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 ..

Polo is a great car

The Polo is a great buy if you won’t be using the rear seats often, and need nothing but a well-built car to tackle the daily grind Loaded with features such as automatic AC, touchscreen infotainment, auto-dimming mirror etc. Available with a variety of engine-transmission options. Build quality inside out is best-in-class. Doors close with a thunk, no trace of scratchy plastics in the interior. Clean, no-frills design looks classy and understated.

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.
