Maruti Suzuki is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of one of its longest-selling models, the Wagon R in India. This family hatchback was first introduced in the country in December 1999 and since then, the model has undergone several updates.
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is available at a starting ex-showroom cost of Rs. 5.54 lakh with petrol and CNG powertrain options. The reliable 1.2-litre NA petrol engine does the duty with a five-speed manual and an AMT gearbox.
Over the years, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been the one hatchback that has always been on the list of top-selling models in the country. A testament to its solid hold in the Indian market and among customers, the Wagon R nameplate has sold over 30 lakh units cumulatively since its initial release.
Speaking on this historic milestone, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “The WagonR's 25-year legacy is a testament to the deep connection that we have established with over 32 lakh customers over the years. What sets the WagonR apart is our continuous commitment to delivering exceptional value through innovative features that enhance the driving experience. From Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology that makes city driving effortless to the Hill Hold Assist that provides confidence on challenging terrains, and its impressive fuel efficiency, we have designed the WagonR to be a reliable companion. The fact that approximately 44 per cent of our sales come from first-time buyers, and roughly one in every four customers chooses to repurchase the iconic WagonR, speaks volumes about the trust customers have placed in the brand.'
