A nice touch are the rear AC vents, but I wish they’d thrown in some USB ports for the back passengers.

I am willing to compromise for the hybrid efficiency. You can't have everything in this size class.

Higher variants get a panoramic sunroof that makes the rear feel much more spacious and airy.
Does the larger 7 seater WagonR make economic sense compared to larger MPVs?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's been a game changer for my family. The WagonR, a 7 seater, gives us that flexibility when we need it, we couldn’t afford an Ertiga. Also, it's a lot more fuel efficient than other larger MPVs. It’s all about being smart about compromises.

I don't see the point. What are you saving? A couple of lakhs? You are compromising on space and comfort. In the long run, it's better to stretch your budget to a proper MPV. The WagonR is a half measure.

It depends on your use case. If you need seven seats a day, a bigger car is the way to go. However, the WagonR seems to make sense for occasional use. It's cheaper to run, easier to park, and you still have that extra capacity when you need it.

I've done the numbers, and the 7 seater WagonR can be more economical, just so long as you're smart about it. The savings at the beginning are nice, but you also have to consider things like the wear and tear from having a full load all of the time.

People are missing the point, I think. This isn't about taking away from full size MPV; it is about adding versatility to the small car segment. It's the difference for many between a 7 seater or not. That's valuable.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's reasonably safe for city use, I think. If Maruti wouldn't release it, it must have met safety standards. Common sense will do, though — don't overload it, and perhaps don't take it on long highway trips with a full load.

Are you kidding? It’s a disaster waiting to happen cramming seven people into a car that small. The crumple zones have to be small, and I can't imagine that the third row has any real protection in a rear end collision.

It's all relative. How safe is it compared to a Volvo XC90? Of course not. It's a big step up, however, compared to people who cram into auto rickshaws or onto motorcycles. It is about safety within a budget.
Is the 7 seater WagonR safe with the full load of passengers?
30 December 2024 10:16
I’ve done some research on the safety features and they seem ok on paper. I'm skeptical how they would perform in a real crash with full load. Honestly, I’d feel safer in a larger vehicle.

Come on, safety in India isn’t just about car, it’s also about defensive driving. If kept well and driven carefully, the 7 seater WagonR can be good as family use car.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
It won't hurt Ertiga sales much I think. An Ertiga is bought by people who want that extra space and comfort. The 7 seater WagonR is for a different crowd, those that occasionally need extra seats but don’t want a big car.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
Ertiga sales are definitely going to eat into this. Why spend more on an Ertiga when you can get 7 seats in a cheaper and more fuel efficient package? Maruti are shooting themselves in the foot here.

30 December 2024 10:16
I think Maruti are covering all their bases. Sure, some people might pick the WagonR over the Ertiga, but they are still buying a Maruti. It’s about retaining customers within the brand, regardless.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
I’m an Ertiga owner and I’d say there’s no comparison. The WagonR 7 seater might be good for some, but for regular use with seven people you need the space of a proper MPV. I believe there will be little overlap and they will coexist.
Will the 7-seater WagonR eat into sales of other Maruti models such as the Ertiga?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's a smart move by Maruti. What they are creating, effectively, is a new segment between hatchbacks and compact MPVs. It will take some sales from other brands' smaller cars, but will probably skim some Ertiga sales.
Is the 7 seater WagonR a gimmick or does it actually suit families?
30 December 2024 10:16
It's certainly more than a gimmick. I’ve used one for my family of five plus grandparents and it works great for short trips around the city. It's not ideal for long journeys but for running errands, or going to see a movie, it's perfect. It's a lot cheaper than getting a bigger car and the kids love sitting in the back.

No, it’s just Maruti trying to sell more WagonR’s with that name. You’ve seen how cramped that third row is, right? Even for small kids it’s barely suitable, not to mention adults. If you can live with the 5 seater version, you’ll get the extra boot space when you need it.
