Renault Tops GST Price Cuts With Discount: Savings Of Over Rs. 1 Lakh

Renault India has announced price reductions of up to Rs 96,395 across its three-model portfolio, effective September 22, 2025, following the GST 2.0 reforms. What makes the move stand out is that the company is also continuing with its existing discount offers, effectively giving buyers a double benefit during the festive season.
The Kiger compact SUV sees the biggest cuts, with the top-end Emotion CVT and Emotion DT CVT 1.0L Turbo variants now priced at Rs 10.34 lakh, down Rs 96,395 from Rs 11.30 lakh . The base Authentic MT version starts at Rs 5.76 lakh after a Rs 53,695 drop.
Mid-level trims such as the Evolution AMT and Techno MT are now priced at Rs 6.95 lakh and Rs 7.50 lakh respectively, reflecting reductions of Rs 64,795 and Rs 69,895. The Techno AMT has dropped by Rs 74,195 to Rs 7.96 lakh.
The Triber seven-seater receives reductions between Rs 53,695 and Rs 80,195, with the top Emotion AMT DT now priced at Rs 8.60 lakh. The Triber Authentic base variant is also now priced at Rs 5.76 lakh, down from Rs 6.29 lakh.
The Kwid hatchback has become more affordable too, with the RXE MT now costing Rs 4.29 lakh after a Rs 40,095 cut. The RXL AMT and RXT MT both drop to Rs 4.99 lakh, each reduced by Rs 55,095. Higher trims like the Climber AMT DT fall by Rs 54,995 to Rs 5.90 lakh, while the Climber AMT (non-DT) is down Rs 53,995 to Rs 5.79 lakh.
The cuts make Renault’s lineup more accessible across different buyer categories. The Kwid, already positioned as an affordable city car, now starts well under Rs 4.30 lakh, strengthening its case against entry-level rivals such as the Maruti Alto and S-Presso.
The Triber, one of the very few budget seven-seaters available, benefits the most in terms of value for family buyers. With the base variant and the Kiger’s base variant both now starting at Rs 5.76 lakh, Renault offers customers a clear choice between an MPV and an SUV at similar entry price points.
The Kiger’s price drop enhances its competitiveness against compact SUVs like the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet. With reductions of up to Rs 96,000 on the top variants, customers can access more features and higher trims at lower outlays, improving its position in a crowded segment.
Unlike some rivals who are phasing out promotional schemes while adjusting to the GST cuts, Renault has decided to continue with its existing offers. This means customers benefit not just from the GST-linked price drop but also from ongoing dealer incentives and corporate schemes.
For example, the Triber, which previously started at Rs 6.29 lakh, is now priced at Rs 5.76 lakh after GST adjustment, but buyers can still avail discounts on top of this reduction. The approach creates one of the most aggressive value propositions in the current market and is likely to attract buyers during the high-volume festive season.
Renault’s cuts take effect on September 22, coinciding with the start of Navratri, traditionally the beginning of India’s peak car-buying period. Bookings at revised prices are already being accepted, with deliveries starting the same day. This early access allows Renault to capture bookings before competitors who may take longer to adjust their pricing.
The timing also addresses Renault’s positioning challenge as a smaller player with a relatively limited dealer network. By offering sharper pricing, the brand is hoping to draw in buyers who might otherwise lean towards larger rivals with wider reach. Customers focused on maximum value may prioritise savings over convenience, potentially boosting showroom traffic for Renault.
The GST changes have benefitted Renault’s compact portfolio the most, with the Kwid, Triber, and Kiger all qualifying for the lower 18 percent GST slab due to their sub-4-metre length and small-capacity engines. The removal of compensation cess also simplifies the price structure, making the reductions clear to customers and helping Renault communicate the benefits more transparently.
Renault’s dual approach of combining GST benefits with continued discounts sets it apart from larger competitors like Mahindra and Tata, who have announced price cuts but without parallel incentive schemes. The French automaker’s strategy could force others to rethink their festive season offers to remain competitive.
The new prices establish important affordability benchmarks: the Kwid under Rs 4.30 lakh, the Triber as an affordable seven-seater starting under Rs 6 lakh, and the Kiger with top variants cheaper by close to Rs 1 lakh, and this is not considering discounts. Together, they create a stronger case for Renault in a highly competitive market.
