The Maruti Suzuki S Presso compact hatchback, a well-liked small car in India, has become less expensive due to the large change to Goods and Services Tax (GST) in September 2025. The change in taxation has had a clear effect on pricing of the car where GST was reduced from 28% plus cess at a slab to an 18% GST slab exempt of cess on small petrol cars rated under 1200cc, as does the S Presso. This is significant change as ex-showroom prices of the car was reduced and gives buyers something to consider if they are looking for a small car in the budget category option.
Maruti Suzuki S Presso New Price After GST Price Cut
Following the GST change on September 22, 2025, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso saw a welcome reduction in prices. Previously, the petrol versions of the S-Presso were taxed at a 28% GST rate plus a cess, but with the updated GST, the petrol variants are taxed at an 18% GST rate with no cess. This adjustment enables customers to save an amount even greater than before, totaling discounts of up to ₹1,29,600 for some trims, and especially on the CNG in particular. Even the entry petrol level prices of the S-Presso have decreased sufficiently enough to make it an even more accessible and affordable city car option. This adjusted price also means there is a much greater opportunity of being able to own a small car like the S-Presso.
