Pros & Cons


Advantages	The ZXI variant of the recently-updated Wagon-R offers supreme value over all the other variants. It comes with the 1.2L normal petrol engine and offers features like idle start/stop, Bluetooth-enabled audio system, steering-mounted audio controls and dual airbags. Thanks to its tall boy design, the Wagon-R offers impressive amounts of headroom and knee room inside the cabin. In addition to that, it also commands a good road presence thanks to its tall riding stance. The Wagon-R comes with a 1.0L normal petrol in the lower variants whereas the top-spec ZXI and ZXI+ variants now come with the 1.2L normal petrol engine as standard. The 1.2L normal petrol engine offers equally good fuel efficiency when compared with the 1.0L normal petrol while offering better refinement, performance and driveability. Maruti Suzuki offer the Wagon-R CNG with the 1.0L normal petrol engine, which is very efficient. In addition to that, the Wagon-R comes with the choice of an AMT transmission with both 1.0L normal petrol and 1.2L normal petrol engine options. After-sales service is the backbone of Maruti Suzuki in India. The Wagon-R enjoys a reassuring after-sales network and it is very easy to find a qualified technician for Maruti Suzuki cars even in the remote locations. In addition to that, the Wagon-R, being a popular model, also enjoys higher resale value with minimal depreciation.	The Maruti Nexa Ignis comes with a 180mm of ground clearance. Coupled with a short wheelbase and small form factor, the Ignis can handle broken roads and tall speed breakers without scraping its underbelly. Flared wheel arches and body cladding also add to its crossover appeal. The Ignis offers a high-seating position, high ground clearance and compact dimensions make it a perfect car for city driving. You can navigate through city traffic more easily, squeeze it into a tight parking spot and have great all-around visibility to improve your city driving ownership. Maruti Nexa Ignis comes with a class-leading fuel efficiency of almost 21kmpl. The fuel efficiency is impressive by segment standards, even without the new Dual-jet engine, which is available with the Baleno and Dzire. Additionally, the Ignis also offers great refinement as it’s the only car in its segment of compact, affordable crossovers with a 4-cylinder engine. The 4-cylinder construction makes it inherently balanced and smooth. After-sales service is the backbone of Maruti Suzuki in India. The Ignis enjoys a reassuring after-sales network and its very easy to find a qualified technician for Maruti Suzuki cars even in remote locations. While it’s not as popular as the Swift, Baleno or Dzire, it still manages to hold a good percentage of its value and is reasonably affordable to begin with.In addition to that, the Ignis, being a popular model, also enjoys higher resale value with minimal depreciation.
Disadvantages	Maruti Suzuki offer the Wagon-R CNG with the 1.0L VXI variant only. The ZXI variant, which is the most value for money variant in the Wagon-R, neither comes with a CNG option nor with the 1.0L normal petrol engine. The Wagon-R has become a lot more expensive than when it first arrived in the Indian market. While the increased prices justify themselves with the improvement in features and overall quality, the Wagon-R nameplate fails to justify that. The new Wagon-R comes with a ground clearance of 165mm, which is not enough for a vehicle as tall as the Wagon-R. In addition to that, the Wagon-R lacks the premium appeal, against its rivals because of the fact that there are already a lot of Wagon-R hatchbacks running on our roads.	The Maruti Nexa Ignis comes with only a 1.2L normal petrol engine. While the diesel engine was taken off the shelves once the BS6 norms came into effect, Maruti Suzuki are yet to offer a CNG option with the Ignis. Given the increasing demand for turbo petrol engines due to improving awareness among car buyers, it’s also natural for us to miss a turbo petrol in the Ignis. Turbocharged engines offer a lot of torque at low and mid RPMs making them very easy to drive in the city as well as on the highway. Since you don’t need to rev them very hard to extract meaningful performance out of a turbocharged engine, they also tend to deliver good mileage along with fantastic drivability. The Ignis misses out on a few features, which we’ve come to expect from a car at this price point. We wish at least the top variant offered features like front and rear armrests, rear AC vents, cruise control, wireless phone charger and drive modes. The Ignis is exclusively available at Maruti’s premium Nexa dealerships. The presence of Nexa dealerships falls short in front of the larger Arena network. So a large portion of tier 2, tier 3 and village population never even considers buying the Ignis. Maruti Suzuki addressed this problem with a price revision. Now, the Delta variant is suitable for budget buyers and offers reasonable value for money with a decent number of must-have features. Although, the Zeta offers even better value with some good-to-have features.

Expert Verdict

Price & Value: Wagon R is more affordable to buy.

Performance & Mileage: Ignis (2017-2026) delivers better performance with more power and torque, whereas Wagon R focuses on efficiency and lower running costs.

Space & Comfort: Ignis (2017-2026) is the longest and widest of the group, which should translate to better cabin space, while Ignis (2017-2026) offers the highest ground clearance—useful for poor roads and speed breakers. Boot space is largest in Wagon R, making it more practical for luggage.

Features & Safety: Feature-wise, Ignis (2017-2026) offers the richest equipment list. Wagon R misses out on some basic safety, functional or convenience features that rivals provide.

Which one should you buy? Choose the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R VXI if your priorities are a lower on-road price, better fuel efficiency and more boot space. Consider the Maruti Suzuki Ignis (2017-2026) Alpha if you value stronger performance, more cabin space and higher ground clearance. Overall, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R VXI offers the better balance for buyers who prioritise a lower on-road price and better fuel efficiency.
