The Maruti Suzuki WagonR has been the go-to car for millions of Indian families, loved for its practical design, incredible efficiency, and unbeatable value. For years, rumors have been swirling about a bigger, more spacious version, and now the buzz is stronger than ever: a 7-seater WagonR could be hitting the roads in 2025.

While Maruti Suzuki is yet to make an official announcement, the idea of a 7-seater WagonR is an exciting one, and it just makes perfect sense. It would be the ideal solution for large families looking for an affordable and economical people-mover.

So, what would a 7-seater WagonR look like?

The new model would likely be based on an extended version of Maruti’s trusted Heartect platform, making it longer than the current 5-seater model to accommodate the extra row of seats. It would almost certainly retain its signature “tall-boy” design, which is the perfect starting point for a 7-seater as it guarantees good headroom for all passengers, even those in the third row.

The star of the show, of course, would be the interior. The seating would likely be a flexible 5+2 arrangement. This means two full-sized rows for five adults and a third row that’s perfect for children or for short trips with adults. The real genius would be in the modularity; imagine being able to fold down the third row completely to open up a massive amount of boot space for luggage. It would offer the ultimate combination of people-carrying and luggage-hauling capabilities in a compact package.

To pull the extra weight, the 7-seater WagonR would likely come equipped with Maruti’s more powerful and peppy 1.2-litre K-series petrol engine. And knowing Maruti, a company-fitted CNG option is almost a guarantee, which would make it an incredibly affordable car to run for large families and even for commercial use.

If Maruti gets the pricing right—positioning it as an aggressive competitor to cars like the Renault Triber—they could have an undisputed champion on their hands. A 7-seater WagonR would combine the trust and efficiency of India’s favorite hatchback with the space and practicality of an MPV. It’s a winning formula that we hope becomes a reality very soon.
