Maruti Suzuki Cars To Get More Expensive From January 2025

Maruti Suzuki, India's largest car maker, has jumped on the bandwagon with Hyundai Motor to increase the prices of the vehicles from January 2025. This comes as a yearly practice by the automaker in view of the rising input and operations costs. As per the announcement, the Indian manufacturer will increase the prices of its vehicles by up to 4 per cent, depending on the model.

"While the company continuously strives to optimise costs and minimise the impact on its customers, some portion of the increased cost may need to be passed on to the market," Maruti Suzuki said in its statement.

Meanwhile, the premium Nexa outlets of the brand have models like Ignis, Baleno, Fronx, Ciaz, XL6, Jimny, and Invicto on sale in the country.

The brand has models like Creta, Venue, Grand i10 NIOS, Verna, and others on sale in the country.

Along with this, luxury automakers like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have also announced price hikes for their models. The hike by the brand has been attributed to increased input and operation costs.
