The WagonR Flex Fuel, initially glimpsed at the 2023 Auto Expo in Delhi, is gearing up to redefine the driving experience with its flexible fuel capabilities. Running on E20-E85 Ethanol, this prototype is propelled by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that undergoes tailored modifications to accommodate a more sustainable fuel source. With a projected price of around Rs. 8.50 lakh, Maruti aims to make eco-friendly driving accessible to the masses.
