Maruti Suzuki Wagon R specifications

The Wagon R is easy to live with for senior drivers, offering tall seating, big doors, light steering, and great visibility. Maruti service is cost-effective.

The Tata Punch is a better choice than the Wagon R, considering the safety rating and price.

I drive elevate CVT since last 2 years. It is the best option if you are looking for NA motor. Company has already added few new features like 360, ambience light and few more. Note the service is no more cheaper as I paid 17k for 20k kms service.

As an owner, I find the driving dynamics and steering feedback to be the best in the segment. The cabin is spacious, and it has the best naturally aspirated engine in the segment. Factory fitted Alpine speakers are good, though they don't get much recognition. The AC performance is one of the best in class. However, the CVT is smooth but not suitable for aggressive drivers. Tyre noise can be annoying on bad roads. Under thigh support and overall seat comfort are not the best in the segment. The Alpine infotainment system disconnects when transitioning from 4G to 5G, though some improvement was made with a software update. The back row middle hump makes it comfortable for only two people in the rear seat. Must-have features like TPMS are sold as accessories. My experience with the Honda service centre was not great.

I own Elevate 1.5 Manual (VX). The 1.5 NA engine is amazing, best for city drive and does not disappoint on highway. ADAS is not useful for India, so don't go for top model. Go for it.
