The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is a recognised name in every Indian household for more than 20 years. With the 2025 model, Maruti has revamped its iconic tall-boy hatchback with new safety kit, refreshed surfaces and some under-the-hood updates. The Wagon R 2025 is more chic, more efficient and more safe than ever before — and so it is proving to be one of the most sensible choices in the segment.
Enhanced Safety for Modern Roads
NEW PROTECTIONS One of the key highlights of the Wagon R 2025 would be the standard six airbags available in all major trims. This is the bag of front air bags, side, side air bag curtain. The car gets ABS with EBD, 3-point seatbelt for all occupants, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), hill hold assist and rear parking sensors.
These features make the Wagon R a lot safer and up to date in safety expectations even while keeping it positioned as a budget city car.
Updated Design with Fresh Appeal
Maruti Wagon R gets minor cosmetic updates but looks more dynamic The front of the Maruti Wagon R gets a welcoming new grille with stylish chrome inserts, while the car also scores LED DRLs, while a host of new dual-tone colour options also make the cut. The tall-boy profile is still a part of this but with sportier alloy wheels and cleaner body lines.
Changes to the rear are limited to the updated tail lamps as well as a new bumper, which helps us appreciate the Wagon R’s more mature and premium outlook without deviating too much from its silhouette.
Efficient and Reliable Powertrains
Engine-wise, the Wagon R 2025 can be had with:

For those looking for a budget friendly as well as an eco-friendly option, there comes the CNG option that gives excellent mileage of more than 34 km/kg. The petrol version provides an incredible mileage of 24 – 25 km/l, which is one of the highest among all hatchbacks currently available in India.
Comfortable and Spacious Cabin
The Wagon R impresses yet again with its segment leading space inside the cabin. Thanks to the tall-boy proportions there’s plenty of headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. The 341-litre boot is large for a car of this size, this is perfect for family use. The XT comes in higher trims that have, for instance:
