Wagon R 2025:- The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 2025 is a leading entry-level hatchback in India, combining compact design, fuel efficiency, updated features, and improved safety, making it ideal for urban and semi-urban driving needs. It retains its functional tall-boy silhouette with a spacious interior and a choice of efficient petrol and CNG engines, appealing to budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable daily commuter.
Design and Dimensions
The 2025 Wagon R measures 3,655 mm in length, 1,620 mm in width, and 1,675 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,435 mm. This configuration ensures stable highway performance and ample cabin space for five passengers. A ground clearance of 165 mm empowers it to handle various Indian road conditions, from potholes to speed breakers. The exterior features subtle updates like body-colored bumpers and alloy wheels on higher trims, with nine available colors including premium options like Pearl Metallic Gallant Red and Pearl Bluish Black. Inside, the dual-tone dashboard and upright seating enhance comfort and reduce fatigue on long drives. The boot space is 341 liters, slightly reduced for CNG variants due to the tank placement.
Powertrain and Performance
The Wagon R 2025 offers two main petrol engine options: a 1.0-liter K10C engine producing 67 PS and 89 Nm torque and a 1.2-liter K12N engine delivering 90 PS and 113 Nm torque. Both engines come with a choice of 5-speed manual or AMT (Auto Gear Shift) transmissions. The CNG version of the 1.0-liter could deliver an impressive mileage of around 33.47 km/kg. Overall fuel efficiency for petrol versions ranges from 23.56 to 25.19 kmpl. All engines comply with the E20 fuel standard and offer smooth running with reduced emissions. Suspension is tuned for urban comfort, with good rough-road handling but some body roll at higher speeds. A planned Flex-Fuel variant for late 2025 will support E20-E85 ethanol blends.
Features and Comfort
The Wagon R 2025 balances essential convenience and technology well. Top variants (e.g., ZXi+) host a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with steering-mounted controls and a four-speaker audio setup. Other comfort features include automatic climate control, rear AC vents, cooled glovebox, and electrically adjustable ORVMs. The lightweight HEARTECT platform helps in crash energy absorption while enabling a spacious cabin layout. Traffic and parking usability are enhanced by a light steering feel and optional AMT gearbox.
Safety features are significantly upgraded in the 2025 model. All variants now include six airbags (up from dual front airbags
