Maruti has revealed the Wagon R Bioflex price, which is Rs 7.24 lakh (ex-showroom). It is the flex-fuel version of the standard Wagon R, based on the top-spec ZXi+ 1.2P MT variant, which was revealed at the start of June 2026 in its production-spec avatar.
- Powered by Maruti’s K12N, 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine
- Available for the commercial sector only
- Detailed technical specifications yet to be revealed
Maruti Wagon R flex fuel engine specifications
Offered with a K12N, 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine
The Maruti Wagon R Bioflex is offered with a 1.2-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with several tweaks to accommodate higher ethanol levels, such as upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pumps, new fuel lines, a recalibrated ECU and an ethanol sensor. These changes make the engine compatible with up to 85 percent ethanol-blended fuel (E85). The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Maruti is yet to reveal the detailed technical specifications of the powertrain as well as the claimed fuel efficiency figures. The standard Wagon R ZXi+, on the other hand, produces 91hp and 114Nm, and claims a mileage of 23.56kpl with the 5-speed MT and 24.43kpl with the 5-speed AMT.
Maruti Wagon R flex fuel 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). However, since it is based on the top-spec ZXi+ trim, it is expected to offer a manual AC with rear vents, a manually adjustable inside rearview mirror (IRVM), 4 speakers, front fog lamps and rear parking sensors.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R flex fuel price
Costs Rs 86,000 more than the standard variant
The Bioflex version is Rs 86,000 costlier than the standard ZXi+ MT variant. While the fuel efficiency details of the Bioflex are yet to be revealed, 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. Moreover, E85 fuel is only 19.58 percent cheaper than E20. While the fuel efficiency for the Wagon R will vary from that of the Gixxer SF 250, it is not expected to be very different from the test results, which ultimately does not make a case for the Bioflex version’s value proposition.
But 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.
Prices are ex-showroom, India.
