    The new GST regime came into effect from July 1 in the country bringing a single tax policy on goods and services across the country. This led to the reduction in taxes across several segment of cars, with luxury vehicles and SUVs benefitting the most. However, the government was of the opinion that the cess should be increased on larger vehicles, and has been brought into effect from September 11. The new GST rate on mid-size cars will be 45 per cent, while on large cars it will be 48 per cent. The GST rate on SUVs will be 50 per cent and will include vehicles exceeding the 4 metre mark and a ground clearance of 170 mm.

    Apart from Honda, Toyota India also announced a price hike earlier this month ranging between Rs. 13,000 and Rs. 1.6 lakh. Barring the Etios hatchback, Toyota's vehicles including the Etios sedan, Innova Crysta, Corolla Altis and Fortuner have seen a price increase.
