Car Price Hikes in 2025: What Maruti, Hyundai, Tata & Others Are Raising and How It Affects Buyers
30 Dec 2024
4 min read
Several car manufacturers in India would now be increasing the prices of vehicles starting from January, provided you would want to buy one in the year 2025. Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Mahindra, MG Motor, as well as luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, have all made these announcements. Let's get into the details of knowing the announcement about preservation and why it is done along with the impact it would have on car buyers.
Key Details About the Price Hike
- Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki India's biggest manufacturer of cars will raise prices on all its models, up to 4 percent, with effect from January 2025. In a way, the increase is meant to absorb the inflation, fuel rising costs of inputs, and difficult operating conditions. This price increase will also affect service reports as a result of increased costs of maintaining and servicing vehicles. - Hyundai
Hyundai plans to increase the price of its models in the 2025 lineup between about ₹25,000. This increase is because of ongoing input cost hikes along with logistics. Hyundai vehicles, which keep up their reputation for reliability, will still have to undergo the regular vehicle history necessary to keep them up to peak performance even after these price changes. - Tata Motors
Tata Motors, which is known for Nexon and Harrier cars, has announced price increases on all Tata passenger cars. The reason for this has been production costs rising by the day and inflation. Consumers might consider getting familiar with service reports and looking at models with lower maintenance costs to keep their future expenses down. - Mahindra & Mahindra
Mahindra's SUVs will be costlier by 3% max. Such price changes are mostly attributed by inflation and aggressive commodity price increase. In this case, part costs have been absorbed by Mahindra; however, increased costs for cars can make their way to future expenses related to service for buyers. - MG Motor
Prices will increase in MG's range by 3% to 4% for all top-selling models like Hector and Gloster in the country's market. The increase accounts for challenges on logistics and production costs. This is the time when the consumer should check well into service history before adding his for a vehicle purchase. - Luxury Brands
Mercedes-Benz and BMW will hike prices by up to 3%. For example, Mercedes-Benz claiming to increase between ₹2 lakh and ₹9 lakh on models like GLC and Maybach S 680. Buyers of luxury vehicles are encouraged to pre-book their vehicles or sign up for a service contract, which gives predictability in cost.

Reasons for the Price Hike
Here is what the automakers have said for hiking their prices:
- Input Prices: Escalation in prices of inputs, such as raw material steel and aluminum.
- Logistics: The increasing cost of transport due to disturbance in the world supply chain.
- Changes in Value of Currency: Adverse currency exchange rate movements affecting parts imported.
- Inflation: Inflation in general increases the cost of operations and production.
These issues have put considerable pressure into the manufacturers, thus making even unavoidable price corrections.
How This Affects Car Buyers
- Higher Upfront Fees
There will be higher initial costs, of course. For prospective buyers looking to acquire a new car soon, it would be best to make the purchase prior to January of 2025 to enjoy 2024 prices. - Increased Costs for Maintenance
As the hike in prices occurs, it is usually found that increases occur in vehicle service and maintenance costs in the future. - Finance Effects
Higher rates could raise down payments and monthly EMI, thereby causing ownership to be a bit more expensive.

Tips for Potential Buyers
- Book Early
Finalizing your buying decision before December 2024 is an excellent way to escape the soon-to-happen price hikes. - Compare Service Reports
Before selecting a model, check out the service reports, identifying vehicles with lower maintenance needs, so that maintenance costs are saved. - Consider Pre-Owned Cars
Consider certified pre-owned vehicles as alternatives to reduce the impact of price increases on new vehicle purchases. - Search for Year-End Discounts
At the end of the year, most automakers offer spectacular discounts and promotions.
Conclusion
The price rises, which will be effective in January 2025, then underscore the necessity of making strategic decisions within the car-buying space-from inexpensive hatchbacks of Maruti Suzuki to well-loaded SUVs by Hyundai to luxury offerings from Mercedes-Benz-all the while making the car buyer act today. They are also regular check challan and none will have pending fines since both will ensure smooth ownership in the long run.
Also well-planned for your purchase and taking advantage of the offers before the end of the year can help you navigate through the price hikes in a good way.
