In the run up to its launch on January 23, important details of the new Maruti Suzuki Wagon R have leaked, confirming a number of technical specifications, powertrain information, features and variants.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R powertrain

As we had reported previously, the new Wagon R gets the previously available 68hp, three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine (K10B) and will also be offered with a new 83hp, 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine (K12M) borrowed from Maruti Suzuki’s larger hatchbacks like the Swift and Ignis. Both engines get 5-speed manual and automated manual transmission options. There will also be a CNG option for the new Wagon R, but only on the K10B motor.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R variants

The new Wagon R also gets a re-jigged variant line-up and comes in a total of seven trims. The top-spec ZXi variant on offer replaces the previous model’s top-spec trim, which was a VXi+. The smaller motor will be available only in the lower-spec LXi and VXi trims, while the larger engine is available with the mid-spec VXi and top-spec ZXi variants. The automated manual transmission is offered with the both engines, but only upwards of the VXi trim.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R dimensions
| Maruti Suzuki Wagon R dimensions | ||
| New Wagon R | Old Wagon R | |
| Length | 3655mm | 3599-3636mm |
| Width | 1620mm | 1475-1495mm |
| Height | 1675mm | 1670-1700mm |
| Wheelbase | 2435mm | 2400mm |
| Boot space | 340 litres | 172 litres |
| Tyre size | 155/80 R13-165/70 R14 | 145/80 R13-155/65 R14 |
| Fuel tank capacity | 32 litres | 35 litres |
| Kerb weight | 805-845kg | 870-895kg* |
We also have confirmation that the new Wagon R is quite a bit larger than the outgoing model. The new car is up to 19mm longer, 125mm wider and has a 35mm longer wheelbase (now equal to that of the more expensive Ignis). Interestingly, the new model is about 25mm shorter than the older model (at its tallest) and the fuel tank capacity is 3 litres less at 32 litres. The increase in overall dimensions means that there will definitely be more space in the new Wagon R’s cabin than the outgoing car. Sources tell us that the engine packaging has liberated an additional 85mm of space in the cabin and the increase in wheelbase adds another 30mm to interior space. The new Wagon R’s luggage carrying capacity is far better too.
Another interesting point to note is that the usage of the new Heartect platform has seen weight decrease by about 65kg on the base trim and by about 50kg. Tyres have also been upsized on the new Wagon R.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Safety features and equipment
In order to meet upcoming crash test norms, Maruti Suzuki has made the following equipment standard across the range – a driver’s side airbag, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a seat belt reminder for the driver and front passenger and a speed alert system. While a passenger side airbag will be an option extra on the LXi and VXi trims, the top-spec ZXi will get dual front airbags as standard, along with seat belt pretensioners and load limiters.
We can also confirm that the top-spec ZXi variant will get Maruti’s SmartPlay 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. The mid-spec VXi will get a standard 2-DIN audio system with Bluetooth connectivity.
Other information that has come to light includes the new Wagon R will come in six exterior colour options – white, silver, grey, orange, brown and blue.
The current Wagon R on sale is priced from Rs 4.15 lakh to Rs 5.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Expect Maruti Suzuki to price the new Wagon R as competitively as the old one; starting at Rs 4.5 lakh and going up to Rs 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, it will continue to rival the Hyundai Santro, Datsun Go, Tata Tiago and even Maruti Suzuki’s own Celerio.
