If you are considering the purchase of Maruti Suzuki auto this month, you might have to pay upwards of what you were before. Maruti Suzuki has recently changed the prices of the vehicles across the range in August 2026, leading the hike by an amount of ₹30,000, depending on the variant and model. This hike is the new version of the recent June hike, bringing the carmaker’s price increase count up to two in just a few months. The cost of inputs is continuing to rise and that is registered in the high inflation, Maruti Suzuki claims in its reasoning.
Baleno Gets the Biggest Price Hike
The most important item of discussion in the new price hike by Maruti Suzuki is the Baleno which is the largest of them all. Its Alpha variants are now costlier by up to ₹30,000, Zeta variants are enjoying ₹15,000 hike, while the Delta variants are enjoying a ₹7,500 hike. The only Sigma version not affected is the petrol-manual version.
After the revision, the Baleno is priced from around ₹5.99 lakh to ₹9.47 lakh (ex-showroom). The maximum increase of ₹30,000 also makes the Baleno the model with the highest percentage impact in this latest revision, at up to 3.46% for the affected variant.
Swift and Dzire Also Become Costlier
The much-talked-about Maruti Suzuki Swift, now costs an additional ₹5,000 more in each variant. Its revised price starts at around ₹5.84 lakh and goes up to ₹8.74 lakh, according to the latest variant-wise data.
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been cost upwards by an additional ₹7,500, the most with the new 1.2-litre CNG manual. This may slightly impact those buyers who desire fuel efficiency for their family sedan, especially the CNG versions.
Fronx and Brezza Price Revision
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx attracts a maximum of ₹7,500 increase in price. This 1.2-litre CNG Delta variant gets the highest price increment, with most other 1.2-litre petrol variants getting up to a ₹5,000 hike in prices. What is interesting is that the 1.0 litre turbo-petrols and Sigma 1.2-litre petrol-manuals remain unchanged. The updated price of Fronx ranges between ₹6.85 to ₹11.84 lakhs ex-showroom.
In the case of the Brezza it’s relatively minor. Price of CNG-manual variants such as LXI and ZXI is getting increased by Rs 5000 while the petrol variants and VXI CNG remain unchanged. The revised price of Brezza begins from ₹7.40 lakh onwards and climbs to the maximum of ₹13.55 lakh.
Ertiga, XL6 and Grand Vitara
The popular family MPV line of Maruti is also brought into change. The Ertiga gets a maximum addition of ₹7,500, with the 1.5-litre CNG versions getting the biggest price increase. The latest price in the range of this model is from ₹ 8.90 Lakh to ₹ 13.04 Lakh.
The premium XL6 is getting a range expansion of up to ₹7,500, and the Grand Vitara is getting relatively lesser price hike among all other variants, which is a mere ₹5,000 or less. CNG and some petrol variants are unchanged.
Victoris Gets a Smaller Hike
The recently introduced Maruti Suzuki Victoris range too has been tweaked in price. The price hike has been capped at ₹10,000, the VXI and ZXI 1.5-litre CNG variants seeing the highest price hikes.
The other variants are affected by a hike of ₹5,000 in most of them whereas some petrol and hybrid variants see no change. The price of the Victoris is now from ₹10.50 lakh to ₹19.99 lakh ex-showroom.
Entry-Level Maruti Cars See Smaller Increase
For budget-conscious buyers, the good news is that the increase is relatively limited on some entry-level Arena models. The Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio and WagonR have received price increases of up to ₹2,500. This means the impact is considerably smaller compared with the Baleno’s ₹30,000 maximum hike.
What is the reason for the auto company Maruti Suzuki to raise prices?
Continuous increases in input costs were cited as the prime reason for the latest hike in Maruti Suzuki’s price. The company has been trying to offset some of the extra manufacturing costs via cost reduction measures but this rapidly accelerating inflationary pressure combined with the harsh cost environment means that it has to shift some of the cost on to customers.
This is not the first price revision from Maruti Suzuki this year. The company had already implemented another increase in June, making the August revision particularly important for buyers who are planning a purchase.
Is it advisable to purchase a Maruti Vehicle these days?
It would be logical to compare the latest ex showroom price, dealer discount and onroad quotation before booking, if you have already decided on which Maruti Suzuki model and variant you want to buy. Not all the variants have the current increased rise, and there are certain variants that are not affected by the current increase.
During the transaction, when the buyer is okay with variants, checking previous versions without affected changes might minimise the effect of the most recent variant. The final offer depends on the model, dealership and offers, however discounts and stock change from dealership to dealership.
