Wagon R Sales: The Wagon R, which Suzuki Motor Corporation launched as a global product in 1993, has crossed the cumulative worldwide sales of 10 million units (1 crore) in June 2025. It took about 31 years and 9 months to reach the landmark.
The Wagon R, which reflects Suzuki’s expertise in making easy-to-use cars that put riders first, was developed as a semi-bonnet style mini wagon and first sold in the Japanese market. Following this, production began in India, Hungary, Indonesia, and other regions of the world. Suzuki has developed the technologies that have been honed as per the standards for mini cars around the world in the form of the Wagon R series, the company noted.
The last model, the Wagon R Smile, was launched as a derivative of the Wagon R in Japan. It features a 657cc, three-cylinder, mild-hybrid petrol engine with a CVT. The engine makes 48.3 bhp and 58 Nm of torque.
