Maruti WagonR (2018) Updates

Friday, 15 November 2024 12:35 AM Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that there will be no 7-seater version of the 2018 WagonR launched in India. This decision is likely due to the existing market demand and competition in the compact car segment. I think this focus on the standard model will help them maintain quality and market presence.

Wednesday, 23 January 2019 06:01 AM The 2018 Maruti WagonR has been launched in India on January 23, 2019, with a new design and features. It adopts the HEARTECT platform, making it wider and roomier. The car is available with both 1.0L and 1.2L petrol engines, enhancing fuel efficiency and comfort. I think this new platform will significantly improve the cars safety and performance.

Wednesday, 23 January 2019 10:44 AM Maruti Suzuki has invested Rs. 670 crores in the new WagonR, reflecting its importance in the market. The car is built on the HEARTECT platform, shared with other Maruti models like the Swift and Baleno. This platform is known for its high strength and rigidity. I believe this investment will pay off with better sales and customer satisfaction.

Wednesday, 23 January 2019 10:34 PM The 2018 Maruti WagonR is produced at the Manesar Plant and sold through Maruti Suzuki’s Arena channel. It has been highly valued by customers since its launch in India in 1999, with over 2.2 million units sold. I believe this new generation will continue to be a best-seller.

Wednesday, 23 January 2019 09:12 AM The cars paint quality is good, and Maruti is offering interesting colors like Autumn Orange and Poolside Blue, along with conservative options like Superior White and Silky Silver. The front end of the car has a neutral and inoffensive design, which is an improvement over the previous model. I think the color options will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Wednesday, 23 January 2019 06:57 PM The new WagonR weighs between 805 kg and 830 kg, depending on the engine, which is relatively lightweight. This lightweight nature contributes to better fuel efficiency and handling. I believe this will make the car more enjoyable to drive.

Sunday, 18 February 2018 10:34 AM The 2018 Maruti WagonR is priced between Rs. 4.20 - 5.70 lakhs (ex-Delhi), making it an affordable option in the compact car segment. The 1.2L engine option is particularly appealing for just Rs. 20,000 more than the 1.0L version. I think this pricing strategy will attract many buyers.

Sunday, 18 February 2018 06:08 PM The new WagonR has a more spacious cabin due to its increased width and wheelbase. It also features a torsion beam rear suspension and comes with two reverse parking sensors. The cars build quality, although improved, still shows some flex in the front fenders and doors. I believe the added space will be a major selling point.

Wednesday, 14 February 2018 10:59 AM The new Maruti WagonR features split headlamps and a more rounded appearance compared to its predecessor. It is 60 mm longer and 125 mm wider, with a longer wheelbase of 2,435 mm. The car also has a lower height of 1,675 mm. I think the new design makes it look more mature and practical.

Wednesday, 14 February 2018 12:03 PM Safety features in the 2018 Maruti WagonR include a driver airbag, ABS + EBD, rear parking sensors, front seatbelt reminder, and high speed alert as standard across all variants. The car also uses high strength steel to improve safety and rigidity. I hope these features will improve the cars safety record.
