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 ..

Trustworthy car.

One word. Fantastic. Everything in this car is bullet proof. Made to last. I have this car for 14 years and not a single problem. Never stopped. Very easy to drive , currently in high traffic situation. Paint is as good as new. Pros - very less maintenance expenses. Consistent fuel economy. Always have 13 kmpl on city driving. All electrical system build to last. Did many long distance trip like Mumbai to Bangalore 1000km without any issues. Cons- body is light and thin. In case of high speed crash, will not survive.

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.
