car&bike Expert Take
“The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is best suited to urban buyers who prefer practicality, easy drivability and low running cost over all else. It is not directed at those looking for premium interiors or high-speed stability. But its biggest strength is that it’s one of the most space-efficient and economical city hatchbacks in its price range.”

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Overview
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been a familiar name on Indian roads since its debut in 1999 in the 'tall-boy' hatchback segment, and it has sold about 34.1 lakh units as of June 2025. Its current third-generation avatar was launched in 2019, which was further updated with cleaner engines (BS6-compliant petrol variants and S-CNG variant) in 2022. Today, the 'Big New Wagon R' is built on the HEARTECT platform after its latest update in 2025, an identity it shares with its other siblings: the Swift, Ignis, and Ciaz.
This review of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been compiled from extensive road testing by our car&bike team as seen in our YouTube video. The 2019 iteration of this car was tested by Siddharth Vinayak Patankar for both manual and automatic variants. Siddharth also wrote a comparison review between the Wagon R and the Hyundai Santro to evaluate the former’s overall performance.
Positioned as a purely functional city car, the currently available Maruti Suzuki Wagon R sits above the Alto K10 and S-Presso, but below the Swift in the brand’s hierarchy. But despite any compromises, it remains an unapologetic practical haulier for the Indian market, consistently ranking among the top five best-selling cars in India.
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R delivers an enjoyable ride quality thanks to its low curb weight and peppy K-series engines.
Engine Options Tested
| Engine | Power | Torque |
| 1.0-litre K10C Petrol | 66 bhp | 89 Nm |
| 1.2-litre K12N Petrol | 89 bhp | 113 Nm |
| 1.0-litre CNG | 56 bhp | 82.1 Nm |

Driving Experience: Real World
Our road tests were conducted in Udaipur to gauge how the tall-boy handles different environments. We found that the car’s light steering and tight turning radius of 4.7 metres make it easy to park and traverse tight lanes. However, the suspension is a bit soft, so body roll and vertical movements are possible when tackling corners at high speeds.
1.0-litre K10C Petrol
This entry-level 1.0-litre Dual Jet engine has three cylinders. In city traffic, it feels enough to drive, as it offers decent low-end grunt for bumper-to-bumper commutes. But when pushed hard on the highway, the engine struggles to go past 100 kmph. This can make overtaking challenging.
According to Siddharth,
“This engine benefits from the lighter HEARTECT platform and has been retuned for better fuel efficiency.”
1.2-litre K12N Petrol
The 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the best among the three variants and has been exclusively tested by Siddharth in Udaipur. Its refinement levels are much higher than the base variant, and in our testing, it did not choke at 100 kmph. The extra torque (113 Nm) also meant fewer gear changes were required in the city. As a highway tourer, this is the most appropriate choice.
1.0-litre CNG
Maruti Suzuki’s CNG option delivers lower power of 56 bhp, but it is still enough to propel the car without any disturbance. On inclines, it may feel sluggish, but on flat roads, the performance deficit can be ignored in favour of far better running costs.
Transmission: AGS (AMT) vs Manual
A five-speed manual gearbox is available for all three variants of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. The typical AGS (Auto Gear Shift) from Maruti has improved a lot in recent years, but the ‘head-nod’ during aggressive shifts is still noticeable. Do note that AGS is only available on 1-litre and 1.2-litre petrol engines on VXI, ZXI and ZXI+ trims.
Siddharth notices,
“The AMT has become significantly smoother, though it still exhibits slight hesitation when switching quickly between Reverse and Drive. It’s also an urban family car. It’s not trying to be anything else. It is faster than before; it tops 90 kmph pretty quickly on the highway, but after that, it’s a tedious increase to 100 kmph. Then, it struggles to go above 120 kmph in the 1.0-litre trim.”
Pros
- Tall stance and wide-opening doors
- Tall passengers have surplus headroom
- Refined engine for city traffic
- Exceptional mileage from the CNG version
- Very good resale value
Cons
- 1-star rating from Global NCAP
- Noticeable body roll when cornering at speed
- The rear bench is flat with no contouring
- No reverse parking camera or adjustable headrests
- Plastic build quality of the interior
Verdict
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.
