Maruti Suzuki India Ltd will raise car prices by up to ₹62,000 from April 8, 2025, as the Japanese carmaker looks to pass on some of the increase in input costs to customers.

Mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) Grand Vitara will see the biggest price hike of ₹62,000 followed by Eeco with ₹22,500 hike. WagonR, which became India’s top-selling car in the financial year 2024-25, will see a price hike of ₹14,000.

Maruti Suzuki’s popular multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) Ertiga and XL6 will each see a price increase of ₹12,500. Dzire Tour S, sold to fleet operators, will see a price jump of ₹3000. Compact SUV Fronx will see its price go up by ₹2,500.

“Due to rising input costs, operational expenses, regulatory changes and feature additions, the Company has planned to increase car prices starting on 8 April, 2025. While the Company is committed to optimise costs and reduce the impact on its customers, the Company is constrained to pass on some of the increased expenses to the market,” India’s largest carmaker said in a statement.

Maruti Suzuki today announced WagonR as India’s highest selling car in FY25, with 1,98,451 units sold during the year. With 33.7 lakh customers, the Maruti Suzuki WagonR also holds onto its crown as India’s highest-selling car for 4 years in a row. The WagonR hatchback continued its reign as India’s best-selling car despite shifting customer preference towards SUVs.

“WagonR’s sustained leadership in the Indian automotive market underscores strong customer trust and an unmatched value proposition over 25 years. Our focus on innovation and customer-centricity has ensured that the WagonR remains a top choice for Indian families. In fact, 1 in every 4 WagonR customers returns to repurchase India’s highest-selling car, a reflection of its widespread appeal and the confidence our customers place in the brand,” said Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India.

“Hatchbacks are an integral pillar of India's automobile industry. The WagonR's consistent leadership, securing its position as the highest-selling vehicle for four consecutive years, underscores the significance of this segment in driving long-term industry growth. Looking ahead, this segment will continue to be a cornerstone in spreading the joy of mobility to every Indian household,” added Banerjee.

“With a wide range of powertrain and variant options, the WagonR continues to offer a unique appeal in its segment,” the carmaker said.
