Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.0 [2014-2019] User Reviews

 

Exterior Good Looking , Attractive , Feeling good to Own Wagon R.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seating , Audio System , Boot Space , Head Room Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performanance is good but not smooth , Fuel economy is good as Maruti Car. Need to imrove the Gear box system to allow smooth Gear shifting while driving.

Ride Quality & Handling Depends Upon Driver Skiil, On Wheel is a Good Experience.

Final Words Value for money, Specious, comfortable, Attractive, feel Good factor.

Areas of improvement Gear Shifting, All Is Well In this Car , but as comparison to Other company cars in same catagory it is giving less satisfaction, Chevorlet and Hundai is giving very good options for warranty and maintainance. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is one of the most popular tall boy hatchbacks being sold in India. Now in its third generation avatar, the current Wagon R boasts of a frugal 1.0-litre K-series petrol engine increased cabin space and an aggressive front fascia as compared to the earlier model. It remains a popular choice amongst customers looking to buy their first family hatchback. Power windows and AC is good.

Boot Space , Head room , SeatingGear Shifting is Poor

 

Exterior Inspite of Being better than its previous version, the new Blue Eye Boy lacs on Exterior style. Even the previous model also never known for its external style. The colors used in new Waggy are better and attractive but still the Maruti Suzuki (MS) could not able to give a good look to car. Still Feels somewhat boxy!

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors in VXi model are good.  The dashboard style is impressive & it Gives a luxurious look to inside the car.  The VXi model contains almost all features available in any luxury car except the ABS and Airbags (which are available in its other model which is costlier). 

When it comes to Space.. its simply amazing!!  Waggy is winner in Interior space.  In the Rear seat there is enough legroom.  I am 5 feet 8 inch tall and I have to take back the driving seat for my comfortable driving.  Still same person like me can easity seat on rear seat behind the driver!! MS have surely reduced the boot space but the features like 60:40 and 100% folding seat are great. Which allowes to carry large luggage when there are only 2 or 3 passangers. Seat fabric is bit disappointing.  I was expecting better seat covering fabric. Rear seat adjustable heatrest feature is good which I think no other car of its segment offers.

Adjustable steering is good.  Vxi models comes with Music System which is good but lacs USB port which would be beneficial to use your Pen Drive to store the songs.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As all other new MS car of its segment contain K10B series engine.. this also contain 998cc K10B engine.  The engine capacity is reduced by MS than the previous Waggy.  I really dont know why they did so (it might gave the 0.5 to 1 km more mileage/ltr).  But when your car crosses 1000cc mark it give you much powerful and safer feel.  Hope this engine perform well!! I have not used the car actually on road but by reading reviews of other users and actually my survey by asking people which are driving car on road.. they told me it surely goes beyond 15-16 km/pl without AC on highway and in city 13-14 without AC.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I took one test drive of this car.  The ride was good.  Not much change felt than previous Waggy.

 

Final Words According to me, this car is really good for all first time buyers who have 4-5L budget, with expecting minimal maintainance and good resale value. But the car looks are not trendy.  Even its look is much different than other Cars & it is somewhat in between SUV and a Family Car.

 

Areas of improvement Surely the Looks. Sometimes it feels that..MS is unnecessarily charging additional 30-40 thousands to Waggy just becoz the Waggy has became the Safer and Proven Brand! Even you can check the other car of MS e.g. ESTILO which has almost same features has Rs 10,000 less price and additionally Rs 20,000 to 25,000 thousands discount is offered by MS itself on ESTILO!! they why Waggy is 30000 t- 35000 costlier?? Waggy is really good car no doubt about it but it is costlier by Rs 30000+ than what it should be!!!

 

Good Space in car, Given all the features available in a Luxurious Sedan, Fuel Economy, HandlingLacs on Exterior Style, Price, Height Adjustable Driver Seat not available

 

I just bought a new WagonR Vxi Model. Best in class car available with all the features in a Hatchback car possible. Excellent interiors with in-built audio system (Excellent sound), great looking Dashboard. It looks even better in the night when lights are on.

Air-conditioner is also pretty good, it cools the whole car within 2 mins even in 35-40 degrees temperature. Only thing which is satisfactory is Exterior looks, which can be improved slightly. But its good because of its height, very important factor for heighted people. With a height of 6", I still have lots of space above my head, compared to other hatchback Cars. Excellent Leg-space also if we push the seat back.

Another factor that can be counted on a negative side would the engine. It comes with a 1000cc engine, which restricts its max speed and pick-up to an extent. Otherwise it really can move upto 100 Km/hr in about 15 secs. The best car available with ex-showroom price upto 4L.

Available Features, Spacious, Fuel Economy, Excellent InteriorsExterior looks, Low cc engine

Exterior Nice looks, body colured side glass gives it a good look

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best interior of all the hatchbacks, power windows are good, centrally locking system is good, the one security system is the best part i think is because this all features generally comes in asedan or some costly car, also electric OVRM are good, this gives u the llok of a some sort of luxurious car and if anyone prefer this car is due to its interior.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine perfomance is the drawback of this car. There is some sort of sound constantly coming from engine and pick up of car is not as the old one. Gearbox is ok. Also fuel efficiency with the ac on is comparatively less so and this is all due to three valve engine due to which problem occurs.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is also not good, contant vibrations are coming when speed is above 90 kmh.

Final Words U can go for this car, but if u can find some better altenative than obviously choose that.

Areas of improvement Engine, pickup, Handling, Old wagonR engine was better than the new one, Engine noise should be reduced.

Comfortable Interior and exteriorpick up as specially with AC on

The reason i happen to choose the WagonR was mainly because of it's height (tall boy) and the fact that it was a small car hence driving around inside the city limits would be a boon!! I bought this WagonR Glistening grey in june 2016. The variant i chose was VXi (O) (ABS & DUAL AIRBAGS) Costs a tad above 30k over the regular VXi; but it's worth it. Did have a test drive in the AMT but that was a nightmare thanks to the unresponsive Automatic gearbox. Hence decided to go ahead with the manual one itself. Riding Experience: I would say the ride quality is decent enough but nothing great or something spectacular to mention about. But then again other cars in it's segment aren't any better. (Do not know about the newly launched santro though) Looks & Performance. This is a simple;practical & No-nonsense car. Aimed purely in getting the best out of it. K series engine is quite smooth the gear shifts are pretty good. So nothing much to complain about. Till date have driven close to 20000 kms. Had an issue with the combination switch (Left hand side stalk that controls wiper) Which got spoilt last year. Service center say electrical have only 1 year warranty (Even though my car has 4 years of warranty.. i.e. 2 year Standard + 2 year extended). Did not want to argue or contact the customer care of Maruti for this. Ended up replacing it & costed around 1500 + labour. I am getting a fuel economy of around 13 - 14 in City limits and 17+ in highways. Servicing & maintenance has not been on the higher side; so pretty much happy with it. 10k kms Oil change service costed around 4k change & Routine service costed 2 grands. After owning for 2 years. Here is a list of pros and cons PROS: *Tall boy design makes it practical city car. Ease of Ingress & egress. *No major blind spots. Lots of glass area; makes it very airy and bright inside. *Thoughtful seat under tray. (Serves more like a secret compartment) * Generous space. * Large outside rear mirrors with electric adjust. * Tilt adjust steering wheel (Was not available in the previous versions) CONS * Useless door pockets. Makes it impossible to keep your water bottles anywhere!! * Suitable only for 4 people. * Small Boot space. * No height adjust driver seat. * Quality of plastics could have been better.

Exterior

 Look wise gud. check out from a building top gives  feel of SUV passing. Height wise great.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Seating space and leg space is very comfortable gives a feel of driving while relaxing. No bumping to roof on sudden jumps or jerks.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good Engine performance, Mileage little low but gud gearbox. driving since last three years without any complaints

Ride Quality & Handling

 Pretty handy to drive and good for overtakes internal mirror adjuster is awesome so that you don’t need to open your window during rains or when ac is on. Easy parking options. 

Final Words

Tall persons "go for it" Enjoy the vehicle and the drive. Feel the luxury and AC effects. Makeseveryone sleep in long drives as per comfort is concern.

Areas of improvement  

 Rear wipper, four power window, speaker provision on the doors. Little heavy & stylish dashboard, tube less tyres.

 

Comfort and spacing and size.Back seat is fully foldable only one way. Can go for two way.

 

Exterior 5 star for this car, the build quality is very low.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Like Ritz the quality is good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good, Fuel is better than m800 , gear box is better than any other car.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I was using m800 all these days and i feel wg is more efficient.

 

Final Words If u are a driver and driving is ur religion u would prefer Swift but next to swift obviously waggy.

 

Areas of improvement I am 6.2 and i feel bit cramped in the front. The best part of the car is am able to drive uphill even at 60degree elevation and more over not everywhere we have concrete or thar road. few places we have mud roads . for this i have changed the tyres to 185 . (My neighbour own swift and i have driven hills it will go like heaven but since car is short road clearance is not good. and more over the mileage sucks).

 

i live in Ootakamandalam and the best car for streep hillsnothing

 

Exterior Over all Good looking, mini SUV sexy blue eyes (many stare back at baby on the road).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Tilt steering is good, nice joystick ORVM adj. Audio system is good in performance and nice in looks. Felt gear rod is more leangthy.

Central lock: Integrated Key type is uncomfirtable and it is just used to lock and unlock. We cannot locate the parked car (the remove key does not give any features). Cannot upgrade too, if so we need to attach extra remove and disable old security system buttons on the key (for VXi Maruthi would have give good security system), no coin box or chamber.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Initially felt Engine power less but after second service, the boy is jumping a bit. Nice fuel economy, I drive cautiously and get good milage o 17+ in city 21 on highway. Gear shifting is really enjoyble with Cable type. did not find any problem so far except hard at reverse.

 

Final Words Good service network and happy and proud user.

 

Areas of improvement Seat hight, plastics, Central lock (better security system).

 

Good fuel economy, Style, comfirt.seats are low, Right side blind view during turnings and at junctions

 

Exterior The blue eyed tall boy is definitely the cool dude on the road. The additonal height and chrome finish on the front and rear makes all the more elegant.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice spacious interior with ample leg room for back passengers. More than enough head room for a tall guy (6') like me. Excellent road view, nice dash board with integrated music system and amazing AC. The new additonal features like 2 cup holders and passenger seat tray and much more make it more durable.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance and good mileage of 17kmpl in city drive. Gear shifting is better than the older version.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good!!! Amazing handling and control even on rough roads in Chennai. Tilt steering option is good. Complete and Comfortable driving experience.

 

Final Words When I decided to buy a new car, I reviewed (for almost 6 months) all the cars in the segment from Figo, Beat, Polo, Fabia and i10. But finally selected NEW Wagon R for its amazing value for money and excellent service. I had owned 3 cars (one old Fiat, two Maruti 800 '1996, three Maruti 800 '2001) in the past. Maruti has been THE car for me for the past 14 years. Its only 15 days of buying my new wagon R and have done 800 kms till now. I LOVE MY BLUE EYED BOY!

 

Areas of improvement Too soon to tell. Will write about it in my second review after 5000 kms.
