The first generation Wagon R was introduced in India on 18 December 1999. Based on the Wagon R kei car offered in Japan, the Wagon R was an answer to the then newly arrived Hyundai Santro. The Wagon R quickly gained popularity in the country as the car came with much interior space, including the ability to seat even taller passengers with ease. The car also offered features like power windows and power steering, which back in 1999 were considered luxuries in India.[2] The car is powered by Suzuki's 1.1-litre F10D petrol engine producing 64 bhp (48 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 84 N⋅m (62 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm.

A minor facelift of this model was introduced in 2003 which received a chrome line in the grille, body-coloured bumpers and clear-lens tail lamps. Inside, the Wagon R has a beige dashboard with many storage spaces. In 2006, Suzuki launched an LPG version called DUO, which was introduced for the F10D engined variants. This gave owners an option of running on petrol and/or LPG. The car also received aesthetic overhauls with a redesigned grille and tailgate, including accents of chrome.[3]

The first generation Wagon R was sold around 880,000 units.[4]

The second generation Wagon R was introduced on 23 April 2010 in New Delhi, India.[5] Featuring a brand-new platform carried from the fourth generation Japanese Wagon R, the overall length of the second generation Wagon R was increased to 3,595 mm (an increase of 75 mm) with a wheelbase of 2,400 mm. The second generation Wagon R is also wider and taller than its predecessor. While safety enhancements have been implemented in the form of ABS, airbags and fog lamps, these are limited only to the top variant. The trim levels available are LX, LXi and VXi.

The Indian model (2010) called Wagon R 1.0, is powered by the more efficient three-cylinder 998 cc K10B engine, which can also be found in the Maruti Suzuki A-Star, Maruti Suzuki Estilo, and the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10. The engine delivers 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp) at 6,200 rpm, and 90 N⋅m (66 lb⋅ft) at 3 500 rpm. Maruti Suzuki launched a new 5-speed vehicle with the same engine and the same body. This version came only in the top model that is the VXi which had ABS as standard. Also, Maruti launched ABS as an option for all Wagon R and Stingray variants. The Wagon R was priced at 4.14 lakh Indian rupees or INR, while Stingray is priced INR 20,000 more than the Wagon R.

The first facelift for this generation arrived on 14 January 2013. It featured cosmetic changes, including a narrower grille, restyled bumpers with larger vents and a new fog lamp housing. Inside, changes included the dual glove box and an integrated Eagle Wings music system with integrated USB and AUX ports.

In 2014, Maruti Suzuki introduced the Maruti Suzuki Stingray. It was essentially a restyled second generation Wagon R and it was introduced alongside the regular version. The Stingray features a bolder, dynamic looking fascia. It featured projector headlamps, a first for the segment. Later on, Maruti Suzuki dropped the Stingray moniker and renamed it as Wagon R VXi+ as the top variant of the range.[3]

In 2015, a 5-speed automated gear shift (AGS, or AMT) was introduced to replace the aging 3-speed automatic transmission.

The third generation Wagon R was launched in India on 23 January 2019.[18] The third generation Wagon R shares its HEARTECT platform with the Ignis, among other distant models including Celerio, Baleno, Swift and Wagon R kei car.[18] As the result, the car is lighter than the outgoing model while also having a stronger body structure. As Suzuki distanced the Indian market Wagon R with the Japanese market Wagon R which its dimensions stuck within the kei car regulation, the third generation Wagon R become larger than its predecessor.[19] The wheelbase is 35 mm (1.4 in) longer and the width has increased by a significant 125 mm (4.9 in). As the result, the interior size is increased significantly, the car offers larger legroom and shoulder room at the back, and would be able to properly carry five people instead of four.[20] Capitalizing its size changes, Maruti Suzuki is marketing the car as the "Big New Wagon R".

Other than India, the car is also exported to Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The latter marketed the car as Grand Wagon R.[16]

For the first time, the Wagon R is offered with two engine options. The base option is the K10B 1.0-litre petrol engine carried from the previous generation, with a more powerful K12M 1.2-litre petrol engine as an option. The 1.0-litre is only offered with manual transmission while the 1.2-litre is available with either manual transmission or AMT. The 1.2-litre engine of the Wagon R produces 82 PS (60 kW) of power and 113 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the 1.0-litre engine option will deliver 68 PS (50 kW) of power and 90 Nm of torque.[21] A factory-fitted CNG kit option is also offered in India for the 1.0 LXi trim.[22] It produces lesser power and torque when on CNG mode and also heavier than petrol variant.

The improved Wagon R was introduced on 25 February 2022. The car received new K10C 1.0 and K12N 1.2-litre Dualjet engines with idle start stop system, beige and dark grey dual tone interior colour, dual tone exterior colour with black roof, black coloured 14-inch alloy wheels and hill-hold assist for AMT model.[23]
