Maruti Wagon R powertrains: common questions
- How many powertrains is the Maruti Wagon R sold with?
- 3: Petrol manual, CNG manual, Petrol AGS. The cheapest way into the range is the LXi 1.0 Petrol MT at ₹4,98,900 ex-showroom, and the dearest entry point is the VXi 1.0 Petrol AGS at ₹5,99,400.
- On the Maruti Wagon R, does changing powertrain change the equipment?
- Not on the LXi, which is sold as both the LXi 1.0 Petrol MT and the LXi 1.0 CNG MT with identical equipment. The ₹95,000 between them buys the powertrain and nothing else.
- What mileage does each Maruti Wagon R powertrain claim?
- Petrol manual: 24.35 kmpl; CNG manual: 33.47 km/kg; Petrol AGS: 25.19 kmpl. These are the manufacturer's certified figures, not our own, and CNG is certified per kilogram rather than per litre — the two numbers are not comparable directly.
- Does CarMaths say when the Maruti Wagon R's CNG pays for itself?
- Not yet. That answer needs a CNG price we can stand behind in your city, and the CNG figures available to us fail their own consistency check — they swing by twelve rupees between two cities in one state, and in one city they read above petrol. This page gives the price gap and the certified efficiency and leaves the division to you, rather than printing a payback distance that would be wrong.
We do not tell you when CNG pays for itself
The useful answer is a distance — drive this far and the cheaper fuel has repaid the premium. For diesel against petrol we do work it out, in the panel above: it holds this state's pump prices, and where we have a certified efficiency for both sides of the same trim it gives you the premium, the yearly saving and the kilometres at which one repays the other. Change any figure to your own.
CNG is the one we withhold, and it is a sourcing problem rather than an arithmetic one: the CNG prices we could find do not survive their own consistency check — they swing by twelve rupees between two cities in one state, and in one city they read above petrol. A payback distance built on those would be a wrong answer rather than a missing one.
Where a row above reads “—”, the manufacturer publishes no certified efficiency for that powertrain and we store none rather than borrow another's. Type the figure you actually get and the arithmetic follows it.
Everything on this page is the same arithmetic used everywhere else on this site: equipment priced in rupees, against the price difference. What it cannot price is the powertrain itself — a gearbox, a fuel system, running cost, resale or refuelling convenience.
What this car's data leaves out
Left out: the flex-fuel ZXi+, which needs a fuel type we do not yet model, and the dual-tone trims.
Data notes — where these figures come from
Petrol manual, petrol AGS and S-CNG ladders. Note the engine changes within the petrol ladder — LXi and VXi use the 1.0 litre, ZXi and ZXi+ the 1.2 — so part of the step up to ZXi buys engine rather than equipment. Equipment is read from the variant-wise list in Maruti's own brochure, whose columns are shared across a trim's manual, AGS and CNG forms: the ZXi has a phone dock rather than a touchscreen, and hill hold is fitted to the AGS alone, which our combined 'ESC, VSM & Hill Start Assist' feature already credits the manual for on ESC, so no boolean differs. The CNG is offered on LXi and VXi 1.0 only and its efficiency is certified in km/kg, which is not comparable to the petrol kmpl figure. Flex-fuel and dual-tone trims are not modelled. WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO (9 Oct 2026): not credited on any variant. Maruti's brochure carries only the Android Auto trademark footnote and no wireless wording.
