5.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Some people may say that they dont like the boxy design, but as far as I'm concerned you wont get a spaciuos car like WagonR if the design is not like this at this budget. If you are too much worried about design dont go for WagonR. WagonR is designed for people who want big spaciuos interiors and thats too within average budget. I have owned other branded premium vehicle, but they are too costly to maintain. People who are suggesting to choose some other brand are not aware about the after sales and service. You will face real difficulty in finding service centers for other branded vehicles and their maintainence cost is too high. I would like to clarify one more thing, if you are expecting a heavy performance based vehicle with premium features, design and interiors dont go for WagonR. Its for middle class family who would like to use the vehicle in an economical way. All the bad reviews sounds like bull shit to me. I dont know why they are comparing this vehicle with top end models.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The best interior space you may get in this range. Its too much spaciuos. You can sit relaxed without any strain for long and short journeys. The wide open doors is an amazing feature which makes the entry easier for very big people. The Vxi model is equipped with all features like power windows, child lock, internally adjustable ovrm, two dom light etc. There is no rear vent for AC, but the AC is powerfull so it can reach rear within no time. The headroom is spacious for enough air circulation inside the cabin. The boot space is less as new wagonR is having an increased interior space for passengers with wide open doors. Even if the boot space is less, you can hold the luggage inside the passenger cabin.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is good. There is a small lag at initial phase but it will be sporty after crossing 2500rpm. With AC, you will feel a lag at first, but it will be fine after 2500 to 3000rpm. As a family oriented car, this engine is too good.
Fuel economy is the best for new k10 series WagonR. I have completed more than 15000Kms in my WagonR and its giving me more than 20Km/L in highways and 16 to 17Km/L in city. Please note that I drove the vehicle at normal speeds (max 70Km/hr) and the gear shifts are done around 2500rpm to 3000 rpm.
Gear box is very light and easy to handle. Its too soft. Engine is very silent. I tried to start the engine when it was running thinking that its not on (now you understand how much silent it is)
Ride Quality & Handling You will enjoy the drive in new WagonR. The handling is good at normal speed range. I m not sure about the handling at higher speeds as I never crossed more than 75Km/hour in my vehicle. The electronic power steering is just nice to tackle in city traffic and in highways.
Final Words Its an awesome car for middle class family with good mileage and performance. Again this car is not for person who want awesome design and racing car like performance. A real tension free car with no complaints. Go for it!!! ( A honest review from a Proud owner of WagonR).
Areas of improvement The plastic quality is definitly a main thing that need to be improved. I'm satisfied with all other specs that WagonR offers.
Thanks for reading!!! :)
