Maruti Suzuki Wagon R vs Hyundai EON Comparison

To date, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R remains the most functional hatchback for an Indian family. It is not a driver’s car or a luxury statement; instead, it is a practical tool for transportation, and Maruti Suzuki has built it that way. The 1.2-litre engine also refines what was missing in previous generations, making it the go-to city car that can also handle occasional highway sprints. However, the safety aspect cannot be ignored either, as the 1-star Global NCAP rating is quite poor in an era where consumers are becoming increasingly safety-conscious.
Siddharth concludes,
“It remains a purpose-built, practical urban car, but now with added panache and modern tech. By offering two engine choices and an AMT option from the launch, Maruti has set a new benchmark for the segment.” 

Overall, if you prioritise highway driving, there are better options in the Indian market. But if you want a spacious, reliable, and highly efficient city car, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the pragmatic king.
