Indian families have long accepted the Maruti Suzuki WagonR, and the 2025 model builds on that trust. All versions of the WagonR now come with six airbags as standard, up from two airbags before. This fits with Maruti Suzuki’s promise to put safety first, even in cars that aren’t very expensive. The hatchback also meets the standards for E20 fuel compatibility, which means it will be ready for the future when India switches to gasoline mixed with ethanol.
Identity not changed, experience improved
- The WagonR 2025 makes some small but important changes to the basic tall-boy form, which makes it easier to get in and out and gives the interior more space.
- You can choose between a 1.0L or 1.2L gasoline engine that meets BS6 Phase 2 standards and comes with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT transmission.
- Mileage: The gasoline models get up to 25 km/l, and the CNG model gets an amazing 34 km/kg.
Comfortable cabins in two colours, a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, controls on the steering wheel, and a large trunk make it useful for both city and highway use.
Still a Sales Champion
The WagonR keeps topping the sales charts. It was the best-selling car of FY 2025 and, as of June 2025, the second-best-selling hatchback, with 12,930 units sold. This shows that buyers like how reliable, affordable, and useful it is.
Value and Price
It came out in April 2025 and costs between ₹5.64 lakh and ₹7.47 lakh (ex-showroom). This is a ₹13,000–15,000 price hike compared to the previous model, but the added safety features and new technology make it worth it. Some sellers are also giving discounts of up to ₹67,100, which makes the deal even better.
A Clear Message to Threats
The WagonR 2025 sends a strong message to competitors like the Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios by adding six airbags, engines that are ready for E20, and high-end features without raising the price. Maruti Suzuki isn’t just trying to keep its top spot as India’s best-selling car brand; it’s also setting a new standard for what cheap hatchbacks in India should offer.
