Fasten your seatbelt to experience the Indian roads on the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 2025- a hatchback with the love story shinning since 1999. The practical and affordable legend, this tall-boy has emerged with the new updates which include the integration of new technology, improved safety, and excellent fuel economy. The 2025 model Wagon R will surely keep the name alive maintaining the legacy and will serve the needs of the modern driver. With the sales reaching more than 3.4 million units in India alone, the wagon R remains a household name.
Design
The 2025 Wagon R does not miss the long-body design it has come to be known for, famously used to traverse the city traffic. The exterior changes are minimal such as a thinner front grille, new headlights and a redefined bumper with a sprinkling of chrome to create a premium feel. There are newer dual-tone color schemes such as Pearl Bluish Black with Gallant Red and more sportier alloy wheels which give it a younger appeal. Its size 3655 mm x 1620 mm x 1675 mm makes it easy to park and it has high ground clearance of 165 mm that easily clears speed bumps.
Contemporary Interiors
Open a door, and you are surprised with the spaciousness in the Wagon R 2025. The modern sophistication of the dual-tone grey-cream dashboard is well augmented by a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment (entry and mid trim) or the 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ (top variant). Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connect you to the rest of the world, and there is generous space with five-adult seating and an array of legroom that is enhanced by improved seat cushioning. It has a practical 341 litres boot that expands with split 60:40 rear seats.
Engine
The Wagon R 2025 is powered by 2 available E20-compatible petrol engines as well as an option of CNG. The 1.0-litre (K10C) engine produces 66.62 bhp and 89 Nm of power to fuel city runs. Their hunger to experience greater power may be satisfied by the 1.2-litre K12N that yields 88.50 bhp and 113 Nm, and is ideal on the highway. Both engines make use of a 5-manual or AMT to allow smooth performance. The CNG version which comes with LXi and VXi trims has an incredible 33.47 km/kg range and is therefore budget friendly.
Safety Makes A Giant Step
There is also the added feature of six airbags as standard across all models a rare feature in this segment. The Wagon R also features ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill-hold assist and rear parking sensors. A three-point rear centre seatbelt is now used instead of the lap belt, adding safety. It has a one-star Global NCAP rating because of light weight but these upgrades conform to the new safety standards.
Economy And Gas Mileage
The Wagon R 2025 boasts of its fuel efficiency of 2425 km/l of petrol and 33747 km/kg in CNG and would be appealed by those with tight budgets. With a price range of 5.79 lakh to 7.62 lakh (ex-showroom) it is affordable and it comes with a benefit of a 50000 cashback on selected models. Its number of low maintenance costs and the service network of Maruti all over the country are other factors which make it so popular.
