The Maruti WagonR has always been a mainstay of the Indian auto scene, admired for utility, interior roominess and value.
With the 2025 drawing near, Maruti Suzuki is preparing to revive this iconic hatchback with a refreshed look and a new promise of greater design appeal with modern design features and sophisticated technology, along with superior performance.
This article delves into the anticipated features and updates of the new Maruti WagonR facelift, exploring how it aims to maintain its status as a top choice for families and urban commuters alike.
A Legacy of Popularity
Since its launch the WagonR has been one of the best-selling vehicles in India.
With its unique tall-boy format, comfortable cabin and trustworthy engine it appeals to new car buyers as well as families.
The 2025 makeover plan is to keep up with this tradition at the same time, having regard to the changing needs of present purchasers.
Exterior Design: Modernizing the Classic
The 2025 WagonR facelift is forecasted to retain its signature design with significant design updates in order to establish a modern and appealing look.
Front Fascia
The front end is where we can expect the most noticeable changes. There will probably be a redesigned grille, which, it is anticipated, will be both larger and more overt, with sleek LED headlamps on either side of it.
These headlamps could include integrated DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) for better visibility and a more appealing look. According to reference, the bumper will apparently be more sophisticated in order to achieve a more extrovert appearance and a broader stance of the vehicle.
Profile and Rear
Seen from the side, the WagonR will retain its tall, upright stance, but with revised character lines to give a degree of dynamism.
The rear has been predicted to show remodelled taillights, which will possibly use LEDs to afford greater sophistication. New tailgate designs could alternatively also enhance accessibility and attractiveness.
Dimensions
While the size will probably not change overall, there may be some modifications made for aerodynamic efficiency and interior volume.
The current model consists of 3435mm in length, 1495mm in width, and 1675mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2450mm. Small increases on these dimensions have the potential to expand cabin volume.
Interior: A Focus on Comfort and Technology

Get inside the new WagonR and you’ll probably discover a renewed interior with a more polished approach to materials and technology in general.
Dashboard and Infotainment
The heart of the new interior is anticipated to be a larger touchscreen infotainment unit, potentially 9 in. in size, with support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
With this update, the WagonR will be at par to its competitors/ rivals in the area of connected driving experience.
Seating and Space
The WagonR has always been known for its very big interior space, and the facelift is expected to provide even more.
Redesigned comfortable seating with improved support is also under development for improved drive comfort for driver and passenger.
Rear seats should offer sufficient legroom and headroom, and consequently it is one of the suitable options for families.
Storage Solutions
Adaptive storage has always been one of the attractions of the WagonR, and it is probable that this will continue to be the case in the 2025 model. Expect increased cubby holes, increased glovebox, and increased boot space, which will make the car more useful for daily needs.
Performance: Efficient and Reliable
Under the bonnet the 2025 WagonR will be redesigned in order to strike a satisfactory balance between performance and fuel consumption.
Engine Options
A state of the art, next-generation, 1.0-liter K10B petrol engine (68 hp 90 Nm).
K12N petrol engine, 1.2 liter displacement, target operating at around 83 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, for users wishing to achieve more power, is expected to be able to deliver an attractive acceleration for the vehicle of study.
Both engines will likely comply with the new BS6 Phase 2 emission regulations.
Transmission
Normally fitted is 5-speed manual gearbox which, optionally, can be fitted with 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) gearbox for some versions to satisfy the city driving need for automatic transmission.
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel economy has always been a positive aspect of the WagonR and the 2025 version is about to improve on that of the current version. The 1.0-l version is predicted to yield around 22-24 km/l and the 1.2-l version, around 20-22 km/l under normal test conditions.
