What makes the Maruti Suzuki WagonR so popular?
Introduced in 1999, WagonR has served Maruti as a consistent top-selling model. The spacious hatchback is widely popular due to its tallboy design and roomy interiors, which are the first priority of first-time car buyers.
Moreover, WagonR’s punchy engine options, which include a 1.0-litre petrol and a 1.2-litre petrol, offer impressive fuel economy of 25.19 km/l (ARAI-claimed). Additionally, buyers get an efficient CNG 1.-litre option as well, which offers a claimed mileage of 34 km/kg.
Maruti sells the WagonR in five countries, which include India, Japan, Hungary, and Indonesia. The hatchback had earlier crossed the 1 crore global sales milestone in August 2025.
With its 25-year legacy, WagonR needs no update as it comes loaded with all bells and whistles, including the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, steering-mounted audio controls, alloy wheels, etc.
In terms of safety, it is loaded with six airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, ISOFIX seats, and more as standard.
