Handy guide on Mahindra car prices after GST rate revision

 
 

The Indian auto industry has entered a new chapter with the rollout of GST 2.0. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this change is Mahindra, a brand well known for its rugged SUVs, powerful performance, and value-for-money vehicles. The revision has brought down tax rates on small cars, sedans, and even large SUVs, making Mahindra car prices after GST rate revision more affordable than before.


As one of India’s most trusted homegrown automakers, Mahindra has built its reputation with iconic models like the Bolero, Scorpio, Thar, and the feature-rich XUV lineup. Popular among both urban families and adventure enthusiasts, Mahindra cars are designed to combine strength, comfort, and advanced technology. With GST 2.0 benefits, these SUVs are now available at even more competitive prices.


For buyers, this means lower ex-showroom prices and the chance to opt for higher variants within the same budget. Hatchbacks and compact SUVs like the XUV3XO now benefit from 18% GST, while larger SUVs such as the Scorpio-N, XUV700, and Thar are taxed at a flat 40%, compared to the earlier 48–50%.


Pairing these savings with smart financing options makes ownership easier. The Bajaj Finserv New Car Loan offers up to 100% financing on the on-road price, competitive interest rates, extended repayment tenures, and flexible EMI options. It requires minimal paperwork and ensures quick disbursals, giving you a seamless buying experience.
