Pakistani car buyers are feeling the pinch as the 2025–26 federal budget introduces new tax measures that have led to a sharp increase in Suzuki vehicle prices. The government’s decision to raise the General Sales Tax (GST) on small-engine cars and impose a 1% Green Tax on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is part of a broader fiscal strategy aimed at boosting revenue and promoting eco-friendly alternatives.
Under the revised tax structure, GST on vehicles with engine capacities up to 850cc has surged from 12.5% to 18%. Additionally, a 1% Green Tax now applies to all ICE-powered vehicles, whether locally assembled or imported. These taxes have resulted in notable price hikes across all popular Suzuki models.
Here’s a summary of the new Suzuki car prices after tax revisions:
Model | New Price (incl. 18% GST) | 1% Green Tax | Final Price |
---|---|---|---|
Alto VX | PKR 2,445,240 | PKR 24,452 | PKR 2,469,692 |
Alto VXR Upgraded | PKR 2,965,209 | PKR 29,652 | PKR 2,994,861 |
Wagon R AGS | PKR 3,925,608 | PKR 39,256 | PKR 3,964,864 |
Cultus VXR | PKR 4,048,464 | PKR 40,485 | PKR 4,088,949 |
Swift GL CVT | PKR 4,788,480 | PKR 47,885 | PKR 4,836,365 |
Swift GLX CVT | PKR 4,954,392 | PKR 49,544 | PKR 5,003,936 |
Ravi | PKR 2,052,768 | PKR 20,528 | PKR 2,073,296 |
Bolan | PKR 2,036,160 | PKR 20,362 | PKR 2,056,522 |

The increase in vehicle prices is expected to affect demand, particularly for entry-level cars like the Suzuki Alto and Bolan, which have traditionally been the top choice for budget-conscious consumers. The added costs could discourage new buyers, especially amid economic uncertainty and rising inflation.
On the other hand, these fiscal adjustments indicate a strategic pivot by the government toward environmentally sustainable transportation. By taxing ICE vehicles more heavily, the policy indirectly encourages the adoption of hybrid and electric vehicles—a move aligned with global climate goals.
While the tax-induced price hike may create short-term affordability challenges, it also reflects a long-term vision for cleaner mobility. Buyers considering new Suzuki models in 2025 should carefully assess their budgets and explore fuel-efficient alternatives as the market begins to adapt to these regulatory changes.
