Maruti’s most storied nameplate of the modern ear was updated at the start of this year. It arrived three years after a new-generation Wagon R was launched in mid-2019. We have looked at the car in detail and you can watch the video below.
Now, post the launch, we have had more time with the Wagon R (in this AMT guise) and tested it to get its fuel efficiency. The car that we have driven is the 1.2-litre petrol automated manual or AGS, as Maruti has termed it. Powering the Wagon R AMT is Maruti’s 1.2-litre K12C engine producing 89bhp/113Nm and can be had either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automated manual. The ARAI fuel efficiency figure is 24.43kmpl (combined)
Real-world city
In city conditions, the petrol AMT/AGS combination returned an efficiency of 19.31kmpl with the MID indicating 19.80kmpl.
Real-world highway
In highway conditions, the petrol AMT/AGS combination returned an efficiency of 22.34kmpl with the MID indicating 24kmpl.
