How Frugal Is Maruti WagonR 1.2L AMT In Real World?
The WagonR 1.2L AMT has a claimed fuel economy figure of 20.52kmpl
The Maruti WagonR is among the most popular cars in its segment in India in terms of buyer demand. It’s available with two petrol engine options -- 1.0L and 1.2L -- both of which are available with a manual gearbox as well as an AMT. We recently tested the WagonR 1.2L with AMT and noted the mileage it delivered per litre of fuel. Here are the numbers:
| Displacement |
1.2-litre |
| Max power |
83PS |
| Peak torque |
113Nm |
| Transmission |
5-speed MT/AMT |
| Claimed fuel efficiency |

| Tested fuel efficiency (city) |
12.19kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (highway) |
18.74kmpl |
| Mileage |
50% in city and 50% on highway |
25% in city and 75% on highway |
75% in city and 25% on highway |
| 14.77kmpl |
16.52kmpl |
13.35kmpl |
The real-world fuel efficiency results reveal that the WagonR 1.2L is not as fuel efficient as Maruti claims. This is quite expected since the claimed figures are recorded under controlled conditions.
If you drive mostly in the city, expect the WagonR AMT to return somewhere around 13kmpl over a longer duration. The figure can drop lower if you have to negotiate your way through dense traffic often. On the other hand, if your daily routine involves a route that is relatively empty and where you can cruise at a steady speed, you can expect the overall fuel efficiency figure to go up to 16kmpl.
Your findings may vary from ours as fuel efficiency differs with driving conditions, car condition and driver behaviour too. If you’re an existing WagonR 1.2L AMT owner, do share your findings in the comments section below.

I own a Wagon R 1.2 AMT DEC 2019 model. In Kochi City drive it gives around 14 kmpl, on highways when the avg fuel indicator is reset and driven at a steady speed it returns around 21 to 21.9 kmpl
I'm owing WagonR zxi, at present I drove 500 kms in city, it's average is 12.2 kmpl
By far best car in its Class, fuel efficient 15 Km in City, 20 Km on highway, easy to drive and good control. I learnt my driving on this car.
