Five diesel compact SUVs in India have received significant price reductions following GST 2.0. Let's find out how much savings you'll get on the Kia Syros, Kia Sonet, Mahindra 3XO, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra Thar.

The new GST 2.0 has brought significant relief to customers in the Indian car market. This tax cut has made compact diesel SUVs more affordable than ever. Popular models from companies like Kia, Tata, and Mahindra are now available for up to a lakh of rupees less. This could prove to be a great opportunity for customers dreaming of purchasing an SUV.
Biggest Discount on Kia Syros
- The Kia Syros has become the most discounted car in the diesel compact SUV segment. Its HTX+ (O) AT variant has received a price cut of up to ₹1.86 lakh. With this discount, the Syros now offers a more affordable price, offering a premium feel and a powerful engine. However, sales have been slow since its launch, and this discount could help it gain a foothold in the market.
Kia Sonet becomes cheaper by up to Rs 1.64 lakh.
- The Kia Sonet has always been a favorite for its style and features. Now, the price of its GTX Plus AT diesel variant has been reduced by up to ₹1.64 lakh, making the Sonet an even better and more affordable option in the sub-4 meter SUV segment.

- The Mahindra XUV 3XO's AX7L diesel variant has also received a significant price cut. This SUV, along with its robust design and performance, has become even more affordable. With savings of up to ₹1.56 lakh, this car could appeal to more customers and strengthen its position in the segment.
Up to ₹1.55 lakh discount on Tata Nexon
- India's best-selling compact SUV, the Tata Nexon, has now become more affordable. The price of its Fearless Plus PS DK variant has been reduced by up to ₹1.55 lakh. The Nexon is already known for its safety and features, and the lower price could make it even more sought-after in the market.
Mahindra Thar also gets cheaper by up to Rs 1.35 lakh.
- The Mahindra Thar, a favorite of off-road enthusiasts, is now more accessible. Its LX 2WD diesel variant has received a price reduction of up to ₹1.35 lakh. This discount makes the Thar an even better choice for those seeking adventure and a strong road presence.
