Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Wagon-R, Ertiga and others receive a price hike of up to ₹62,000: Check new prices

Homegrown automobile giant Maruti Suzuki has announced a fresh round of price hikes for some of its popular cars in India. The automaker revealed on Wednesday that it will increase the prices of Grand Vitara, Wagon-R, Ertiga, and some other cars starting from 8 April 2025.

In a regulatory filing, the automaker stated that the price hike is due to unavoidable rising input costs, operational expenses, regulatory changes, and feature additions.

“The Company has planned to increase car prices starting on 8th April, 2025. While the Company is committed to optimising costs and reducing the impact on its customers, the company is constrained to pass on some of the increased expenses to the market,” said Maruti Suzuki in an official statement.

Notably, the increase in ex-showroom prices varies by model, with the Grand Vitara witnessing the steepest rise of up to ₹62,000.

According to the company's latest update, the Eeco will see an increase of up to ₹22,500, while the popular Wagon-R will cost up to ₹14,000 more. The Ertiga and XL6 will each see a price jump of up to ₹12,500.

For budget-conscious buyers, the hike is relatively lower for the Dzire Tour S and Fronx, with price increases capped at ₹3,000 and ₹2,500, respectively.

It is noteworthy that Maruti Suzuki has increased the prices of its vehicles for the third time this year, following the January and February price hikes.
