How will urban vs. rural buyers respond differently to the new Maruti Suzuki car GST rate?

Answer # 1 #

I think rural buyers will go for basic models like Alto, WagonR, and S-Presso. Urban buyers will go for Swift, Baleno, and Brezza. The GST cut affects both, but the choice of models will be different.

In rural areas, buyers may delay purchases until the new rate officially kicks in. In cities, many buyers will pre-book during festive season to grab the price drop immediately. That’s the main difference I see.

Urban buyers will treat it as a bonus but not a big game-changer. They already buy cars for comfort, style, or status. For them, a cut of ₹50,000 is helpful but not a deciding factor. Rural buyers, on the other hand, are much more price conscious. For them, ₹50,000 saving can make or break the deal. That is why rural demand will grow faster compared to urban.
