With GST now implemented, we take a look at its impact on car prices. While most vehicle categories were expected to see a reduction in taxation, it remained to be seen how much of this benefit was going to be passed down to the consumer.

With the new tax structure now in effect, most cars from major manufacturers have seen reductions, but hybrids are subject to a 12.7 percent hike in effective tax. The move is a result of the government's drive to promote electric vehicles, as hybrids were reported to be gaining an undeserved advantage.
