The automotive sector is currently experiencing significant shifts due to the GST 2.0 reforms implemented by the government. This new tax system has not only reduced the prices of smaller cars but has also brought about substantial changes in the 7-seater MPV and SUV segments. Consequently, family rides are now more affordable and luxurious than ever before.
