Car Prices to Increase from April 2025: Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and More
Automakers Announce Price Hikes Across Lineups
Starting April 2025, several leading car manufacturers in India will implement price hikes across their entire range. Rising input costs, escalating commodity prices, and increased operational expenses have led brands like Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and Renault to revise their pricing structures. Customers looking to buy a new vehicle may need to act fast before these revisions take effect.
Hyundai to Increase Prices by Up to 3%
Hyundai has confirmed that it will raise prices by up to 3% across its model lineup. This adjustment is attributed to rising production costs and supply chain challenges. According to Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the hike will vary based on the model and variant. The company has assured customers that it continues to absorb a portion of the increased costs to minimize the impact.
Maruti Suzuki’s Third Price Hike in 2025
Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest car manufacturer, will implement its third price hike of the year. After previous increases in January and February, the automaker has now confirmed another revision, with prices set to go up by up to 4% in April. The exact model-wise adjustments are yet to be announced, but this move aligns with the broader industry trend of rising vehicle costs.
Tata Motors to Revise Prices Across Its Passenger and Commercial Vehicles
Tata Motors has also joined the list of manufacturers adjusting prices. The company will raise prices across its passenger and commercial vehicle range, with the hike varying depending on the model and variant. While the exact percentage has not been disclosed, the increase is driven by rising raw material costs and higher operational expenses.
Renault, Kia, and Honda Also Announce Price Adjustments
Renault India has announced a price hike of up to 2% across its model lineup, including the Kwid, Kiger, and Triber. Similarly, Kia India will increase prices by up to 3%, aligning with Hyundai’s revision. Honda Cars India has confirmed that models like the Amaze, City, and Elevate will also see price adjustments starting next month.
Luxury Brands May Follow Suit
Mercedes-Benz India is also considering a price revision in April, depending on currency fluctuations. The luxury car manufacturer has hinted that a weakening rupee against the euro may result in another increase, following the one implemented in January.
What This Means for Buyers
With multiple automakers revising their prices, consumers planning to buy a car may want to finalize their purchases before April 1, 2025, to avoid paying higher rates. While brands are working to absorb costs where possible, the overall industry trend suggests continued price escalations due to external economic factors.
Conclusion
The upcoming price hikes from Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Renault, and other major players reflect the ongoing cost pressures in the automotive industry. As manufacturers navigate rising expenses, prospective buyers should stay informed and make timely decisions to get the best deal before the new prices come into effect.
