Q. For long drives in a day 500-550 kms, is Wagon R 2021 good? I plan to go to Karnataka by stopping in Hubli which is about 500 kms from Mumbai. Will the Wagon R with engine oil and new K12 engine be reliable or go for Turbo 1.0 engine or Glanza?

The ride quality of the third-gen WagonR has vastly improved over the second-gen model. This is down to the new stiffer chassis, wider tyres, and a relatively softer suspension setup. Unlike before, bumps and undulations do not upset the tallboy much. The four-pot engine produces lesser vibrations when compared to the older model powered by the 3-cylinder engine. The WagonR still doesn’t like sharp turns as it simply rolls. This is partly due to its height and softer suspension setup. Like other cars in the segment, it prefers to be driven in a gentle manner. Driven in such a manner within city limits, the WagonR will impress you, especially with its new peppy 1.2-liter motor and plush ride quality. The small turning radius of the WagonR also makes zipping past traffic in the city easy and will prove to be useful while parking in tight spots. Moreover, for a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
