Whenever the history of the Indian automobile industry is written, the Maruti Suzuki WagonR will be cited as one the biggest successes. Critics may have called it boxy, dull and utilitarian, not fun-to-drive and what not. But it proved them all wrong and with its simplistic approach, terrific functionality and gratifying space and affordability, the WagonR has become one of the favourite urban cars of our consumers. The latest new generation WagonR model that was launched recently at a starting price of 4.19 lakh (exshowroom Delhi), not only consolidates and enhances all its core qualities, but also offers new and smarter styling, better driving dynamics and a lot more.

Styling

The new Maruti WagonR is based on the Heartect platform, which means it has the same architecture as its siblings, the Swift, Baleno, Ignis, etc. The Heartect platform is not only much lighter for better performance and fuel efficiency, but with a fair amount of high strength steel being used, it’s also stronger and more rigid for superior safety, handling and also ride comfort.
