The Maruti WagonR, one of India’s most trusted family hatchbacks, has received a major GST-driven price revision, making it significantly more affordable for buyers. With the updated tentative rate list for September 22, Maruti Suzuki has applied a uniform price cut of around 8.5% across all variants of the WagonR, including petrol, AMT, and CNG models.
This move is expected to make the WagonR even more appealing for budget-conscious Indian families, first-time car buyers, and those looking for a reliable second car.
Let’s dive into the variant-wise price comparison between the old rates and the new GST-adjusted prices.
1.0L Petrol – Manual Variants
The entry-level 1.0-litre petrol models of the WagonR see a price drop of over ₹49,000 to ₹53,000, making them far more attractive.

| VXI | ₹6,23,500 | -₹53,100 | ₹5,70,400 | -8.52% |
With the LXI variant now under ₹5.3 lakh, the WagonR becomes one of the most affordable tall-boy hatchbacks in India.
1.2L Petrol – Manual Variants
The larger 1.2-litre petrol engine trims also receive hefty price reductions of around ₹55,000 to ₹60,000.
| Variant | Current Price | Difference | New Price | % Change |

| Variant | Current Price | Difference | New Price | % Change |
| VXI | ₹6,73,500 | -₹57,400 | ₹6,16,100 | -8.52% |
With this, the WagonR AMT is now much more competitive against other entry-level automatic hatchbacks in India.

With petrol prices rising, the WagonR CNG variants remain a pocket-friendly long-term choice for Indian families, cab operators, and daily commuters.
What This Means for Buyers
With this uniform 8.5% price reduction, the Maruti WagonR becomes even more accessible without compromising on features or practicality. The new rates put the WagonR in an even stronger position against rivals like the Hyundai Santro (discontinued), Tata Tiago, and Renault Kwid.
The move is also expected to boost sales in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where affordability and mileage remain the top priorities.
Conclusion
The Maruti WagonR New GST Rate List is excellent news for Indian buyers. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly petrol car, a convenient AMT hatchback, or a high-mileage CNG commuter, the WagonR’s revised prices make it one of the best value-for-money cars in its segment.
