Is the Maruti Tour H3 just a WagonR rebadged for taxi fleets?
30 December 2024 09:07
Yes, it’s a rebadged WagonR, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. That's what the Tour H3 is, basically — Maruti's way of saying “Hey, this car is so good and reliable, even taxi drivers want it!” It's a smart business move.
Is the Maruti Tour H3 just a WagonR rebadged for taxi fleets?

30 December 2024 09:07

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.
