Diwali is when car and bike manufacturers pull out all stops — offering new models, big discounts, attractive financing, and bonus perks. Festive demand surges, and many brands try to capitalize by introducing special editions, launches timed just before Diwali, and heavy discount bundles. In 2025, some exciting new launches are set to drop, and several existing models are being offered with generous Diwali-special discounts. This article dives into what’s new, what deals are best, and how to make the most of your purchase this festive season.

Festive Offers on Cars: Major Discounts & Deals

Numerous brands are offering significant discounts during Diwali 2025. Some offers are tied to model year (MY) variants, while others combine cash discounts, exchange bonuses, and loyalty incentives.

Brand / Model Range	Discount / Benefit Details	Which Variants / Models Get Best Deals
Volkswagen (Tiguan, Taigun, Virtus)	Discounts up to ₹3 lakh including cash, trade-in/scrappage, loyalty bonuses	Higher variants benefit most; negotiation may add more depending on city
Maruti Suzuki	Up to ~₹1.80 lakh on select models including hatchbacks and SUVs	Models like Swift, Dzire, Brezza, etc., especially those with lower waiting periods

Skoda India	Festive discounts up to ₹4.50 lakh on premium models (Kushaq, Slavia, etc.)	Limited stock of MY24 variants; higher trims have better offers
Kia	Up to ~₹1.15 lakh benefits combining cash discount + exchange + corporate / loyalty bonus on models like Carnival, Seltos, Sonet, etc.	Depending on variant, best savings on top trims or special trims

Festive Offers on Bikes & Electric Two-Wheelers

Not just cars — bikes and electric bikes are also being specially priced this Diwali, with manufacturers introducing offers or special editions.

Bike / EV Brand	Offer / Perk Details	What Buyers Should Look For
Revolt Motors	‘Diwali Double Dhamaka’ scheme: cash discount, free insurance, assured gifts up to ₹1 lakh, lucky draw for gold voucher, etc.	Benefit of combining multiple perks; check final out-of-pocket cost after adding dealership / accessory charges
Brixton Crossfire 500XC	Large price cut: from ex-showroom ₹5.19 lakh to ~₹3.99 lakh (a saving of ₹1.20 lakh) valid till early November	Best chance to grab a premium bike at lower cost; check variant and paint / options charges

How GST Changes Have Impacted Offers

In 2025, just before Diwali, GST adjustments on vehicles have changed effective pricing on many models. The reduced tax / slab changes in some categories allow manufacturers to offer better discounts without eating too much into profit margins.

Buyers should note:

Some discounts are visible only after considering the post-GST price.
Former “pre-GST” waiting or pricing premium may now diminish.
Dealers may pass on GST benefit only if bookings are made and delivered by certain dates.

Best Practices to Maximize Value

To get the best deal during Diwali 2025, here’s what to watch out for:

Choose Model Year Variants Wisely: MY24 or older stock often comes with larger discounts. MY25 or newly launched trims may have less room for discount.
Combine Offers: Stack cash discounts + exchange bonuses + corporate/loyalty bonus. Some brands provide freebies like accessories, extended warranty, insurance.
Check Financing Deals: Low interest or zero processing fee offers can reduce the real cost significantly. Particular benefit for electric vehicles and premium SUVs.
Delivery Timing: If delivery is delayed past Diwali or by end-year, GST or tax benefits may not apply. Vendors sometimes enforce cut-offs.
After-Sales & Running Costs: Promotional offers may hide higher maintenance, accessory, or spare part costs. Always calculate 5-year cost of ownership.

What Buyers Should Be Cautious About

Limited Stock Offers: Some discounts apply only to leftover stock; once sold, prices return.
Dealer Margin Hikes: Sometimes dealers hike the “other charges” (logistics, accessories) to offset discounts. Ask for full cost breakdown.
GST Slabs Misunderstood: Buyers must ensure the vehicle variant they choose qualifies for lower GST; higher trims with features may fall into different slabs.
Over-promising Features: New launches often teased before release; ensure features promised are final, not just prototype / concept ones.

Conclusion

Diwali 2025 is shaping up to be an excellent time for buyers in the market for a new car or bike. With new launches timed around the festival, generous trade or scrappage incentives, and strong discounts across brands — those willing to do homework and act within the festive window can save significantly. Whether you favor compact EVs, rugged SUVs, premium sedans, or performance bikes, there are compelling deals to explore.

Happy vehicle hunting this Diwali — may you drive away not just with lights and joy, but with value and satisfaction.
