Dimensions & City Practicality
With its signature tall-boy design, the Wagon R offers a surprisingly spacious cabin in a compact footprint:
- Length: 3600 mm
- Boot Space: 300 liters
- Turning Radius: 4.6 meters
- Ground Clearance: 170 mm
This makes it exceptionally maneuverable in tight city lanes while offering ample storage for daily errands.
Exterior Styling
Built on Suzuki’s lightweight Heartect platform, the Wagon R blends functionality with modern aesthetics. Highlights include:
- Chrome trapezoidal grille
- Halogen headlights
- Optional fog lamps (higher trims)
- Alloy wheels on VXL and AGS; steel rims on VXR
- Color Options: Solid White, Silky Silver, Graphite Grey, Pearl Black, Red, and Blue
Interior & Tech Features
The Wagon R’s cabin focuses on practical comfort, especially for small families and solo commuters:
- Power steering and manual air conditioning (standard)
- Generous legroom and headspace
- Higher trims feature:
- 9-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Power windows, central locking, and keyless entry
- Interior Color: Beige (VXR), Black (VXL and AGS)
Safety Equipment
Safety is modest but includes:
- Immobilizer (all variants)
- 3-point seatbelts
- Driver airbag (AGS variant only)
- ABS – optional on higher trims
Compared to competitors like the Toyota Vitz or Hyundai i10, safety features remain minimal, especially in the base variant.
Price in Pakistan (Ex-Factory)
- VXR – PKR 3,214,000 (approximately $11,500)
- VXL – PKR 3,412,000 (approximately $12,200)
- AGS – PKR 3,741,000 (approximately $13,300)
Though the 2025 update doesn’t introduce major upgrades, the AGS variant stands out for those seeking a more convenient, automatic driving option.
Availability & Final Verdict
While Pak Suzuki has paused new bookings since March 2025 due to declining demand, units of the Wagon R 2025 are still available at local dealerships. Despite the global rollout of the new variant, a local launch seems uncertain—especially after the recently updated Alto received only minor tweaks.
Verdict: The Suzuki Wagon R 2025 remains a solid pick for daily drivers prioritizing affordability, interior space, and fuel efficiency—even if it lags slightly in modern features and safety tech.
