Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is sold with a 1.0-litre petrol and a 1.2-litre petrol engine, paired with either a five-speed MT or a five-speed AMT
Maruti Suzuki has the Wagon R as one of its consistent sellers for several years despite not changing much in its appearance to cause a revelation till last year. The third generation Wagon R is a complete departure from its predecessors as the brand went all in with it. As the last crop of models, it is also based on the lightweight Heartect platform.
Besides being based on a new architecture, the Wagon R had a comprehensive makeover both inside and out when it went on sale in January 2019. With a more appealing exterior, the tall hatch stance continued to remain in place and the cabin received substantial updates in response to the growing competition in the entry-level space.
Despite difficult market sentiments in 2019, the Wagon R did live up to the expectations as it registered good numbers. Midway through 2019, Maruti Suzuki introduced the BSVI compliant Wagon R and is currently priced from Rs. 5.13 lakh for the base VXi and it goes up to Rs. 5.94 lakh for the ZXi AGS trim (ex-showroom, Delhi) when paired with 1.2-litre petrol engine.
