Maruti Suzuki Price Hike August 2026: Full Model-Wise List

Q: How much have Maruti Suzuki prices increased in August 2026?

By up to Rs 30,000, depending on the model and variant. The Baleno sees the steepest hike at up to Rs 30,000, while entry-level models like the Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio and WagonR go up by a smaller Rs 2,500.

Q: Why did Maruti Suzuki increase prices again?

Maruti cited sustained increases in input and commodity costs, saying it had absorbed cost pressure through internal efficiency measures for as long as possible before passing on a portion of the burden to customers.

Q: Is this the only price hike by Maruti Suzuki in 2026?

No. This is Maruti's second portfolio-wide hike in a short period, following a similar increase of up to Rs 30,000 in June 2026, making it the automaker's third price revision of the year.

Q: Should I book my Maruti car before the price hike?

If you've already finalised your variant, booking before the revised prices kick in locks in the older, lower price. But don't let the hike alone rush a decision — Rs 2,500 to Rs 30,000 is a small fraction of the on-road price, and dealer discounts can easily offset it.

Maruti Suzuki is raising prices across its passenger vehicle line-up by up to ₹30,000, effective from August 2026 — the company's third price revision of the year, after similar hikes earlier in 2026. The increase was disclosed through an exchange filing dated 21 July 2026 and covers virtually the entire portfolio, though the amount varies sharply by model.

Why is Maruti Suzuki increasing prices again?

Maruti has attributed the hike to persistent commodity inflation and rising input costs. In its filing, the company said it had tried to absorb the additional cost through internal efficiency measures, but sustained pressure on operating margins made it necessary to "pass a fraction of the cost burden on to the market." In plain terms: raw materials, logistics and component costs have kept climbing, and Maruti is no longer fully cushioning buyers from that.

This is not a one-off. Maruti had already raised prices by a similar amount in June 2026, making August the second portfolio-wide hike in barely three months — and the third such revision since the start of the year.

Model-wise price increase (August 2026)

The hike isn't uniform — premium and recently launched models absorb the biggest increase, while Maruti's cheapest cars go up by the least. Here's the reported model-wise breakdown:

Model	Price increase (up to)
Baleno	₹30,000
e Vitara	₹20,000
Jimny	₹15,000
Victoris	₹10,000
Invicto	₹10,000
Fronx	₹7,500
XL6	₹7,500
Ertiga	₹7,500
Dzire	₹7,000
Tour S	₹7,000
Swift, Brezza, Grand Vitara, Eeco	₹5,000
Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR	₹2,500

These are ceiling figures reported ahead of the revision — the exact change depends on the specific variant and fuel option, and dealers may still apply their own discounts and offers on top.

What this means if you're buying a Maruti this month

It's a small slice of the on-road price. Even the steepest increase, ₹30,000 on a Baleno, is roughly 2-3% of its ex-showroom price — noticeable, but rarely a reason to buy a car you haven't otherwise decided on.
If you've already picked your variant, booking early locks in the pre-hike price on most bookings placed before the revision date, subject to your dealer's policy.
Entry-level buyers are least affected. The Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio and WagonR see the smallest bump, at ₹2,500.
Discounts can offset it anyway. Festive-season offers later in the year have historically outweighed hikes of this size on slower-moving variants.

The bigger pattern: three hikes in one year

Three separate price revisions in 2026 signal that input-cost pressure on Indian carmakers hasn't eased, and Maruti — as the segment's largest volume seller — is often the first to move. Rival brands typically follow within weeks of a Maruti hike, so expect similar, smaller adjustments from other manufacturers through the rest of the year if commodity costs stay elevated.
