The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 2025 continues to rule India’s budget hatchback scene, priced between Rs. 5.3-7 lakh (ex-showroom, post-GST cut from Sept 22, 2025). With its signature tall-boy look, standard six airbags, and stellar fuel efficiency (24 kmpl petrol, 34 km/kg CNG), it’s a top pick for young buyers, small families, and cost-conscious commuters. Facing off against Renault Kwid and Tata Tiago, it leans on Maruti’s massive service network and low running costs to shine in urban chaos.
Practical and Durable Design
Measuring 3655 mm long, 1620 mm wide, and 1675 mm tall with 165 mm ground clearance, the Wagon R 2025 glides over rough roads and fits tight parking spots. Built on the lightweight HEARTECT platform (810-850 kg), it’s tough yet frugal, with a simple grille, halogen lights, and 14-inch alloys on higher trims. Colors like Pearl Midnight Black add flair, while wide doors and ISOFIX anchors make it family-ready for daily hustles.
Roomy and Functional Cabin
The airy interior seats five comfortably, with a high roof and 341L boot swallowing weekend hauls. Top variants pack a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, while base models stick to Bluetooth radio. Manual AC cools fast, and big windows keep it bright—practical touches like cup holders and a cooled glovebox nail the basics for city life without overcomplicating things.
Peppy and Economical Performance
Pick from a 1.0L (67 PS) or 1.2L (90 PS) petrol engine, or CNG for 34 km/kg, delivering 20-22 kmpl in real-world mixes—running costs stay low at Rs. 2-5/km. The 5-speed manual or AGS auto handles traffic smoothly, and the soft suspension soaks up bumps. It’s no speed demon (0-100 kmph in 12-14 seconds), but it’s a reliable workhorse for urban and highway runs.
Upgraded Safety Features
The 2025 refresh brings six airbags standard, eyeing 3-4 star Bharat NCAP scores. ABS, EBD, rear parking sensors, and ESP (select trims) boost confidence, while child locks and ISOFIX cater to families. The HEARTECT frame absorbs impacts, and seatbelt pre-tensioners add security—solid safety for a sub-Rs. 8 lakh ride without fancy ADAS.
Pricing and Availability
From Rs. 5.3 lakh (LXi 1.0) to Rs. 7 lakh (ZXi+ CNG) ex-showroom, on-road Delhi prices hit Rs. 6-8.2 lakh with taxes/insurance. Launched April 2025, it’s available at Maruti Arena or online with festive deals—Rs. 10k-20k cashback, no-cost EMI, and 3-year warranties. Maintenance runs Rs. 3k-4k/year, with 15-30 day delivery and strong resale value.
