Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Becomes The Top-Selling Passenger Vehicle, Recording 1,98,451 Sales In Financial Year 2024-25
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has taken the honours for becoming India’s highest-selling car in the Financial Year 2024-25. It has recorded 1,98,451 sales during the year. The Wagon R has been able to solidify its status for 4 consecutive years, an exceptional achievement.
Reasons For Strong Sales Record
There are multiple reasons as to why the Wagon R is the preferred choice for most Indian households, and it boils down to efficiency, features and value for money. In terms of styling, Suzuki has been able to offer raised seating with the tallboy hatchback body style, which gives a commanding position to the driver.
This, when combined with the 25-year-long presence of the Wagon R in the Indian Market, makes it an appealing proposition for a majority of the buyers. It can’t be ignored that Wagon R can offer some aspects of a crossover and a hatchback, which help to make it the ideal choice.
Engine Options
The Maruti Suzuki WagonR is available with an option of Suzuki’s K-Series engines, which are the 1.0-litre producing 66 HP and 89 Nm of torque or the 1.2-litre 4-cylinder producing 89 HP and 113 Nm of torque. Both of the engines are available in Automatic (AMT) or Manual Transmission.
Both the engine options prioritise fuel economy over all-out enthusiasm, delivering 23.56 km/l to 25.19 km/l for petrol variants and 34.05 km/kg, helping the Wagon R sell better than its rivals. Additionally, there is also an S-CNG option, with the 3-cylinder engine, for the buyers who want to cover the maximum distance for the least amount of money.
Safety Features
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is built on the 5TH generation of the HEARTECT platform and delivers safety, adequate for the price point. It features Anti-Lock Brakes, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Electronic Stability Program and Hill Hold Assist.
Interior Ammenities
On the inside, the Wagon R is also a good place to spend time as the dual-tone interiors house a 17.78 cm SmartPlay Studio Infotainment System with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, steering-mounted audio controls and voice commands.
Outlook
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R’s evolution is a testament to the rising demands and competition in the market. The Wagon R can separate itself from the rivals by offering superior reliability and a renowned service network, pleasing the average Indian household, generating 33,73,884 cumulative sales.
