India’s favorite tallboy hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, is back with a brand-new facelift and a surprising starting price of just ₹3 lakh (ex-showroom). Known for its practicality and fuel efficiency, this new version brings fresh styling, better comfort, modern features, and more value than ever. With a mileage of up to 26 kmpl, it’s a deal that’s hard to ignore.

Let’s explore all the details of the new Wagon R facelift including design, engine, ride quality, features, fuel efficiency, pricing, and more.

Design & Style

The facelifted Maruti Suzuki Wagon R carries forward the boxy charm that it is famous for, but now with a more stylish twist. Maruti has introduced a redesigned front grille with chrome accents, new headlamp detailing, and sportier bumpers. The rear also gets a mild tweak with new taillamps and a revised tailgate design.

From the side, it still maintains the tallboy silhouette but now features new alloy wheels and a sharper body line. You also get dual-tone color options in the top variant. The car is slightly longer than before, giving it a better road presence while maintaining the compact nature.

Interior-wise, the cabin gets a two-tone theme with fabric seat upholstery. There’s better finish on the dashboard and more storage spaces around the cabin. Overall, it’s a refreshing upgrade for everyday drivers.

Engine & Performance

The new Maruti Suzuki Wagon R  facelift continues with its tried-and-tested engine options. You can choose from two petrol engine options – a 1.0L and a 1.2L K-series petrol engine. Both engines are tuned for better fuel efficiency and smoother performance in city conditions.

Here are the performance specs:

• 1.0L Petrol – 67 PS power, 89 Nm torque

• 1.2L Petrol – 89 PS power, 113 Nm torque

• Transmission – 5-speed Manual & AMT available

• CNG Option – Available in selected variants

The 1.2L engine delivers better pickup and is more suitable for highway usage, while the 1.0L is ideal for city commuters looking for fuel economy.

Ride & Handling

Being a city-friendly car, the Wagon R is easy to drive in narrow lanes, crowded streets, and tight parking spots. The steering is light, and the turning radius is very small, making it perfect for beginners and elderly drivers.

Suspension setup has also been slightly improved, which means fewer bumps felt inside the cabin. At higher speeds, the car remains stable, especially in the 1.2L version. Though not a sporty car, it delivers a comfortable ride for daily use.

Features & Tech

The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R facelift comes loaded with a bunch of new features that make it more appealing to today’s buyers.
