Safety – Maruti is offering the Wagon R with dual front airbags and ABS with EBD. While the LXi and VXi variants come only with a standard driver airbag, Maruti does offer the passenger side airbag as an option. The ZXi variant comes with dual front airbags as standard. The hatchback also comes with seat belt pretensioners & load limiter, seat belt reminder, high speed alert and reverse parking sensors. Maruti’s service network is simply unmatched and owning the Wagon R will be a trouble-free process.
Verdict – The Wagon R has improved in a big way. It has become more stylish to look at, has shed away the boxy looks and offers more comfort and practicality with some smart features. The engines deliver commendable performance without compromising too much on the fuel economy. It even rides and handles better than its predecessor. Backed by Maruti’s strong sales and service network, we reckon this big new Wagon R will continue to sell like hotcakes.
