Other widely favored models such as the Brezza, Fronx, Swift, and Ertiga will see an increase of up to Rs 20,000, making them slightly more expensive for prospective buyers.
Among the most significant hikes, the Maruti Celerio will bear the largest increase, with prices rising by up to Rs 32,500 based on the variant. Close behind is the Invicto, which will see an increase of up to Rs 30,000.
Reasons Behind the Price Hike
Maruti Suzuki attributes this latest price revision to the rising costs of raw materials, manufacturing expenses, and overall operational costs. As inflation and supply chain challenges persist, the company aims to offset these pressures through price adjustments.
What This Means for Buyers
With the upcoming price hike, customers planning to purchase a Maruti Suzuki vehicle may consider advancing their buying decisions to avoid the additional costs. Dealers are expected to see a surge in bookings before the revised prices take effect on February 1, 2025.
The price revision by Maruti Suzuki underscores the growing financial pressures faced by the automobile industry. While the hike might impact affordability, the brand remains committed to offering reliable and value-for-money vehicles in the Indian market. Potential buyers are encouraged to take advantage of the current prices before the increases take effect.
