Exterior The new Wagon R comes with good looks with good styling of head lamps and blue eyed boy style which is very appreciable, over all looks is very nice and boxy looks has been totally abolished, thanks to maruti. Car body also solid and well protected against mishappenings, so no worry just drive and enjoy.
Interior(Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors of New Wagon R is not only amazing but also worth praising, it comes with cup holders and better glove box and very comfortably designed passenger and driver seats. It gives you a feeling of driving heavy vehicles and driver seat is adequately raised for comfortable driving for long hours with clear view all around, company fitted music system(sony) is very good and comes with a remote. Overall I can say that it is not crampy like our other hatchbacks and everything negative noted in older versions have been corrected to a extent.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance of Wagon R Lxi CNG model is very nice and too far better then localy fitted cng from market and you can feel that only when you drive that, you will not be able to notice the power drop and fuel switching at all with ac on as well, engine is adequately powered 998 cc for comfy and faster rides. Fuel economy is far better then other hatchbacks, it has given me a 19 kmpl with petrol and 23 on cng in city, well it all depends upon riding style. CNG filling is very comfortable and the nozzle is situate just beside petrol filling. Gearbox has been newly designed with wire shift mechanism and is so smooth you will hardly notice the gear changes.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth and long distances can be covered without hesitation, handling is superior and gives great pleasure not tireness after driving, Its electronic power steering is very good and comfortable for city drives.
Final Words All I can say that anyone planning to buy a car and living in CNG metros should buy this car for more savings and good performance, misinformation like CNG is bad for engine is all rubbish as all car manufacturers can not provide cng fitted cars, maruti is giving one year extra warranty on all its cng vehicles just because cng is less harmful to engines then other fuels which not only accumulates carbon and dust but is costly also, the day will come when conventionaly fuelled cars will be banned due to increased pollution and cng cars will not only run but will rule the roads.
Areas of improvement This car can be improved upon better steering column, an rpm monitor should be installed and more freebies like bumper protector should be given like other companies.
