Most Helpful Review

Value for money

Need to improve rear a/c, need ac vent And interior, wheel base at least 2500,provide touch screen with 360d camera,spoiler,carpet etc. Little more premium car feel and outlook will needed ..

Money making racket!

My switch from the passenger's side stoped working, hence I went to the station, but to my surprise they told me that I had to change the whole panel which is 3000rs for one switch that does not work. Please provide child parts for this problem, it just show way Honda trys to make money on something so small. That would cost me 500rs, they are charging me 3000rs to change the whole panel which in no way is damaged for me to change. A simple switch change, is costing me the whole panel I find this ridiculous.

Best in its segment

Great overall the experience of driving it for the first time was insane, had smooth go, I'd say best amongst its competitors..

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel — First Look

By Ninad Ambre22 Jan 2023

The way things are being planned, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel (FF) is set to become India's first mass-segment flex-fuel car. It's one of the answers to the never-ending quest for alternative fuels for cars. The Wagon R FF is designed to run on any ethanol-petrol blend and will eventually help reduce tailpipe emissions. It also goes without saying it will comply with the upcoming and more stringent BS6 phase-II emission norms. The prototype exhibited at Maruti's pavilion at the 2023 Auto Expo looked exactly the same as the standard Wagon R on sale in India, save for the fluorescent badging. We believe the 'Flex-Fuel' branding on the side will be mellowed down in the production avatar. However, the bright green embellishments may be retained to display its green, environment-friendly avatar.
