WAGON R REVIEW AFTER 4 YEARS AND 55K KM

Exterior Exterior is beautiful, this blue eyed car stands tall and beautiful. Maruti Suzuki worked excellent on making a Wagon look like a beautiful car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Tall driver seating posture gives you a good visibility all four sides and confidence on road. Dashboard is dual tone and looks good. Dashboard on left side has two lid open storage spaces which are very usable and are lacking in may cars. Gear is positioned well and in good reach. My car lacks tachometer but it is available in higher variants, Display lacks door open indicator and thus you have to depend on the lights present overhead which remain ON if door is not closed properly.  Fuel efficiency indicator would have been a valuable addition. The width of car is too less which you can feel it on front row as well as back row seats. Front row seating is too close to each other, spoce below the steering wheel is bit boxy and has square edges which hurt your legs, right knee of driver touches the door and you feel extremely cramped. Rear seat accomodates two, three persons of average size and it gets very very uncomfortable. Good Head Room. Door lacks bottle holders. Doors come with child lock which are present on rear doors, if the are present on the left front door too, it would have been better. I have a CNG Car and hence its not possible for me to comment on boot space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very relaible, smooth, refined, but the new Wagon R have not been given the New K NXT Engine, New celerio and K10 are given K NXT Engines. This engine roars above 90 km/hr speed, though you dont feel the vibrations much but the sound is evident. I also have celerio K NXT and its much better, AC is excellent, gearbox is smooth. CNG average is consistently above 25 km/kg but petrol average is roughly 15-16 km/L. I had a talk with some people and got to know that CNG Fitted cars generaal ygive poor petrol average, amongst them company fitted CNG cars are better than the CNG fitting done at private centres.

Ride Quality & Handling Wagon R is truely speaking a city car for Four. less width makes it very good in pulling out from congested roads, parking is easy. But it comes with a price of unstability. Less Width and more hight shifts its centre of gravity upwards and thus makes it more unstable, specially on higher speed and on the curves. City handling is fine as most of the time we hardly speed up over 40-50 kmph.

Final Words Family car for four members for city driving only with a good CNG Average but poor petrol efficiency.

Areas of improvement Car should me more broader.
