As we know, GST Council in their 48th meeting decided to change the definition of what an SUV is. Under the new a definition, a vehicle will have to meet 4 criteria’s to qualify as an SUV. It should be popular in the market as an SUV, the vehicle’s length should be over 4,000 mm, the engine capacity should be above 1,500 cc and the ground clearace of the vehicle should be over 170 mm. Only if the vehicle meets these criteria, it is eligible to be called as an SUV. Anything that does not meet these criteria’s are not SUVs and would attract lower tax rates. So which all SUV meet all four criteria laid by the GST council? let’s take a look.

The sub-4 meter segment SUVs like Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV300 and Tata Nexon are all not eligible as SUVs according to the new definition. Most of these SUVs do not meet several parameters mentioned by the council. As per the new definition, if the vehicle fails to meet any one of the criteria, it cannot be categorized as an SUV. It is only because of this reason why Mahindra Thar is not an SUV according to the GST council criteria.
