New Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Unveiled: Premium Features and Spacious Cabin

Maruti Suzuki has finally lifted the curtain on the new Wagon R, a car that has been one of India’s most loved hatchbacks for years. Known for its tall-boy design, reliable performance, and practical nature, the Wagon R now comes with a refreshed look, new features, and an even more spacious and premium cabin. Whether you are looking for a family car or a budget-friendly option for city driving, the new Wagon R seems to be a stronger contender than ever before.

Design & Style

The new Maruti Suzuki Wagon R comes with a few noticeable changes in design, yet it remains familiar. The front grille now looks more stylish with a chrome finish. The bumper has been redesigned slightly to give it a more modern appearance. The headlamps are sharper and more detailed. Even the fog lamp housing has been reshaped to look sportier.

On the sides, it retains the upright stance that gives it the famous tall-boy identity. New alloy wheels are added for a more premium feel. At the back, you’ll see slightly revised tail lamps and a chrome strip that runs across the boot, giving it a more complete look.

Maruti has also introduced new dual-tone color options, which make the car stand out even more on the road. The overall design is not too flashy but neat, practical, and slightly more refined than before.

Engine & Performance

Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki  Wagon R offers two petrol engine options. The first is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine that delivers around 67 bhp and 89 Nm of torque. The second is a more powerful 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque.

Both engines are paired with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission). The gearshifts are smooth, and the engine response is predictable, especially in city traffic.

The CNG version of the 1.0-litre engine is also available for those who prefer a more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly option. While not meant for racing, the new Wagon R’s performance is more than enough for daily commuting and family duties.

Ride & Handling

The suspension setup in the new Wagon R is tuned for comfort. It absorbs potholes and road bumps quite well, especially for a hatchback in this price range. The steering is light and responsive, making it perfect for city drives and tight parking situations.

At higher speeds on highways, the car remains stable, though some body roll is expected due to its height. However, for the kind of purpose this car serves – mainly city runs and occasional highway trips – it delivers a very satisfactory ride.

Features & Tech

This is where Maruti has made significant improvements. The cabin now feels more upmarket with dual-tone interiors, better quality plastics, and improved seat upholstery. The dashboard layout is simple yet functional.

It now comes with a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You also get steering-mounted controls, electrically adjustable ORVMs, remote keyless entry, and a rear parking camera in the higher variants.

Here’s a quick overview table of key features:

Overall, the tech package is better equipped than before and gives a good value for the money.

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

• The CNG variant is the king of efficiency here, offering up to 34.05 km/kg.
