The country’s leading automobile manufacturer has unveiled an impressive array of benefits, including cash discounts, exchange bonuses, and special schemes that could save customers up to ₹72,100 on select models.

Comprehensive Savings Across Arena and Nexa Lineups
The May offers span both Arena and Nexa dealership networks, covering everything from entry-level hatchbacks to premium SUVs. These limited-time deals are designed to make car ownership more accessible while providing maximum value to customers during this summer season.
“We understand that purchasing a car is a significant decision for Indian families, especially with the economic fluctuations we’ve seen in recent months,” says Rahul Sharma, Marketing Director at Maruti Suzuki India Limited. “Our May offers are structured to reduce the financial burden while ensuring customers get the latest features, technology, and comfort they deserve.”
The savings come in various forms – direct consumer discounts, exchange bonuses for those trading in their old vehicles, attractive scrappage incentives for vehicles that have completed their lifecycle, and exclusive benefits for institutional buyers. Depending on the model and variant chosen, customers can potentially save anywhere between ₹30,000 to ₹72,100.
Alto K10: The Budget-Friendly Champion
Leading the charge in terms of percentage savings is the ever-popular Alto K10, which continues to be India’s favorite entry-level car. Both petrol and CNG manual transmission variants of the Alto K10 offer substantial consumer benefits of ₹35,000, complemented by an exchange bonus of ₹15,000. Add to this a scrappage bonus of ₹25,000 (where applicable) and institutional sales benefits up to ₹2,100, and the total potential savings reach an impressive ₹62,100.
The Alto K10’s AGS (Auto Gear Shift) variants provide even greater value with benefits reaching up to ₹67,100. This represents nearly 15% of the vehicle’s ex-showroom price, making it an incredibly attractive proposition for first-time car buyers or those looking for an affordable second car for urban commuting.
WagonR: The Tall Boy Gets Taller Discounts
Maruti Suzuki’s popular “tall boy” hatchback, the WagonR, presents perhaps the most compelling value proposition in the May scheme of things. Both the 1.0L and 1.2L petrol MT, as well as the CNG variants, offer total savings of up to ₹72,100. The AGS versions of both engine options allow customers to potentially save up to ₹77,100, making this spacious and practical hatchback more accessible than ever.
Interestingly, the older generation WagonR (including the Tour variant popular with fleet operators) offers a significant total saving of ₹65,000, combining a consumer offer of ₹40,000 with exchange and scrappage bonuses.
“The WagonR has always represented exceptional value for money with its spacious interior, efficient engines, and practical design,” notes automotive analyst Priya Nair. “With these May offers, it becomes perhaps the most value-for-money proposition in the Indian car market right now.”
S-Presso and Celerio: Attractive Micro-SUV and Hatchback Options
The trendy S-Presso micro-SUV, with its distinctive high-riding stance and SUV-inspired design, is also part of the May bonanza. Its petrol MT and CNG variants offer total savings of up to ₹62,100, while the AGS variant allows for potential benefits of up to ₹67,100.
Similarly, the stylish Celerio hatchback comes with offers parallel to the S-Presso. Its petrol MT and CNG variants feature total savings of up to ₹62,100, with the AGS variant offering benefits reaching ₹67,100. With its efficient K-Series engine and contemporary design, the Celerio represents excellent value, especially with these additional May savings.
Swift and Dzire: Substantial Savings on Bestsellers
In a notable shift, the older Swift range (MT, AGS, and CNG) now comes with a total saving of ₹25,000, entirely comprising exchange and scrappage bonuses, with no direct consumer offer. However, the newly launched 2025 Swift model is available with more generous offers of up to ₹35,000 in total benefits.
The Dzire sedan, Swift’s three-box sibling, presents a slightly different picture. The older Dzire variants come with benefits of up to ₹30,000, including a cash discount of ₹15,000 and an exchange bonus of ₹15,000. The newly launched Dzire, however, is offered with more modest discounts as it continues to enjoy strong demand in the compact sedan segment.
Premium Arena Offerings: Brezza and Ertiga
The Brezza compact SUV, which recently received a generational update, now comes with a modest yet welcome exchange bonus of ₹15,000 for the VXI and LXI variants (both MT and AT). The higher ZXI+ and ZXI variants enjoy a more substantial exchange bonus of ₹25,000, making this feature-laden compact SUV more accessible.
“The Brezza has been one of our strongest performers in the highly competitive compact SUV segment,” explains Rajesh Kumar, Sales Manager at a prominent Maruti Suzuki Arena dealership in Delhi. “While the discounts might seem modest compared to some other models, they represent significant value considering the Brezza’s popularity and strong resale value.”
Interestingly, the Ertiga MPV, which has seen consistently strong demand and often commands waiting periods, continues to be offered without any significant discounts this May. This underscores its strong market position and the balanced supply-demand equation Maruti Suzuki has achieved with this popular seven-seater.
Nexa Showroom Special Offers: Baleno, Fronx, and Grand Vitara
The premium Nexa range also features compelling offers this May. The sophisticated Baleno hatchback comes with benefits of up to ₹55,000, while the Fronx, a crossover based on the Baleno platform, offers savings of up to ₹45,000.
Perhaps the most substantial savings in the Nexa lineup come with the Grand Vitara SUV. The older model year Grand Vitara can be purchased with benefits up to an astounding ₹1.70 lakh, while the new 2025 Grand Vitara offers savings up to ₹90,000. This makes the flagship Maruti Suzuki SUV, with its hybrid technology and premium features, significantly more affordable.
Other Nexa models like the Ignis come with benefits of up to ₹62,100, the Ciaz sedan offers savings up to ₹40,000, and the adventure-ready Jimny 4×4 features substantial discounts of up to ₹1.0 lakh. The premium XL6 MPV offers more modest savings of up to ₹25,000, while the top-end Invicto MPV presents benefits up to ₹1.40 lakh.
Fine Print and Special Conditions
As with any promotional offer, there are certain terms and conditions that potential buyers should bear in mind:
- Customers can avail of either the exchange bonus or the scrappage bonus based on eligibility, not both simultaneously.
- Corporate discounts are applicable only on select models and variants.
- All offers are valid until May 31, 2025.
- The exact discount amount may vary based on the specific variant, fuel type, transmission option, and manufacturing year.
- Additional dealer-level discounts might be available beyond the official Maruti Suzuki offers.
Regional variations in discount structures are common, with dealerships in certain markets occasionally offering enhanced benefits to clear inventory or meet sales targets. Prospective buyers are advised to visit their nearest Maruti Suzuki dealership to understand the specific offers applicable to their desired model and variant.
Strategic Timing and Market Context
Maruti Suzuki’s May 2025 offers come at a strategically important time. With the financial year having concluded in March, many customers who deferred purchases to the new fiscal year are now actively considering their options. Additionally, the summer months traditionally see increased car buying activity as families prepare for holiday travel.
“The May discount scheme is part of our broader strategy to maintain market leadership while ensuring our vast product range remains accessible to different customer segments,” explains Vinay Patel, Regional Sales Head for Maruti Suzuki’s Northern operations. “We’ve carefully calibrated the offers to balance profitability with market penetration.”
Industry analysts see these offers as a response to increased competition, particularly in the compact SUV segment where several new entrants have challenged Maruti Suzuki’s dominance. The substantial discounts on models like the Grand Vitara appear designed to counter new competitors while consolidating market share.
“Maruti Suzuki’s May offers reflect both confidence and caution,” observes Anjali Desai, automotive sector analyst with a leading financial services firm. “The willingness to offer substantial discounts on newer models shows determination to maintain volume leadership, while the selective approach to discounting hot-selling models like the Ertiga demonstrates supply chain confidence and brand strength.”
Financing Options Enhance Affordability
Complementing these direct discounts, Maruti Suzuki has also arranged special financing schemes through its preferred partners, including Maruti Suzuki Finance. These include competitive interest rates starting from 7.45%, extended loan tenures up to 8 years for select models, and minimal down payment options.
For salaried professionals, special corporate schemes offer additional benefits, while self-employed individuals can access tailored financing solutions with flexible repayment options. First-time car buyers with limited credit history can also benefit from specially designed entry-level financing packages.
“The combination of upfront discounts and attractive financing options effectively reduces the cost of ownership substantially,” says financial planner Rohan Mehta. “For instance, a ₹50,000 discount combined with a 0.5% interest rate reduction on a five-year loan can translate to savings of nearly ₹70,000-75,000 over the loan period.”
Beyond Discounts: Value-Added Benefits
Maruti Suzuki’s May offers extend beyond pure monetary discounts. Customers purchasing select models this month can also access extended warranty packages at special rates, discounted accessory packages, and complimentary service vouchers.
The company has also introduced a special “Peace of Mind” package with select models, offering three years of free roadside assistance, three free services beyond the standard package, and a complimentary sanitization treatment every six months for two years.
“These value-added services significantly enhance the ownership experience while providing tangible financial benefits,” explains customer experience specialist Maya Reddy. “The roadside assistance program alone would typically cost around ₹3,000-4,000 per year if purchased separately.”
Looking Ahead: Future Model Plans
While Maruti Suzuki’s current lineup enjoys these substantial May discounts, the company is simultaneously preparing for several important launches in the coming months. The upcoming Baleno 2025, Brezza 2025, e-Vitara electric SUV, three-row Grand Vitara, WagonR Electric, Fronx EV, and Jimny EV represent the company’s future direction.
Industry watchers speculate that the generous discounts on current models might partially be aimed at clearing inventory ahead of these anticipated launches. This presents an opportunity for value-conscious buyers to secure current generation models at attractive prices rather than waiting for the newer, potentially more expensive iterations.
A Golden Opportunity for Car Buyers
For prospective car buyers, Maruti Suzuki’s May 2025 offers represent a golden opportunity to own a vehicle from India’s most trusted automobile brand at exceptionally attractive prices. With savings ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹72,100 on mainstream models, and up to ₹1.70 lakh on premium offerings, the value proposition is compelling.
Whether you’re looking for an entry-level hatchback like the Alto K10, a practical family car like the WagonR, a stylish sedan like the Dzire, or a feature-packed SUV like the Grand Vitara, there’s a Maruti Suzuki model with a substantial discount waiting for you this May.
As always, the advice to potential buyers remains: visit your nearest Maruti Suzuki dealership, test drive your preferred models, understand the specific offers applicable to your chosen variant, and make an informed decision that balances immediate savings with long-term ownership satisfaction.
With these comprehensive May offers, Maruti Suzuki has ensured that summer 2025 will be remembered as a season of exceptional value in the Indian automotive market.
