  • Supreme Value For Money ZXI Variant

    The ZXI variant of the recently-updated Wagon-R offers supreme value over all the other variants. It comes with the 1.2L normal petrol engine and offers features like idle start/stop, Bluetooth-enabled audio system, steering-mounted audio controls and dual airbags.

  • Spacious Cabin And Impressive Road Presence

    Thanks to its tall boy design, the Wagon-R offers impressive amounts of headroom and knee room inside the cabin. In addition to that, it also commands a good road presence thanks to its tall riding stance.

  • Choice Of 1.0L And 1.2L Petrol Engines

    The Wagon-R comes with a 1.0L normal petrol in the lower variants whereas the top-spec ZXI and ZXI+ variants now come with the 1.2L normal petrol engine as standard. The 1.2L normal petrol engine offers equally good fuel efficiency when compared with the 1.0L normal petrol while offering better refinement, performance and driveability.

  • CNG With 1.0L And AMT Option With Both Engines

    Maruti Suzuki offer the Wagon-R CNG with the 1.0L normal petrol engine, which is very efficient. In addition to that, the Wagon-R comes with the choice of an AMT transmission with both 1.0L normal petrol and 1.2L normal petrol engine options.

  • Impressive After-sales Support And Resale Value

    After-sales service is the backbone of Maruti Suzuki in India. The Wagon-R enjoys a reassuring after-sales network and it is very easy to find a qualified technician for Maruti Suzuki cars even in the remote locations. In addition to that, the Wagon-R, being a popular model, also enjoys higher resale value with minimal depreciation.

  • CNG Option Isn’t Available In The ZXI Variant

    Maruti Suzuki offer the Wagon-R CNG with the 1.0L VXI variant only. The ZXI variant, which is the most value for money variant in the Wagon-R, neither comes with a CNG option nor with the 1.0L normal petrol engine.

  • Expensive In Today’s Time

    The Wagon-R has become a lot more expensive than when it first arrived in the Indian market. While the increased prices justify themselves with the improvement in features and overall quality, the Wagon-R nameplate fails to justify that.

  • Low Ground Clearance And Overall Appeal

    The new Wagon-R comes with a ground clearance of 165mm, which is not enough for a vehicle as tall as the Wagon-R. In addition to that, the Wagon-R lacks the premium appeal, against its rivals because of the fact that there are already a lot of Wagon-R hatchbacks running on our roads.
