Maruti has priced the Wagon R Bioflex at Rs 7.24 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the top-spec ZXi+ 1.2P MT variant of the standard Wagon R, this flex-fuel version of the tall-boy hatchback was revealed in its production-spec avatar at the start of June 2026.

- Available for the commercial sector only
Flex-fuel Maruti Suzuki Wagon R price
Costs Rs 86,000 more than the standard variant
The Bioflex version costs Rs 86,000 more than the standard ZXi+ MT variant. While Maruti has yet to reveal the fuel-efficiency details for the Wagon R Bioflex, in our recent E20 vs E85 fuel mileage test with the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, we found that E85 fuel had 24.40 percent lower fuel efficiency than E20 fuel. A similar drop in efficiency is likely for the Wagon R, even though it is an entirely different vehicle category. Moreover, E85 fuel is only 19.58 percent cheaper than E20.
For now, Maruti is offering the Bioflex version only for the commercial sector. Compared to the commercially available Wagon R Tour H3, priced from Rs 4.99 lakh (for petrol MT) to Rs 5.89 lakh (for CNG MT), the Bioflex is Rs 1.35 lakh to Rs 2.25 lakh costlier. However, the Bioflex has a 1.2-litre engine while the Wagon R Tour H3 comes with a smaller 69hp 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine.
Flex-fuel Maruti Wagon R engine specifications
Offered with a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated K12N engine
Powering the Maruti Wagon R Bioflex is a 1.2-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated K12N engine producing 91hp and 114Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The power and torque outputs are the same as the standard E20-compliant version, but to accommodate higher ethanol levels, the carmaker has made several changes, including upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pumps, new fuel lines, a recalibrated ECU and an ethanol sensor in the flex-fuel iteration. These make the engine compatible with fuel containing up to 85 percent ethanol (E85).
While Maruti is yet to reveal the claimed fuel efficiency figures for the flex-fuel Wagon R, the standard model claims a mileage of 23.56kpl with the 5-speed MT and 24.43kpl with the 5-speed AMT.
Flex-fuel Maruti Wagon R design differences
Gets some version-specific decals and a dedicated badge
There are no major differences in the exterior and interior design of the Wagon R Bioflex compared to the standard version. The only visible changes on the outside include ‘Flex Fuel’ decals on the profile and a ‘Bioflex’ badge on the tailgate. The interior, however, is the same, with a black-and-beige dual-tone cabin theme and fabric seat upholstery, as well as a 3-spoke steering wheel with media control buttons.
Maruti has revealed that the Bioflex version is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, 6 airbags and electronic stability control (ESP). It also gets a manual AC with rear vents, all four power windows, a manually adjustable inside rearview mirror (IRVM), 4 speakers, front fog lamps, rear parking sensors, rear wiper and washer, and outside rearview mirror (ORVM) mounted turn indicators.
Prices are ex-showroom, India.
