Hyundai Motor India has declared new prices for all variants of the Creta, one of the most popular SUVs in the country. Due to GST 2.0, which goes into effect on September 22, 2025, customers will now have the opportunity to save nearly ₹70,000 when purchasing a Creta. This adjustment will bring direct savings to consumers.
Revised Tax Regulations for Smaller Vehicles
Under the updated GST structure, smaller petrol and petrol hybrid cars are now subject to an 18 percent tax rate. This change also applies to CNG and LPG cars, contingent on an engine capacity not exceeding 1200cc and a vehicle length of less than 4 meters. In addition, the tax on diesel and hybrid cars has been reduced from 28 percent to 18 percent; however, this relief is available to vehicles with a 1500cc or smaller engine and a length of 4 meters or less.
Luxury and Larger Car Tax Reforms
The government has set the tax rate for SUVs and larger vehicles at 40 percent. This is a reduction from the previous rates, which included 28 percent GST and a 22 percent cess, leading to a total tax burden of 50 percent. The new policy offers a 10 percent benefit.
Creta’s Specific Implications
The Creta SUV occupies the mid-size and premium segments. The previous tax rate of 50% has been adjusted to 40%. This change will benefit customers directly. Hyundai has released the new variant-wise prices. On average, each model sees savings of approximately ₹70,000.
