The Maruti WagonR has an ARAI-certified mileage of up to 34.05 km/kg (LXi / VXi CNG). Owners report a real-world figure of around 27.5 km/kg in mixed driving, which is typical of the 81% real-to-claimed ratio seen across this segment.
The LXi / VXi CNG variant is the most fuel-efficient, returning approximately 27.5 km/kg in real-world conditions against an ARAI rating of 34.05 km/kg.
The Maruti WagonR holds 32 litres of fuel, giving a usable range of roughly 576 km per full tank at real-world efficiency.
ARAI testing happens in a lab on a chassis dynamometer with the air conditioning off, no passengers and no traffic. Real Indian driving adds AC load, stop-go traffic, passenger weight and cold starts, which together cost 20-30%. A Maruti WagonR owner seeing 27.5 km/kg is getting an entirely normal result.
At Delhi prices, the Maruti WagonR costs approximately ₹2.73 per kilometre on cng at its real-world efficiency of 27.5 km/kg. Use the fuel cost calculator on this page for your own country, city and driving pattern.
