Top Compact SUVs in India With the Biggest GST 2.0 Price Cuts

The rollout of GST 2.0 has brought a major relief to new car buyers, especially in India’s hottest segment — compact SUVs under 4 metres. With the revised tax slabs, almost every popular model from Hyundai, Kia, Tata, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Nissan, Renault and Skoda has seen a price cut ranging from ₹50,000 to over ₹1.5 lakh.

At Carbae, we’ve compiled the top compact SUVs that got the biggest GST 2.0 price cuts, along with variant-wise examples to show exactly how much you can save.

1. Mahindra XUV 3XO – Up to ₹1.56 lakh cut

The Mahindra XUV 3XO benefits the most under GST 2.0, especially its diesel variants.

• Diesel models see a reduction of over ₹1.5 lakh (10.4%).

  For buyers, this makes the XUV 3XO one of the biggest winners of GST 2.0.

• Petrol models: ₹68,000–₹1.27 lakh cuts (8.5%).
• Diesel models: ₹99,000–₹1.56 lakh cuts (9.9%).
