Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.0 [2014-2019] User Reviews

Exterior The new Wagon R comes with good looks with good styling of head lamps and blue eyed boy style, over all looks is very nice. Car body not so solid.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ok, space and comfort is very good and value of money, good leg and head room space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance of Wagon R Lxi CNG model is very nice and too far better then retro fitted cng from market , you will not be able to notice the power drop and fuel switching at all with ac on as well, engine is adequately powered 998 cc for comfy and faster rides. Fuel economy is far better then other hatchbacks, it has given me a 19 kmpl with petrol and 26 on cng in city, well it all depends upon riding style. CNG filling is very comfortable and the nozzle is situate just beside petrol filling. Gearbox has been newly designed with wire shift mechanism and is so smooth you will hardly notice the gear changes.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth and long distances can be covered without hesitation, handling is superior and gives great pleasure not tireness after driving, Its electronic power steering is very good and comfortable for city drives.

Final Words I have driven my Wagon R CNG for 56000 kms and quit satisfed with the performance which it gives.As I lives in NCR so no problem of CNG.It reached to Jim Crobet(Ram Nagar) in one cylinder refilled from Delhi.Look how cheaper it is and no problem at all.It gave 29+ average on highway on 100 plus speed. Misinformation like CNG is bad for engine is all rubbish as all car manufacturers can not provide cng fitted cars, maruti is giving one year extra warranty on all its cng vehicles.It is partical for daily commuters and also great for family. Great VFM. One thing which now I have done, upgarded the tyres size by 155/70 R13 to increase stability and Ride quality.

Areas of improvement Pleaee install RPM,Heat Gauge and also a Digital Clock.

Good style, fuel economy, time tested model, smmoth gear shifts, AC and overall performancePower is less with AC on in low speeds,Tyre Size,CNG capacity is less

Exterior Exterior is very good and in look is bigger than earlier version.  Its light and front is charming.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior Features, Space & Comfort Good but seems not durable and seat quality is compromised.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Godd but have to compromise on CNG at the time of pick up and fuel efficency not not good with AC.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortabel is driving and seating.  Gettin in and coming out from the Car is very comfortable.

Final Words Purchaing this car is value for money, But as compared to old version, chessis and paint quality is not so good.  My decision to purchase ths Wagon R for second time is its comfortability.

Areas of improvement Chesis and Paint Quality, Fuel Efficiency with AC. If you stand by side of door, it goes in. Paint is affected very easily. CNG cylender occupy big space and boot space is very much reduced.

ComfortBody (Chasis) and Paint Quality

Excellent and good looking Exterior and interior both. The new model of wagon R is very comfortable in driving as compared to ole model. In this price range ,there was a no competitors.

Hi,

This is my first post on any forums to give my view on Wagon R CNG.

I purchased this vehicle on 31st March 2014. 

I have done 6K and completed 2 services. both servicing cost my only Rs. 425. 

1st Service : Rs. 350 A/C fillter added.

2nd Service : Rs. 75 Dashboard polish.

Exterior

 It is nice view to watch the car. Gives feel of big car due to height. Great visibility except the A bar. A bar is really a pain. to my height i'm not able to see in 60 Degree to my right. I need to adjust by moving back or move front to see the right corner. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Overall Average. Comfort is OK. No boot space is really a pain. Have to put your luggage on parcel tray or fold your rear seat.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 While running on CNG i'm getting 24Km/KG in city riding condition with 50% A/C ON and on Highway 30KM/KG with 50% A/C ON. Average run with 2 people.

Pickup is not that good while running on CNG compared  to petrol mode. less responsive throttle overall compared to Swift/Ritz even with Alto 800. Engine wroms but car is still there!!!!

A/C is average. Gearbox is now much better than the previous version. 

Stearing is very light after 80Km/Hr. Due to small wheels taking turn with little speed say 50KM/Hr gives scary feel. 

sometimes, when taking reverse some sound (Kaaarrrraaaa..) used to come even when full clush clutch is applied.

Ride Quality & Handling

Suspension is little hard. Overall OK.  

Final Words

 Good fuel efficiency, Good City drivable car. 

Areas of improvement  

 Pickup, Suspension.

Suzuki Wagonr is one of the most selling car in India because its the best car in space in 4 to 6 lacs budget range with company fitted CNG tank but the build quality of Suzuki cars which have been launching from last few years have been now not up to the mark.Complaint is reguarding the safety of the passengers and driver just if you simply want to test it's toughness then just give an gentle punch on car's body and that shows it all and accidents can happen anywhere anytime without any acknowledgement . WAGONR IS NOW NOT ANYMORE AN SAFE CAR FOR PASEENGERS.

Buying experience: It's excellent experience M buying from automotive meri navi mumbai
Riding experience: It's good experience. But I want more sefty feature
Details about looks, performance etc: Look good but performance best in class
Servicing and maintenance: Affordable maintenance and service
Pros and Cons: Pros:- affordable best mailage Cons:- sefty feature

Yes, Wagon R could have been much better. 1. Specifically the 13/145-80 tyres could have been changed to 14/175-70. 2. Safety features like ABS, EBD Airbags to be a standard across all variants. 3. A heavy lag while in traffic conditions. A powerful 1197 cc engine could have been the booster. 4. Better plastic quality could have added the flair. 5. 1495mm width makes could be increased beyond 1600. 6. CNG tank of 60ltr not sufficient. Maruti should plant a bigger CNG so that a minimum of 300 km can driven at one go.

Reviewing after 40k driving... a correct car for me was a very confusing task. I have gone for so many test drives , variants and tried almost every hatchback and finally decided to buy wagon r cng . It is best choice for a family having not so much budget for maintaining a car. Fuel expense is almost equal to bike riding. Maintainance cost is very low. If you want to be a happy car rider, go timely to service centre. Please do not take any service outside MASC(Maruti authorised service center).

Everything is best In terms of head room it is best Easy to drive Problem is only the power when compared with swift or i10 which is above its class but in this traffic cities it is not the power but comfort and fuel economy and thats with WagonR If again i have to buy a mid sized ,mid powered surely i would go for WagonR
