Maruti WagonR Electric: Maruti Suzuki WagonR is nothing but the best reference of an Indian car. For more than 20 years, it has been the “Tall Boy,” and the car has been synonymous with the virtue of being practical, reliable, and affordable. Now, with the country moving quite fast toward electrification, the WagonR Electric is likely to be the most affordable EV in India. The car is expected to be launched in mid-to-late 2026 and it is going to be a low-cost electric hatchback that is going to make it easy to adopt electric mobility for a large number of first-time EV buyers.

Design
The WagonR Electric has the same tall-boy shape and has a unique design that has always offered a blend of style with usefulness. The high roof gives the vehicle its class-best headroom which also makes the entire cabin comfortable, while the big glass areas make it possible for the driver and all passengers to see clearly just what is needed for driving in a city. Its small size is a great plus point as it makes it easy and fast to move through crowded streets and park in small spots. Perhaps Maruti will also give slight touches here and there of modernity regarding the front, lighting, and interiors by showcasing its electric identity while still holding on to the practical and flexible cabin layout that the WagonR has been known for.
Interior
Once inside, one can say that the WagonR Electric is designed for providing comfort and making life easier. The roomy cabin can accommodate four to five adults easily with enough legroom even if the floor-mounted battery pack takes away some of the space. A state-of-the-art digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity are most likely to be featured on the dashboard. The company’s ergonomic expertise fulcrums on the easy access to controls, a commanding driving position, and brilliant storage solutions, thus keeping the daily usability intact for city commuters and families alike.
Performance
The core of the WagonR Electric is a performance-oriented Indian urban vehicle. According to the industry, it will be able to cover 250 km to 300 km in real-world conditions with one charge, a range more than sufficient for daily city commutes and weekend chores. It is anticipated that the EV will feature DC Fast Charging support, which will allow the battery to be recharged up to 80% in about one hour and thus making longer trips possible. The WagonR Electric is built on a specially modified HEARTECT platform, which integrates the advantages of both structural rigidity and…
Safety
Safety is going to be a major concern, and therefore, some safety measures will include, among others, multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, and stability control. The reinforced chassis not only provides crash protection but also the modern EV-specific safety measures like battery protection systems facilitate urban and suburban drivers to the point of not worrying at all.
Price
The Maruti WagonR Electric is anticipated to have an ex-showroom starting price of ₹8.5 lakh – ₹10 lakh, which directly puts it against the likes of Tata Tiago EV and MG Comet EV. However, Maruti’s vast service network of more than 4,000 outlets across India that supports the vehicle, assures hassle-free ownership even in the tiniest towns and cities.
