In the fiscal year 2023, the Wagon R with&nbsp;2,12,340 units and 12 per cent growth&nbsp;topped the mid-size hatchback category.

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Surpasses 10 Lakh Unit Sales Milestone in India Since 2019

During the first quarter of the current financial year ending March 2025,  Maruti Suzuki delivered around 46,312 units of the Wagon R against 54,618 units in April–June 2023.

<p>Bharat Mobility Expo:&nbsp;The inaugural Bharat Mobility Show is in full swing, with numerous models from several well-known automakers on display. One of the luxury car brands, Maruti Suzuki, has unveiled the Wagon R Flex Fuel. It debuted at the 2023 Auto Expo and is anticipated to run on our roads by 2025.&nbsp;In terms of appearance, the vehicle is essentially the same as the regular Wagon R, but it has some unique features like 'Flex-Fuel'&nbsp;decals. The&nbsp;fluorescent accents are also applied to the cabin. In India, the price range for the standard Wagon R ranges between Rs 5.54 lakh and Rs 7.42 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is anticipated that the Flex Fuel variant of the&nbsp;hatchback will fetch a marginally higher price than the base model when it is released onto the market. However, no official statement has been issued on this matter.</p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex Fuel: Key Mechanical Highlights</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-wagonr-flex-fuel-car-showcased-in-delhi-can-run-on-a-mix-of-ethanol-and-petrol-111984/">WagonR Flex Fuel&nbsp;is capable of running on any 20% (E20) to 85% (E85)</a> ethanol and petroleum blend.&nbsp;Maruti Suzuki claims this version adheres to the government's clean and green policies. The vehicle will use a 1.2-litre&nbsp;naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine with 88.5bhp and 113Nm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission.&nbsp;The engine has been modified to run smoothly on flex fuel. Ethanol sensors to measure the amount of ethanol in the fuel, injectors, a strong fuel pump, and heated fuel rails for cold start assistance are all part of the upgraded engine management system.</p>

<p>The carmaker claims that while maintaining the same power output, the new WagonR Flex Fuel would help cut tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by 79% when compared to its petrol sibling.</p>

<p>In addition, Maruti Suzuki has demonstrated the eVX concept at the Bharat Mobility event, which is now taking place in New Delhi. In our market, the Maruti Suzuki eVX has been spotted going through several road tests on multiple occasions. It was first shown in public as a concept at the 2023 Auto Expo and later at&nbsp;the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show as a near-production-ready version. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-evx-spied-testing-in-india-ahead-of-launch-shows-adas-sensor-115981/">most recent spy images</a> highlighted a traditional front grille and a more somber appearance than the concept version. Other notable design elements include sweptback headlamps, C-pillar placed rear door handles, gunmetal-coloured multispoke alloy wheels, blind-spot monitors, and a high-positioned stop lamp.</p>


Bharat Mobility Expo: Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex Fuel Showcased, India Launch Likely By 2025

Bharat Mobility Expo: The Flex-fuel powered Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been displayed alongside the Maruti Suzuki eVX concept at the ongoing mobility show in India.

<p>The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is a popular hatchback in the country, which finds its position among the top-selling cars in India almost every year. However, the latest round of the Global NCAP crash tests brought the aspect of its safety under doubt once again. The Global NCAP test was conducted recently, and several cars, including the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, the Alto K10, the Skoda Slavia, and the Volkswagen Virtus were tested, according to the updated GNCAP protocols. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R received a 1-star rating for adult safety and 0 stars for child safety. According to reports, it obtained&nbsp;a 2-star rating in 2019. Along with the Wagon R, the new Alto K10 was also crash tested by the Global NCAP. The new Alto K10 received a 2-star safety rating for adult safety and a 0-star rating for child safety. For now, let's know in detail about the crash test result of the Wagon R.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Maruti Suzuki WagonR Side Crash Test 2" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/04/Maruti-Suzuki-WagonR-side-Crash-Test-2.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Wagon R: Adult Crash Test Results</h2>

<p>The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R received a rating of 19.69 out of 34 points in adult occupant protection. In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the Wagon R obtained 6.7 points, and in the side movable deformable barrier test, it received 13 points. Since the vehicle only has two front airbags and no curtain airbags, no side pole impact test was performed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the frontal collision test, satisfactory protection for the neck of the driver and adequate protection for the head was noticed. The knees received fair safety, while the driver's chest gets weak protection. It was also observed in the test that the knees of the driver might bump into ''dangerous structures'' behind the dashboard.&nbsp;</p>

<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPbTvnbQeD4</p>

<p>The protection provided for the head and neck was rated as satisfactory, and the chest received fair protection on the passenger's side. Further, the footwell and bodyshell were classified as unstable and incapable of withstanding any additional loads. The Wagon R lacks Electronic Stability Control as standard equipment. Further, it does not meet GTR9 and UN127 pedestrian safety standards.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Wagon R: Child Crash Test Results</h2>

<p>The Wagon R underperformed in child&nbsp;occupant protection with 0 stars. Both a CRS (child restraint device) and ISOFIX were absent. The test also identified the lack of three-point seatbelts in every seating position and the inability to turn off the front passenger airbag for the rear-facing child safety system. Further, the child's safety would be jeopardised if the airbag were to activate during an impact. The test also disclosed that both front- and rear-facing positions put kids at a high risk of harm.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki Wagon R: Features, Price &amp; Rivals&nbsp;</h2>

<p>On the feature front, the Wagon R offers ABS with EBD, a seat belt reminder system, dual airbags, load limiters for front-row passengers, and seat belt pre-tensioners.&nbsp;Price-wise, the model costs between Rs 5.53 and Rs 7.41 Lakh (Both prices, ex-showroom Delhi). As far as the market rivalry is concerned, the Wagon R locks horns with the&nbsp;Tata Tiago, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, and several other models in India.&nbsp;</p>


Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Receives 1-star Crash Test Rating: Watch Video

In the latest round of the Global NCAP crash tests, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has underperformed with only 1 star for adult safety and 0 stars for child safety. Let's know more about the crash test results of this hatchback.

<p><em><strong>The WagonR flex-fuel vehicle prototype was recently&nbsp;unveiled in Delhi&nbsp;by Maruti Suzuki. The WagonR Flex Fuel prototype was designed and developed locally by Maruti Suzuki engineers with&nbsp;necessary support from Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan.</strong></em></p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki says that the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/wagon-r/">WagonR</a> Flex Fuel prototype was created in accordance with the government's clean and green initiatives. It can run on any ethanol-petrol combination ranging from 20% (E20) to 85% (E85).&nbsp;New fuel system technology, such as heated fuel rail for cold start aid and ethanol sensor for ethanol percentage monitoring, have been developed to make the engine compatible with higher ethanol blends. To further enhance the durability of the engine and the vehicle, components such as the engine management system, updated fuel pumps, and fuel injectors, among others, have been created.</p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki has developed&nbsp;engine management system strategies and emission control systems to conform to the strict BS6 Phase-II emission criteria in order to be in line with the most recent regulations.&nbsp;The Maruti Suzuki WagonR Flex Fuel prototype is powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 113Nm of maximum torque at 4,400rpm and 88.5bhp of power at 6,000rpm. The engine is equipped with&nbsp;a 5-speed manual transmission.</p>

<p>Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director &amp; CEO, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> India Limited, commented on the occasion: 'Maruti Suzuki has consistently aligned itself to the national objectives of reducing the country’s oil import burden and improving the environment. Designed and developed locally in India with support from SMC, Japan, the Wagon R Flex Fuel prototype vehicle emboldens the Government of India’s "Make in India" efforts.'</p>

<p>'Notably, our research shows that ethanol fuel-based WagonR Flex Fuel prototype vehicle operating on E85 fuel will help reduce tailpipe GHG emissions by 79% in comparison to a conventional gasoline WagonR model while ensuring the same power performance. Showcasing this Flex Fuel prototype vehicle is a step in this direction. We will introduce our first Flex Fuel vehicle for the compact segment by 2025', he further added.</p>

<p>Interestingly, Maruti Suzuki has been developing a range of technologies spanning electric, hybrid electric, <a href="https://www.autox.com/cng-cars-in-india/">CNG</a>, bio-gas, ethanol, and flex-fuel in an effort to promote clean-fuel vehicles. By March 2023, the firm&nbsp;intends to have its all product lines fully compatible with E20 fuel regulations.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


Maruti Suzuki WagonR Flex-Fuel Car Showcased in Delhi, Can Run on a Mix of Ethanol and Petrol

Maruti Suzuki has revealed a flex fuel-powered WagonR prototype as part of its ongoing evaluation of the technology for the Indian market. A 20 percent (E20) to 85 percent (E85) ethanol-to-petrol ratio is what the WagonR prototype is intended to run on.

<p><em><strong>The decision has been taken by the firm to fix a potential defect in the rear brake assembly pin.</strong></em></p>

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> recently confirmed that it is recalling more than 9,000 units of its three models, namely-Wagon R, Ignis, and Celerio. The decision has been taken by the firm to fix a potential defect in the rear brake assembly pin. The impacted vehicles were manufactured between August 3 and September 1 this year.</p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki stated in a regulatory filing with the BSE, 'It is suspected that there is a possible defect in the rear brake assembly pin ('Part'), which, in a certain case, may break and cause a peculiar noise. There may be a possibility of an impact on brake performance in the long run.'</p>

<p>The firm has made the decision to recall the vehicles as a preventative measure in order to check and replace the defective component. According to the company, any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. It&nbsp;further added,&nbsp;"necessary repair, if required, will be undertaken post-inspection."&nbsp;Also, the&nbsp;authorised workshops will contact consumers to attend to their vehicles.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/celerio/">Celerio&nbsp;</a>and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/wagon-r/">Wagon R</a> are sold through Maruti Suzuki's Arena retail stores, whereas the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/ignis/">Ignis</a> is offered via the premium Nexa showroom networks located all over India.</p>

Maruti Suzuki recalls 9,925 units of Celerio, Ignis, and Wagon R

9925 units of the Wagon R, Ignis, and Celerio hatchbacks manufactured between August 3 and September 1, 2022 have been recalled by Maruti Suzuki. The company says the recall aims to fix a potential defect in the rear brake assembly pin.

<p><strong>We shall soon be saying ola to the new 2022 Wagon R!</strong></p>

<p>In the coming week, Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the next-gen Baleno hatchback. The company has been teasing the same on its social network handle. However, following the launch of the 2022 Baleno, Maruti Suzuki is likely to reveal the updated Wagon R. The changes will mostly be skin deep, as this is a mid-life makeover for the hatchback.</p>

<p>The updates will mainly include a restyled grille and a new set of alloy wheels. The hatchback will sport new colour schemes, and some variants will be offered with a dual-tone colour option as well. That being said, the overall appearance of the hatchback will stay the same as the outgoing model on sale.</p>

<p>The interior will mostly be offered in a different theme, but the overall dashboard layout will be the same as the outgoing model. The feature&nbsp;list could be the same as before; however, expect a few minor additions to justify a mild price increase.</p>

<p>The new and updated <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/" target="_blank">Maruti Suzuki</a> Wagon R will seek Rs 10,000 – 15,000 more than the price of the current model. The outgoing Wagon R is priced between Rs 5.18 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 6.58 lakh (ex-showroom).</p>

<p>The engine options will be the same as well, which includes a 1.0-litre NA petrol, powering the lower variants, and a 1.2-litre NA petrol. Both engines will be offered with a choice of an AMT, and some variants will continue to be powered by CNG. It will be interesting if Maruti Suzuki manages to combine the efficiency of the CNG and the convenience of an automatic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We shall soon find out the launch date of the new Maruti Suzuki <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/wagon-r/" target="_blank">Wagon R</a>, which is most likely to be in March 2022.</p>

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R facelift to be launched soon

Following the launch of the 2022 Baleno, Maruti Suzuki is likely to reveal the updated Wagon R. The changes will mostly be skin deep as this is a mid-life makeover for the hatchback.

<p><strong><em>With the future of diesel engines becoming uncertain in India with each passing day, a full-fledged shift to EVs for manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki seems to be the next logical step, as evinced by this WagonR EV prototype.</em></strong></p>

<p>Yes, this might not come across as&nbsp;an absolutely shocking and new development for many as the images of an Electric <a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/2019-maruti-suzuki-wagonr-manual-automatic-video-review-first-drive-105421/">Maruti Suzuki WagonR</a> have been doing the rounds&nbsp;on the internet for quite a while. However, we too have spotted one recently and can't help but dish out a few details and observations about it.</p>

<p><strong>Looks bigger than the standard WagonR</strong></p>

<p>Straight off the bat, those with a keen eye for detail will notice that this electric version certainly sports&nbsp;bigger dimensions than the standard WagonR currently on sale. An obvious first-drawn conclusion is that the extra space is needed to accommodate the heavy battery pack. However, it is not known yet whether Maruti Suzuki has fitted the battery pack in the floor of the car (to save interior space) or elsewhere. On the downside though, this one's boxier in appearance than its regular counterpart and even the design language seems to be a bit too out-of-the-box.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Electric Maruti Suzuki WagonR Side Profile" height="336" src="/uploads/2019/05/Electric-Maruti-Suzuki-WagonR-Side.jpg" width="642" /></p>

<p><strong>What's with the EV livery and&nbsp;graphics?</strong></p>

<p>There's no doubt that EVs in India are struggling for popularity and adoption. Therefore, manufacturers will&nbsp;have to put in extra effort to make sure people look towards their electric products in the future. However, having said this, filling the car's exterior with boldly-written 'Electric Vehicle' livery does not seem to be the solution. This&nbsp;is just a one-way ticket to some abject ridicule. Let's hope the actual production-spec car goes lighter on its EV claim.</p>

<p><strong>What's on offer?</strong></p>

<p>Perhaps the most difficult question to answer at this point. While Maruti Suzuki has been doing a very good job so far of keeping the details under wraps, it is also difficult to make predictions since this is a first-of-its-kind product from Maruti Suzuki, therefore can't even take clues from any product. However, based on speculation, the electric WagonR might just offer a higher driving range than its competitors (like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/ministry-of-finance-adopts-e-mobility-in-partnership-with-eesl-105289/">Tata Tigor EV</a> and Mahindra e-Verito), which are only good for about 140-150 km of driving on a single charge.</p>

<p><strong>Expected price?</strong></p>

<p>To make sure that the electric WagonR becomes a success, Maruti Suzuki will try and add a few more bells&nbsp;and whistles to it in order to make it a lucrative option. This could range from anything between the addition of more equipment to some after-sales schemes and benefits. So, expect the Electric WagonR to come with a price tag somewhere around the Rs 10 lakh mark. Plus, with the revisions brought in by the&nbsp;FAME-II policy guidelines, the electric WagonR might just offer some good subsidy amount to its customers. At this point, there is no confirmation of the electric WagonR's launch date.&nbsp;</p>


Electric Maruti Suzuki WagonR spotted testing

The electric WagonR seems to be in its final testing phase before it is officially launched in India. However, as of now, we can only take notes from this recently-spotted test prototype as there is no confirmed word on it yet from Maruti Suzuki.

<p><strong><em>With a more powerful engine, refreshed styling and modern-day equipment, the 2019 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been launched in India at an ex-showroom price of&nbsp;₹ 4.19 lakh for the base LXi variant.</em></strong></p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki's first new offering for&nbsp;2019 comes in the form of&nbsp;the&nbsp;new Wagon R, which has been&nbsp;among India's top-five selling cars for over a decade. Here's all you need to know about the new Wagon R...</p>

<p><strong>Exterior</strong></p>

<p>Based on Maruti Suzuki's new and acclaimed 5th-gen Heartect platform (which already underpins the new <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/baleno/">Baleno</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/swift/">Swift</a>, Dzire and the Ignis), the 2019 Wagon R sports bigger dimensions as it is now wider by 145mm and offers longer wheelbase by about 35mm. Despite retaining its boxy proportions (which have been associated with the WagonR ever since its debut in India in 1999), the third-generation of the&nbsp;Wagon R gets new styling elements in the form of dual-split headlamps, a wide C-pillar design of course,&nbsp;a new, bolder face&nbsp;thanks to a chunky chrome strip on the new architectural-design grille. Making use of the new&nbsp;platform has also resulted in a&nbsp;significant&nbsp;weight loss of about&nbsp;65kg over the outgoing&nbsp;model.</p>

<p><img alt="New Maruti Suzuki Wagonr Rear" height="336" src="/uploads/2019/01/new-maruti-suzuki-wagonr-rear.jpg" width="642" /></p>

<p><strong>Specifications</strong></p>

<p>For the first time, the Wagon R has been introduced with multiple engine options. The engine choices include a&nbsp;1.0-litre K10B three-cylinder petrol motor (22.5 km/l) which&nbsp;generates close to 67bhp and 90Nm of torque and a higher-spec&nbsp;1.2-litre K12M four-cylinder petrol motor (21.5 km/l) which generates a greater power output of around 82bhp and 113Nm of torque. The 1.2-litre unit is the same motor which also powers the Swift, Ignis, Dzire and the Baleno. The new car's length, width and height figures now stand at 3,655mm, 1,620mm and 1,675mm, respectively. With all seat's up, the new&nbsp;Wagon R offers a boot space of 341 litres and with the 2nd row of seats folded, space can be increased to 710 litres. The fuel tank capacity is pegged at 32 litres.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Features and Variants</strong></p>

<p>The 2019 Wagon R has been launched in three variants, which will be offered in seven iterations: The base variant LXi, VXi and the top-spec ZXi. While the base variant is strictly available with the 1.0-litre petrol motor and manual transmission (LXi 1.0L), the mid-spec variant gets both the engine options as well as both manual and AMT (AGS) transmission options (VXi 1.0L, VXi AGS 1.0L, VXi 1.2L, VXi AGS 1.2L). the top-spec variant will be strictly available with the 1.2-litre motor but, with both transmission options (ZXi 1.2L and ZXi AGS 1.2L).&nbsp;</p>

<p>In terms of features and interior changes, 2019 Wagon R gets an all-new dashboard layout and design with a much-awaited 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dubbed as the 'SmartPlay Studio' which comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.&nbsp;Other convenience features include power windows (front and rear), manual air-conditioning, steering-mounted audio and call controls and a rear wiper/defogger. However, the third-gen WagonR misses out on LED DRLs and alloy wheels. Safety features include dual airbags (only driver airbag available as standard), ABS with EBD, rear parking assist speed-warning indicator and front seatbelt reminders. Except for the dual airbag option, all the above-mentioned safety features are standard across all variants.</p>

2019 Maruti Suzuki WagonR launched in India at ₹ 4.19 lakh

The much-loved Maruti Suzuki WagonR is back in 2019 in a new and refreshed avatar. We bring you some important bits of information about the new car ranging from its launch price to specifications and feature details.

<p><strong>Will come with a new design, better interior and more features&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>With just over a week to go before the launch of the new WagonR, Maruti Suzuki has revealed the official images, and we have to say it looks extremely promising. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki </a>will launch the Wagon R on 23rd January.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The images released reveal the Wagon R to continue with the tall boy design, something that we knew from the spy shots and teaser images. Unlike the previous generation model, the Wagon R has a marginally curved face with the bonnet smoothly flowing into the new single slat grille. The headlight unit seems smaller than before and the bumper is considerably edgier than before. At the back, the Wagon R gets vertically stacked tail lamps.</p>

<p>Moving inside, the dashboard gets a dual tone black and beige treatment with a large touchscreen infotainment system in the centre. To keep the costs in check, the Wagon R may not come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The steering wheel, however, will get mounted controls and buttons for Bluetooth Telephony. Other features include a 12v charging socket, manual controls for the air con, electrically controlled ORVMs and more. Considering that the Wagon R is based on Maruti Suzuki’s new HearTect platform, it may be more spacious and lighter than before.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Dynamically Crafted Interiors Dashboard M" height="" src="/uploads/2019/01/Maruti-Suzuki-Wagon-R-Dynamically-crafted-interiors-dashboard-m.jpg" width="" /></p>

<p>The Wagon R will be offered with two engine options. While it will continue with the 1.0-litre three-pot Petrol in the lower variants, the top-spec trim will come with a 1.2-litre motor. The former is good for 68 horses and 90Nm, while the latter makes 83bhp and 113Nm same as the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/swift/">Swift</a> and Baleno. The top-spec variants will also get the option of an AMT.&nbsp;</p>

At that price, it will go against the likes of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/tata-tiago-review-first-drive/">Tata Tiago</a>, Datsun Go and the new Hyundai Santro.</p>
