The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 2025 has officially been launched in India with a refreshing update to its design, features, and overall driving practicality. Known as one of the most reliable and affordable hatchbacks in the country, the new Wagon R continues to be a perfect match for families, office commuters, and first-time car buyers. Priced between ₹5.79 lakh and ₹7.62 lakh (ex-showroom), it offers improved efficiency, better safety, and enhanced infotainment features—helping it remain one of India’s highest-selling small cars.
Compact and Practical Design
The familiar tall-boy design remains intact in the 2025 edition, now with improved structural durability and styling upgrades. The dimensions stand at 3655 mm long, 1620 mm wide, and 1675 mm high, weighing between 830–850 kg depending on the variant. With a 165 mm ground clearance, it handles uneven city roads, bumps, and speed breakers with ease.
Design highlights now include LED headlamps, sporty 14-inch alloy wheels on higher trims, and new premium body shades such as Pearl Metallic Poolside Blue and Solid White. The cabin continues to offer excellent visibility and headroom, making it extremely comfortable for daily urban driving.
Updated Infotainment and Interior
The interior of the Wagon R 2025 is simple, neat, and purpose-focused. The dashboard now features a modern 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The system is easy to use, even for first-time car owners.
Additional cabin features include a semi-digital instrument cluster, manual AC controls, multiple storage slots, and thoughtfully placed cup holders. The focus remains on practicality rather than premium flash.

- 1.0L Petrol – 67 bhp, 89 Nm

Both petrol engines are paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. Fuel efficiency remains a strong selling point, delivering up to 24.35 km/l in petrol and up to 34.05 km/kg in CNG trims.
