2019 Maruti Suzuki WagonR Manual & Automatic Video Review First Drive

Maruti Suzuki’s all-new third generation WagonR has been designed to keep its identity intact. But while doing so, Maruti has been clever to add a whole new dimension to one of its all-time bestsellers. 20 years, that’s how long the WagonR has been on sale in India. When the WagonR in fact, was first launched here it was marketed as an ‘intelligent’ car with its advertisements bragging about its 16-bit computer system, while the practical nature of the car was highlighted with the tagline – MAV- which stood for Multi Activity Vehicle. There weren’t very many options in the Indian car market back then and the WagonR was viewed as the most spacious hatchback in the country that came with reliable, Japanese engineering. Nevertheless, some people thought the WagonR was an odd ball owing to its ‘tall boy’ design, while others thought it to be quite a good all-rounder.
