Expert Test Review
Today, the Wagon R continues to sell in healthy numbers and is always among the top 4-5 selling cars in the Indian market in terms of monthly sales figures. It isn’t a very modern or a beautiful looking hatchback – what it easily retains is its tall boy look. The new version has grown in every department and is now an overall bigger vehicle too. Dimension wise, the Wagon R 3595mm long, stands 1700mm tall and is 1495mm wide. The new Wagon R has some changes. The new Wagon R gets exterior and interior updates which are designed to make it look fresher. We think the front end now looks much better. The new grille has become more narrow and the front bumper now has a bigger air dam plus there are new look fog lamps as well. However it is all not just cosmetic as the front upper grille has also been designed to reduce air borne noise. The Lxi and Vxi get a chrome front grille.The Wagon R was always known and appreciated for its practical and roomy interiors. Ofcourse there is acres of head room around and the tall body with big windows adds to the overall airy feeling inside. The upgraded version got a completely revamped cabin which now makes this car look upmarket and classy for this price segment. Getting into a commanding driving position is pretty easy. At the back, with short to medium size front passengers, knee room is pretty impressive.. On the inside the changes are more subtle with the interiors getting a beige/black combo look which again lifts the cabin ambience to some extent. The top of the line Vxi gets beige seats while the Lx and Lxi gets dual coloured ones. The music system has also been upgraded and you now get USB, though you get this in higher variants only. Its also more practical now with a Push type I/P upper storage box.The new Wagon R is now powered by the 1.0litre KB series engine that puts out 68PS of power 90Nm of torque. With a kerb weight that ranges between 860 and 885, the relatively light weight tall-boy car makes the most use of this engine and doesn’t really a chance for any complain. The engine does have its typical three-cylinder sound (or noise if you want to call it) but in daily usage, it turns out be a fairly capable with a very efficient nature.The car maker claims 20.51 kmpl which is just brilliant.Out on the highway as well, the Wagon R has a stable feel. Triple digit speeds are easy and you don’t have a reason to complain even on hilly roads or corners at normal speeds. The steering is of the electric variety which means it is super light at low speeds. Now this is a huge boon for city usage and this combined with an excellent driver’s view means this is one of the best cars in the segment for city usage. Maruti also offers optional ABS. In typical driving conditions, ie, city roads that aren’t always smooth, the Wagon R does a remarkable job. The suspension soaks up most bumps without making the ride uncomfortable. It is only the bigger obstacles which tend to unsettle the car.The CNG variant is now priced at Rs 4.42 lakh while the top-end Vxi variant will set you back by 4.13 lakh. The new Wagon R in Lxi trim is priced at Rs 3.88 lakh ex-showroom. The cheapest is Rs 3.58 lakh for the base model. For a detailed analysis read below
To summarize, the changes are:
1. Refreshed Exteriors
2. Newly designed front Bumper.
3. New grille design.
4. Sporty fog lamp bezel design.
5. Chrome accentuated elegant front grille (Lxi,Vxi)
6. Front upper grille designed to reduce air borne noise.
7. Dual tone interior color scheme (Beige & black).
8. Complete beige seats : Vxi and Beige and black combination : Lx, Lxi
9. New Eagle wings Audio with integrated USB (Vxi)
10. Push type I/P upper storage box: Ergonomically designed in Instrument panel for easy accessibility.
11. Useful to store cans, ladies accessories and many other utility items.
12. Day/ Night Inside rear view mirror: Helps reduce glare and reflections during night driving.

Interiors
The Wagon R was always known and appreciated for its practical and roomy interiors. Ofcourse there is acres of head room around and the tall body with big windows adds to the overall airy feeling inside. The upgraded version got a completely revamped cabin which now makes this car look upmarket and classy for this price segment. Getting into a commanding driving position is pretty easy. At the back, with short to medium size front passengers, knee room is pretty impressive. The floor is almost flat which aids when three people are sitting at the back. Worthy of a mention are the rear doors that open quite wide. On the inside the changes are more subtle with the interiors getting a beige/black combo look which again lifts the cabin ambience to some extent. The top of the line Vxi gets beige seats while the Lx and Lxi gets dual coloured ones. The music system has also been upgraded and you now get USB, though you get this in higher variants only. Its also more practical now with a Push type I/P upper storage box.

The Suzuki Wagon R is a kei car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki since 1993. The R in the name stands for Recreation. It is one of the first cars to use the "tall wagon" or "tall boy" design, in which the car is designed to be unusually tall with a short bonnet and almost vertical hatchback, and sides in order to maximize the cabin space while staying within the kei car dimension restrictions.
The Wagon R has been the best-selling kei car in Japan since 2003;[1] and in 2008, Suzuki expected to produce its three-millionth Wagon R.[2]
It has been a profitable car for Suzuki even in the International market, mainly since introducing the car inIndia. Sales of Suzuki Wagon R have reached 5 million units at the end of February 2010.
First generation (1993–2006)[edit]
The first generation Wagon R is 1,640 millimetres (64.6 in) high, or 255 millimetres (10.0 in) taller (170 mm (6.7 in) internally) than the JDM Suzuki Alto sold at the same time (which was exactly the same length and width). The R used the same 660 cc F6Athree-cylinder engines as did the Alto and other Suzuki kei cars. Originally with two doors on the left side and a single door on the right (driver's) side, it was introduced at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show.[3] Later cars received the more common, symmetrical five-door setup. For model year 1994, it won the Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan.
The rebadged Mazda AZ Wagon was presented in September 1994. Also using the F6A engine, this model was marketed through Mazda's Autozam network as part of an OEM deal.[4]
A bigger first generation Wagon R, the Suzuki Wagon R+, was added in early 1997 and manufactured in Japan until the end of 2000 for the European market. The car featured a wider body and the K10Anaturally aspirated engine with 996 cc and four-cylinders. The same Wagon R+ was also available with a 1.2 litre K12A engine.
In Indonesia, this generation is called the Suzuki Karimun and in production from 1999 until 2006.
Second generation (1998–2010)[edit]
1998 saw the introduction of the second-generation Wagon R in Japan, with the redesign of the Wagon R+ and replacing it in 1999 - this was brought to Europe in 2000, with larger engines. This is also produced in Esztergom in Hungary by Magyar Suzukiand Gurgaon, India. The Opel Agila is a badge engineeredversion of the Suzuki Wagon R+, also introduced in summer 2000. This generation Maruti Wagon R in India was produced until 2010.
Third generation (2003–2008)[edit]
The third generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in September 2003 for the Wagon R's tenth Anniversary, but now only as a 660 ccK6A-engined kei car - no oversized version (like the previous Wide and + versions) was developed. The third generation was then facelifted in September 2005 and replaced three years later.
The Stingray, first seen in February 2007, was a sportier version of the third generation Suzuki Wagon R. In addition to a more aggressive front end treatment, the Stingray also received clear taillights. Alloy wheels and an aero kit were also standard. The 660cc engine was powered by a turbocharger, further enhancing the speed and acceleration.On average, the Stingray went from 0 km/H to 100 km/H in about 15 seconds.
Fourth generation (2008–2012)[edit]
The fourth generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in September 2008 along with the sportier Stingray, AZ-Wagonand AZ Wagon Custom variant (the latter two manufactured forMazda). Significant differences for the new generation include larger rear doors, which incorporate quarter glass, eliminating the need for a D pillar arrangement. Powertrain options include naturally aspirated and turbocharged 660 cc engines with the latter developing an output of 64 PS (47 kW), mated to a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission. As with many other Japanese market models, customers can choose between front-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions.
Suzuki in Pakistan (PakSuzuki) is known to be starting the local assembly of the WagonR in their Pakistan plant from April 2014.
Fifth generation (2012–present)[edit]
The fifth generation Wagon R range was launched in Japan in September 2012 and for the first time, this generation now comes with the a new mild-hybridsystem named "ENE-CHARGE" (short for 'energy charge') and an energy-saving electric air conditioning system dubbed "ECO-COOL". With the R06A engine combined with an electric motor/generator and a lithium-ion battery, this new ENE-CHARGE provides regenerative braking and at least some level of power assist to the internal combustion engine while it can also run certain electrical equipment. Thanks to this technology, the new Wagon R can get up to 28.8 km/l in Japan's JC08 driving cycle (67.8mpg US, 3.5lt/100 km EU or 81.4mpg UK).
For its Mazda version, it no longer bears the "AZ-Wagon" nomenclature because the fifth-generation Wagon R models are rebadged as Mazda Flair while fifth-generation Wagon R Stingray models are rebadged as Mazda Flair Custom Style.Both the Flair and the Flair Custom Style were launched in October 2012.[5]
Wagon R-Wide[edit]
The Wagon R-Wide, introduced in February 1997, is a slightly larger car, exceeding the kei car specifications, with larger engines: 996cc (K10A, 48 kW/88Nm), 996cc Turbo (JDM, New Zealand and Australia only, K10A, 73 kW/118Nm) and 1.2 (K12A, 51 kW/93Nm) litre engine. The Wagon R-Wide was sold as the Wagon R+ in the European market (also introduced in the same year) with the atmospheric versions of the 1.0 K10A and the 1.2 K12A. The only other tall wagon style car sold in Europe around the time of its introduction was the Daihatsu Move. The car was made in Japan. It was not galvanised and it was prone to rust, specially in the sills, after years of use in Central and Northern Europe. The Wagon R-Wide was slightly facelifted in May 1998, and this updated Wagon R-Wide was also sold in Europe under Wagon R+. In Europe the first generation was sold from 1997 until May 2000.
When the second generation Wagon R-Wide was launched in May 1999, this became the Wagon R+ in Japan as well. This updated version started sales in the European market in the summer of 2000. The main difference between the JDM Wagon R-Wide/+ and the European Wagon R+ is the door handles, which on JDM models were body-colored while European models received black door handles.
In December 2000, the Japanese-spec model was renamed Wagon R-Solio, and this was available both in the bottom-of-the-line X trim level and in a more sports-oriented trim level known as the 1.3. In June 2002, the 1.0 E trim level was added to the Wagon R-Solio lineup. In August 2003, a mid-facelift Wagon R-Solio was released. In April 2004, the Wagon R-Solio was renamed Solio, losing the Wagon R moniker entirely. In August 2005, a facelifted Solio was launched.
However, the original Wagon R+ was still offered in Europe after December 2000, but made by Magyar Suzuki in Esztergom, Hungary. This was because it was too difficult for either the Wagon R-Solio or Solio to meet with Euro NCAP crash safety ratings. As a result, the Wagon R+ continued in Europe until late 2008, when replaced by the Splash.
While the Kei-version of the Wagon R went through third and fourth generations, the wider Solio remained in its second generation until undergoing a full model change in December 2010. The third generation Solio is based on the Suzuki Palette instead of the Wagon R, although the Palette itself uses the Wagon R's platform. This generation of Solio (MA15) also provides the basis for an OEM deal with Mitsubishi, rebadged as the Mitsubishi Delica D:2, which was released in March 2011.[6] In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.
It is currently unknown if the new Solio will be exported to India or not. If so, it will commence sales in either late 2011 or early 2012 as Maruti Suzuki Solio, and will be modified and Indianized to be unique to the price bracket for that country, in comparisons to the Wagon R and the Estilo.[7][8][9]
International[edit]
The Hungarian-built Wagon R+ is still being produced for the European market (Wagon R-Solio and Solio are not sold), albeit with limited range and availability (it is no longer for sale inIreland, for example). As of 2006 in the UK, only one model is available - the GL, with a 1.3 litre (1289 cc) 16 valve 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering 59 kW (80 PS; 79 hp), ABS with EBDand air conditioning as options. The current model is 3,540 mm (139.4 in) x 1,620 mm (63.8 in) x 1,695 mm (66.7 in) (length x width x height), with a claimed 597 litres (21.1 cu ft) of cargo space.
In 2000 until 2007, the Wagon R+ is rebadged as Opel Agila. The Agila was built at an Opel factory in Gliwice, Poland and used Opel Engines and transmissions. The last Agila was a rebadged Splash.
In Europe and elsewhere, the Solio has been replaced by the Splash in late 2008.
In Indonesia, the car is called Suzuki Karimun[10] from 1999 until 2006 and offered with a 1000 ccpetrol engine, whilst in China it forms the base for both the Changhe-Suzuki Big Dipper (Beidouxing) andChanghe-Suzuki F-MPV. The Big Dipper is available with an indigenously built 1.0 based on the old F10A, or with the more modern 1.4 liter K14B engine.[11]
In some Latin American counties such as Colombia, the Wagon R+ was sold under General MotorsChevrolet marque.

The Maruti Wagon R is an Indian version of the international Suzuki Wagon R, manufactured and sold by Suzuki's Indian subsidiary Maruti Suzuki. The Wagon R was launched in December 1999, and has since undergone three upgrades (one in 2003, another in 2006 and another in 2010). When the second-generation Wagon R was launched in 2010, the car was built on a newer platform, and claimed more interior space, and new features such as an under-seat tray below the front passenger seat (top-end only). Its looks were also revamped, shedding the boxy look at the back. It was now less van-like, becoming simply another affordable hatchback, albeit with somewhat taller styling. It is one of the best selling models of Maruti Suzuki in India and continues to be the fourth best seller of the company after Alto every month.
Originally all Indian Wagon Rs received Suzuki's 1.1 L F10D petrol engine producing 64 bhp (48 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb·ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm. The newly launched Wagon Rs are powered by the company's well known K series engine. This K10B petrol engine benefits from a 5 speed manual transmission gearbox. The aluminum K10B engine of Maruti is very light and produces a power of 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp) at 6,200 rpm and a torque of 90 N·m (66 lb·ft) at 3,200 rpm. Also, a new LPG version called DUO has been introduced lately for the F10D engined variants, which runs either on petrol andLPG.
Initial launch[edit]
Maruti's launch of the car may have been ill-timed. Despite being one of the world's first tall-boy van styled passenger cars (along with models from Daihatsu and Daewoo), the Wagon-R was not first-to-market in India. The Wagon R's bread-box shape did not immediately cut ice with the Indian consumer and the car saw slow sales initially.
The Hyundai Santro (Hyundai Atos in Europe) was the first tall-boy design to hit the Indian roads. It preceded the Maruti-Suzuki Wagon R by a two-year lead and remains the Wagon R's main competitor.
Specifications[edit]
Along with the recent changes, the internal controls have also been given a more sportier look with bright metal finish.
Other features new in the VXi (the top end manual transmission model) are electrically adjustable outside rearview mirrors. This is the first on any B-Segment car in India.
The latest Indian model (2010) called Wagon R 1.0, is powered by the new, more efficient 3-cylinder 998 cc K10B engine, which can also be found in the Maruti-Suzuki A-Star, Maruti-Suzuki Estilo, and more recently the Maruti-Suzuki Alto. The engine delivers 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp) at 6,200 rpm, and 90 N·m (66 lb·ft) at 3,500 rpm.
Driving impressions[edit]
Light kerb weight (750–775 kg) makes for a nimble car with good acceleration and a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph) . The car's fuel economy is somewhere in the range of 12 to 13 km/l (7.7 to 7.1 l/100 km) in city driving and 16 to 18 km/l (5.6 to 5.0 l/100 km) on the highway. Though the car has 13 inch wheels, the tyres are in different sizes for LXi & VXi variants. The recent launch (third version) in India comes with gas filled suspensions for smoother rides.[13]
Maruti Suzuki is launching WagonR CNG, available at around Rs. 4.5 lakhs. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R LXi CNG comes equipped with a 1-litre engine, which churns out a maximum power of 59 PS and peak torque of 77 Nm. This engine runs on bi-fuel mode, which means that it is compatible with both petrol as well as CNG.[14]
The car is priced between Rs. 350,000 (LX) to Rs. 485,000 (VXi with ABS and Air bag).

Karimun Wagon R is a rebadge of the Suzuki Wagon R to suit the Indonesian government’s Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) policy. Its production has started from September 2013 at the Tambun, Bekasi Plant for sales in the Indonesian domestic market and Pakistani market. The Karimun Wagon R is scheduled to meet the LCGC approval requirements by realizing low fuel consumption and increasing the local procurement rate. Its official name is Suzuki Indomobil Karimun Wagon R. It comes with 3 trims : GA as standard, GL, Dilago and GX with better equipment such as Roof Rail, sporty cluster meter and power windows, while under seat tray and keyless entry key are for GX trims only.[15]
The car follows the five elements of the LGCC policy dubbed "S.U.P.E.R.", an acronym for "Spacious, Useful, Practical, Efficient, and Reasonable".
The sportier version based on the Stingray, called Karimun Wagon R GS, was launched in September 2014. Versions with 5-speed AMT appeared later in May 2015. Dubbed the "AGS", an abbreviation for "Auto Gear Shift", this is basically a 5-speed manual with a hydraulic-powered transmission control unit to allow the manual transmission shift gears automatically.[16]
