki Dzire after this date, you’ll enjoy the new lower ex-showroom prices. Even if you already booked a car before but haven’t gotten your keys yet, lean on your dealer for the revised invoice. (Trust me, those WhatsApp forwards about “last dates” and “limited period” are real for once.)
