Maruti Wagon R swivel seat details
Customers can have the swivel seat kit retrofitted in Wagon R models sold after 2019. The installation, which takes less than an hour, is carried out without modifying the car's structure, and the factory-fitted seat does not require any replacement in the process. The Wagon R's tall-boy design already makes getting in and out easy, and the option of a swivel seat only strengthens that advantage.
Notably, the swivel seat has been tested at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and complies with required safety standards. A 3-year warranty against any manufacturing defects will also be provided. With this initiative, the country’s largest carmaker aims to bring ease of accessibility across a wide customer base.
