When it comes to Indian city cars, the Maruti Wagon R holds legendary status. But it’s not resting on past glory. With the latest facelift, Maruti Suzuki proves it’s serious about keeping this iconic hatchback relevant, stylish, and smart for the modern driver.
The 2025 Wagon R facelift is more than a design update—it’s a total evolution, with a fresh look, smarter tech, upgraded interiors, and better performance, all while staying true to the affordability and practicality Wagon R is known for.
Evolution
Since its launch in 1999, the Wagon R has been winning hearts across India. Over the years, it has transformed from a no-frills people-mover into a refined city-friendly hatchback that packs utility, reliability, and now, even a bit of flair.
This facelift shows just how far it’s come. Maruti knows its audience—urban drivers, first-time buyers, and small families—and the new Wagon R is tailored precisely for them.
Styling
This isn’t the boxy little hatchback you remember. The facelifted Wagon R gets a refreshed front grille, sharper lines, and more aerodynamic styling cues. LED projector headlamps, daytime running lights, and revised rear tail lamps give it a bold, modern identity.
It still looks upright and roomy, but now it also looks smart and stylish. Bigger wheels, muscular arches, and carefully placed chrome touches make it look far more premium than its price tag would suggest.
Cabin
Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the difference. Maruti has packed the new Wagon R with features and finishes that make it feel more upscale.
The dashboard layout is cleaner and more driver-focused. You get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice commands, and integrated navigation.
Premium fabric seats, quieter cabin insulation, adjustable headrests, and more intelligent storage spaces make every drive more comfortable. Whether you’re tackling morning traffic or planning a weekend escape, the Wagon R’s cabin is built to keep you relaxed.
Engine
You get two reliable engine options:
1.0-litre Petrol
- Great for city commutes
- Light and fuel-efficient
- Delivers consistent power with low running costs
1.2-litre Petrol
- More power for highway and full-family use
- Smooth acceleration
- Balanced fuel efficiency with better torque
Both engines are BS6-compliant and offer optional AMT (automatic) transmissions, perfect for urban traffic. Expect mileage in the range of 22–25 km/l depending on variant and driving style.
Drive
Thanks to its lightweight HEARTECT platform and improved suspension setup, the Wagon R offers better ride quality and handling. It feels more stable at higher speeds and absorbs potholes with ease.
Tight city turns? No problem. With its tall-boy design and high seating position, visibility is excellent, and turning radius is compact enough for narrow streets.
Safety
Maruti has gone big on safety. The Wagon R facelift gets:
- Dual airbags (more in higher variants)
- ABS with EBD
- Rear parking sensors
- Electronic stability control (in some variants)
- Stronger body structure with improved crash protection
The result? A safer, more secure ride for you and your passengers, whether it’s your daily commute or a longer journey.
Utility
Storage, space, and flexibility have always been Wagon R strengths—and they still are. From ample boot space to clever cubbyholes and folding rear seats, it’s a car that’s built to adapt to your lifestyle.
Whether it’s grocery runs, luggage, or weekend drives with family, the Wagon R gives you the room to carry it all without feeling cramped.
Tech
With the facelift, tech takes centre stage. Features include:
- 7-inch infotainment with smartphone connectivity
- Real-time vehicle diagnostics
- Voice controls
- Power windows and electrically adjustable mirrors
- Steering-mounted controls
- USB and charging ports in the front and rear
It’s everything today’s driver expects—smart, fast, and connected.
The new Maruti Wagon R facelift isn’t just a car; it’s a reimagined lifestyle vehicle. With modern tech, better comfort, and the same trusted efficiency, it’s ready to meet the evolving needs of India’s urban families.
