Maruti Suzuki WagonR Reigns Supreme as India’s Best-Selling Car in FY25
For all that competition throughout the market as Indian, really getting a strong hold over it would indeed be the most difficult. But again, the Maruti Suzuki WagonR got through it. The ever-famous hatchback emerged India's best-selling car in the last four consecutive years by selling an amazing 1,98,451 units in FY2025, meaning an average of 500 units each day.
Inarguable by the affordability, practicality, and reliability it offers, the WagonR is still ruling roads across metropolitan cities and dab towns of India.
In the year 1999, the WagonR was introduced and has completed a legacy of 25 years in becoming a household name. Constructed in the "tall-boy" style, the car offers spacious cabin housing that really surprises for a compact footprint.
All the lessons are covered in this: steering-mounted controls, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and mechanically adjustable ORVMs, making it a perfect vehicle for a city commute and daily family errands.
Not limited to just private owners, fleet operators such as Uber and Ola keep relying on this all-time favorite for its low running costs, impressive fuel economy, and easy maintenance.
For an ideal budget, customers can choose between the two engine options available on the WagonR - a 1.2-litre petrol engine (89 bhp, 113 Nm) or a more fuel-efficient 1.0-litre petrol unit (66 bhp, 89 Nm), which also supports a CNG variant (56 bhp, 82.1 Nm). Both engines are available either with a 5-speed manual or AMT option, offering flexibility to the buyer.
This makes it among the most value-packed hatchbacks in this segment, with prices starting from Rs 5.65 lakh and going as high as Rs 7.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer at Maruti Suzuki India, emphasized that constant focus is given to customers' belief and innovation as a hallmark to the brand. "WagonR's leadership comes out of an unrivaled value and legacy of reliability," he said. Interestingly, 1 in every 4 WagonR customers comes back to buy the car, demonstrating the fidelity that the model enjoys.
Thus, successfully continuing its vigorous front-run across all bounds, Maruti Suzuki WagonR proves that good design with smart pricing doesn't get out of style: reliable too. ' Also Read:
