Just now, Changan revealed price hikes for all its vehicles starting July 1, 2025. Every single model in their lineup will become more expensive. This change comes as car companies across the industry adjust to new costs linked to the 2025-26 government budget. When budgets shift, businesses often pass along extra expenses, similar to how grocery prices rise when ingredient costs go up.

Below is a simple breakdown of the new prices for Changan’s full range:

Why Are Car Prices Rising on Every Model?

You might have noticed car prices climbing lately, and it’s happening across almost every brand. The main reason? A new tax introduced in the government’s recent 2025-26 budget is impacting the cost to build cars locally. This tax, called the NEV Adoption Levy (think of it as a fee to support new electric vehicles), adds between 1% and 3% to a car’s price tag. The exact amount depends on the size of the car’s engine.

Because of this extra cost, car companies building vehicles here have had to adjust their prices. While a few manufacturers managed to cover this new fee themselves without raising prices for buyers, most brands had no choice. To handle the added expense, they’ve had to pass some, or even all, of this new tax cost directly onto customers like you. So, that budget change is the key driver behind the higher prices you’re seeing everywhere.
