🧾 Why Alto & Every Prices Rose Sharply

The most notable aspect of this revision is the significantly higher increase for Alto and Every, especially when compared to other Suzuki vehicles like the Swift and Cultus.

➤ Key Reasons:

1. Increased GST on Small Engines (≤850cc):

   • The Federal Budget 2025–26 raised GST from 12.5% to 18% for passenger cars with engine capacities of 850cc or lower.

   • Suzuki Alto and Every both fall within this category and are now subject to this 5.5% additional GST.

2. Introduction of the NEV Levy:

   • All vehicles, regardless of engine size, are now subject to a 1% New Energy Vehicles (NEV) Adoption Levy.

   • However, Alto and Every face both taxes simultaneously, amplifying their price increases.

➤ Comparison Snapshot:

Model	Variant	Price Increase	Comparison
Swift	Top Variant	Rs. 47,190	—
Alto	Top Variant	Rs. 186,446	~4x higher
Every	Top Variant	Rs. 166,200	~3.5x higher

This tax policy has clearly hit entry-level consumers the hardest — particularly those considering compact and fuel-efficient options like the Alto.

🚗 Why Ravi, Cultus, and Swift Saw Smaller Hikes

• Suzuki Ravi (800cc) is a commercial vehicle and was already taxed at 18% GST, so the only change affecting it was the 1% NEV levy — resulting in a minimal price increase.

• Cultus and Swift exceed the 850cc threshold and are only affected by the NEV levy, avoiding the added GST impact that hit Alto and Every.

🏁 Conclusion: Tax Policy Shakes Up Entry-Level Market

Pak Suzuki’s latest price hike is a direct response to fiscal and regulatory changes under the 2025–26 budget. While the NEV levy impacts all cars, the additional GST increase for small-engine vehicles disproportionately affects budget-conscious consumers — potentially reshaping buyer preferences in the compact car segment.

Dealerships across the country have been officially notified, and the revised prices are now in effect.
