In the example of Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, the country\u2019s leading SUV manufacturer, the step has led to steep pricing discounts on its entire ICE SUV line-up. Customers can now avail up to \u20b91.56 lakh off such top-selling vehicles as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-xuv-3xo-cars\/s\/\">XUV3XO<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-thar-cars\/s\/\">Thar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-scorpio-n-cars\/s\/\">Scorpio-N<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-xuv700-cars\/s\/\">XUV700<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0The new tax regime comes into effect after the meeting of the 56th GST council held on September 3, 2025. It sets the record straight regarding the historical injustices meted out under the earlier GST regime, wherein SUVs were taxed at very high rates of up to 50% (inclusive of cess). GST 2.0 taxes only 40% for the larger-sized SUVs, and sub-4 metre petrol and diesel SUVs get deeper cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#gst-impact-on-mahindra-cars-up-to-1200-cc-and-up-to-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Mahindra Cars up to 1200cc and up to 4000mm<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#price-changes-for-mahindra-small-su-vs-indicative-ranges-ex-showroom\">Price Changes for Mahindra Small SUVs \u2014 Indicative Ranges (Ex-showroom)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#gst-impact-on-mahindra-cars-with-more-than-1200-cc-and-more-than-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Mahindra Cars with more than 1200cc and more than 4000mm<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#price-changes-for-mahindra-larger-su-vs\">Price Changes for Mahindra Larger SUVs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#summary-how-has-the-gst-update-affected-mahindra-cars\">Summary: How has the GST update affected Mahindra cars<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#fa-qs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gst-impact-on-mahindra-cars-up-to-1200-cc-and-up-to-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Mahindra Cars up to 1200cc and up to 4000mm<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It is also where GST 2.0 makes the greatest impact for Mahindra vehicles. Previously taxed between 29\u201331%, sub-4m SUVs now fall to an 18% slab with a double-digit tax advantage. For sub-4m SUVs ranging from the XUV3XO to even the Bolero Neo, it translates into a historic reduction of up to \u20b91.56 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The XUV3XO Diesel is also GST 2.0&#8217;s overall biggest beneficiary, and the perennial semi-urban and rural India favourite Bolero Neo becomes even more attractive with over \u20b91.27 lakh worth of savings. For such families and young professionals in need of an economically competitive SUV solution, this transition makes smaller cars from Mahindra more competitive than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price-changes-for-mahindra-small-su-vs-indicative-ranges-ex-showroom\"><strong>Price Changes for Mahindra Small SUVs \u2014 Indicative Ranges (Ex-showroom)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Car \/ Variant<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price Before GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price After GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difference<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bolero Neo<\/td><td>\u20b911,55,000 \u2013 \u20b911,70,000<\/td><td>\u20b910,20,000 \u2013\u20b910,35,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,20,000 \u2013\u20b91,50,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XUV3XO (Petrol)<\/td><td>\u20b912,60,000 \u2013\u20b912,80,000<\/td><td>\u20b911,20,000 \u2013 \u20b911,35,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,30,000 \u2013\u20b91,60,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XUV3XO (Diesel)<\/td><td>\u20b913,85,000 \u2013\u20b914,05,000<\/td><td>\u20b912,25,000\u2013\u20b912,40,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,45,000 \u2013\u20b91,80,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thar 2WD (Diesel)<\/td><td>\u20b912,25,000 \u2013\u20b912,45,000<\/td><td>\u20b910,90,000 \u2013 \u20b911,00,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,25,000 \u2013\u20b91,55,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mahindra, this segment is where <strong>GST 2.0<\/strong> has levelled the playing field.

With GST 2.0 shaving off a neat 40% flat, customers who purchase big SUVs like Scorpio-N, Thar Roxx, and XUV700 now save over a lakh. Even though this reduction is a smaller percentage than that witnessed by sub-4m SUVs, the absolute savings again have a huge psychological impact among high-end customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Scorpio-N and XUV700, among Mahindra\u2019s most premium SUVs, now come with discounts of \u20b91.43\u2013\u20b91.45 lakh, bringing them into a close fight with their competitors like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Toyota Fortuner. Even their new Thar Roxx offers discounts across various models, with its top variant, the AX7 L, having a reduction of \u20b91.33 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price-changes-for-mahindra-larger-su-vs\">Price Changes for Mahindra Larger SUVs<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Car \/ Variant<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price Before GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price After GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difference<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thar 4WD (Diesel)<\/td><td>\u20b915,90,000 \u2013\u20b916,30,000<\/td><td>\u20b914,95,000\u2013\u20b915,20,000<\/td><td>\u20b995,000 \u2013 \u20b91,10,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scorpio Classic<\/td><td>\u20b915,70,000 \u2013\u20b916,00,000<\/td><td>\u20b914,70,000 \u2013 \u20b914,95,000<\/td><td>\u20b995,000 \u2013 \u20b91,10,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scorpio-N<\/td><td>\u20b921,20,000 \u2013\u20b921,80,000<\/td><td>\u20b919,80,000 \u2013 \u20b920,25,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,35,000\u2013\u20b91,55,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thar Roxx (5-door)<\/td><td>\u20b918,40,000 \u2013\u20b918,80,000<\/td><td>\u20b917,10,000 \u2013 \u20b917,45,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,25,000\u2013\u20b91,40,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XUV700<\/td><td>\u20b923,60,000 \u2013\u20b924,10,000<\/td><td>\u20b922,15,000 \u2013 \u20b922,60,000<\/td><td>\u20b91,35,000\u2013\u20b91,55,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These discounts make Mahindra&#8217;s large SUVs high-value propositions.

Sub-4m models like XUV3XO and Bolero Neo save the maximum percentage with up to \u20b91.56 lakh, while higher-end SUVs like Scorpio-N, Thar Roxx, and XUV700 avail discounts above \u20b91 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;For Mahindra, whose entire portfolio is almost SUV-led, this reform couldn\u2019t have come at a better time. Passing on the complete tax benefit to customers is an initiative that has strengthened the brand\u2019s image as India\u2019s SUV specialist and has also directly provided customers with relief. Implications will be a boost in demand among both rural customers and metropolitan customers\u2014Bolero Neo among smaller townsfolk and high-end SUVs such as Scorpio-N and XUV700 among metropolitan customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Overall, GST 2.0 swings the Indian auto sector into Mahindra\u2019s favour. It does not merely bring entry-level SUVs within easier reach for initial SUV customers but also puts aspirational SUVs within even easier reach. In the months to come, Mahindra will be able to witness increased volumes, improved market share, and regained domination within India\u2019s SUV sector.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \"><strong>Q.
