Maruti Suzuki WagonR Mileage
₹4.99 Lakh to ₹7.24 Lakhex-showroom
The WagonR gives you two petrol engines and a CNG option, each with its own figure. The 1.0 litre returns 24.35 km/l as a manual and 25.19 km/l with the AGS, while the bigger 1.2 litre reads 23.56 km/l and 24.43 km/l. The S-CNG, built on the 1.0 litre, is the frugal pick at 33.47 km/kg. Since the numbers vary by engine, it helps to match the figures to each WagonR trim.
The flex-fuel ZXi+ Bioflex shares the 23.56 km/l rating of the 1.2 litre manual. Idle start/stop is fitted to every petrol version but not to the CNG cars. To weigh fuel savings against the purchase cost, check where those trims sit on price.
