Maruti
Suzuki has today silently launched the BS-VI Wagon R 1.0L in the market. The
new model has been priced in the range of INR 4.42-5.41 lakh*. At this price
point, the BS-VI Wagon R 1.0L is INR 8,000 costlier than the BS-IV Wagon R
1.0L. If you recall, Maruti Suzuki launched the BS-VI Wagon R 1.2L back in June
2019.
As for
the mechanicals, the BS-VI Maruti Wagon R 1.0L remains identical to the
outgoing BS-IV variant. It sources power from the same 68 PS 998cc, three-cylinder
K10B petrol engine which is available with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT
options. With the BS-VI update, the ARAI-rated fuel-efficiency figure has
dropped by 0.71 km/litre. The engine now delivers a fuel efficiency of 21.79
km/litre in comparison to 22.5 km/litre earlier. Other than the BS-VI
transition, nothing else has changed in the tall-boy hatchback. The revised
price tag of the Maruti Wagon R should not bring any significant impact on its
ever-strong sales.

The 2019
Maruti Wagon R is available in 14 versions, six of which include the 1.0-litre
engine variants, two are based on a BS-IV compliant CNG-powered engine, and the
remaining are based on the BS-VI compliant 1.2-litre K12B petrol engine.
The
third-gen Maruti Wagon R was launched in January this year. Maruti Suzuki has
reworked on the earlier generation Wagon R's strengths and made the latest
model more spacious, efficient and practical, which has always been the key
USPs of the Wagon R brand. It is the bread and butter offering for Maruti
Suzuki and has worked wonders for India's largest carmaker. The Wagon R is
easily one of the most loved cars in India and has been a regular best-seller.
