Maruti Suzuki has announced a price hike of up to 2 per cent across its model line-up starting January, 2018. As a result, the prices of the Wagon R are expected to go up.
The Maruti WagonR has been one of the most successful hatchbacks from the Japanese carmaker. Launched in 1999, the WagonR recently crossed the 20 lakh sales mark.
A new range-topping variant - VX+ - was launched earlier this year. Offered in both manual as well as automated manual transmissions (AMT) options, it gets a safety pack (dual-front airbags, ABS and EBD). This variant gets features like projector headlamps, clear lens tail lamps, 14-inch gunmetal alloys, piano black interior inserts and others of the Stingray.
With respect to engines, the WagonR comes with a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, petrol motor, which pumps out 68PS of max power and a peak torque of 90Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed manual/AMT transmission. It returns the mileage of 20.51kmpl with petrol and 26.6kmpl with LPG fuel.
I have been using the Maruti Ritz model and was looking to change the car with another one from the same brand. I looked for new options present in the market like Beat, Celerio and many more, but couldn't feel the same level of comfort and satisfaction in any other model.

Space. A spacious hatchback in the truest sense of the word.
Peppy petrol engine. Just the right amount of power for the city.
Optional Airbags and ABS across all trims.
Optional AMT ups the convenience quotient in an already easy to drive car.
Things We Don't Like in Wagon R
Quality of materials used in the interior could've been better. Feels low rent.
NVH levels aren't the best. Lot of engine noise filters into the cabin.
Brakes feel spongy. Could have done with better pedal response.
No diesel motor. Tata Tiago gets a diesel engine in the same price range.
Stand Out Features
Optional AMT, makes city commutes even easier.
Safety tech viz. airbags and ABS optional from base spec.
CarDekho Verdict
The Wagon R might not be the best looking or have all the bells and whistles, but it is a practical hatch in every sense of the word. It is spacious, fuel efficient and has Maruti Suzuki’s dependable after sales network to back it up.
"The WagonR gives importance to practicality over style, function over form."
If you are the practical kind and want sheer utility from your next hatchback, the WagonR fits the bill nicely.
Background & Evolution
The WagonR dates back to as far as 1999 when it first debuted in the Indian market. It sported a peppy 1.0-litre motor, that went on to power other hatchbacks (like the Estilo) in the Maruti portfolio. Maruti updated the looks on a timely basis to make the WagonR keep up with the times.
A mildly refreshed version hit showroom floors in 2006. The hatchback entered it’s third innings in the A1 hatchback segment in 2010, post which, it hasn't received any major cosmetic update. Recent updates to the WagonR include slightly reworked grille and bumpers, optional ABS & airbags across all trims and an optional AMT.
