Come on, it’s just Maruti inflating their sales numbers. To remain on top of the charts they count Tour H3 sales on top of regular WagonR sales. Asking me, it's a bit sneaky.

I'm not too pleased as a WagonR owner. The appeal of seeing my car as a taxi everywhere is kinda ruined. I wish Maruti would keep the commercial and personal things separate.

You guys don't get it. And that makes the Tour H3 great for the taxi market as well as for regular WagonR buyers. That keeps the overall cost of the car down by economies of scale. Win-win!

It totally tanks the resale value, no way. Would anyone want to purchase a used car that looks like a cab? And high mileage ex-taxis flood the market, depressing prices for everyone.

I believe it depends on the buyer. The proven reliability of WagonR in taxi fleets might make it a great deal for some people, and they might see it as a great deal in a used WagonR. For the same reason, others might avoid it.

I’m worried about this as a WagonR owner. My car is something I love, but I don’t know how I’ll sell it when the time comes. Maruti should do better at differentiating the Tour H3 from the normal WagonR.
Is the Maruti Tour H3 really a safer budget taxi than the competition, due to its popularity?

Safer? No way. The car is budget with the usual safety features. Popular doesn't mean safer. I'd much rather have a safe, heavy car with the latest and greatest.

Familiarity is what makes it safe. Because they've taken so many Tour H3 taxis, passengers can easily spot if something's off. It's crowd sourced safety check.

Let’s be honest, it’s probably as safe as any other budget taxi. We just think it must be popular so that makes it safe. These taxi versions should really be upped in the safety game by Maruti.

I think it's safer in terms of crash protection, but maybe not in terms of maintenance. It's great for fuel efficiency but not so great for collisions.
Is Maruti Tour H3's dominance killing innovation in the budget taxi segment?

Is Maruti Tour H3's dominance killing innovation in the budget taxi segment?

Is Maruti Tour H3's dominance killing innovation in the budget taxi segment?
30 December 2024 09:07
We’re thinking about it wrong, I think. It is in the EV space where the real innovation is taking place. Affordable electric taxis will put an end to the days of the Tour H3.

30 December 2024 09:07

Can the Maruti Tour H2’s high fuel efficiency make up for its lack of power for taxi use?
30 December 2024 09:02
Absolutely! Taxi operators are all about fuel efficiency. The lack of power is easily made up for by savings on fuel. You don’t really need that extra oomph in city traffic, anyway.

30 December 2024 09:02
No way. I can tell you as a taxi driver, lack of power is a real issue especially when you’re fully loaded or merging onto highways. It's not just about speed, of course, it's about safety as well.
