    Spec comparison: 2022 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R vs Hyundai Santro

    The hatchbacks in the budget segment are one of the strong contributors to car sales in the country. The low cost of ownership, compact design, and a modest set of features has made them a popular choice among customers. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, one of the bestselling models in the country competes against the likes of Hyundai Santro. Recently, Maruti Suzuki introduced the 2022 Wagon R in the country with more features and cosmetic updates. 

    Read below to learn more about the key differences between the 2022 Wagon R and the Hyundai Santro. 

    Exterior

    As compared to the regular Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, the 2022 model gets fresh updates in the form of sporty roof design and dynamic alloy wheels. The vehicle is based on the Heartect platform and the top-spec variant is available in two dual-tone colour options – Gallant Red and Magma Grey. Apart from these, most of the other styling elements have been retained from the outgoing model. 

    The Hyundai Santro is based on the ‘Rhythmical Tension’ design ideology which features a hexagonal cascading front grille. The vehicle gets sleek and sporty styling elements as compared to its predecessors. The higher variants distinguish themselves from the regular model with chrome surrounds on the grille, along with body-coloured ORVMs and handles.

Additionally, depending on the variant, the hatchback also offers convenience features like a rear washer and wiper, rearview camera, and more.
