Suzuki Wagon R is one of the most popular hatchbacks in Pakistan, with 939 units sold in the first five months of FY 2024-25. For middle-class people, fuel economy is one of the key factors influencing their car buying decisions due to high fuel prices, and this hatchback is quite efficient in this regard. If you are searching for the Wagon R fuel average, you have landed on the right page.
After driving this car for nearly two years, reading a lot of customer reviews, and having discussions with many experts, I have mentioned the real-life petrol averages of all Suzuki Wagon R variants in this blog.
So, let’s start with the popular variant.
Suzuki Wagon R VXL Fuel Average
The fuel average of the Suzuki Wagon R VXL is around 14–17 km/l. I and many other people got 14-15 km/l mileage in the city with air conditioning turned on and around 16-17 km/l on highways.
Suzuki Wagon R VXR Fuel Average
The Suzuki Wagon R VXR petrol average is nearly the same (14–17 km/l) as the VXL variant, as most people have found little to no difference between their fuel consumption.
Suzuki Wagon R AGS
The Suzuki Wagon R AGS has the same petrol average as the other variants. However, some people reported negligibly higher fuel consumption compared to the manual variants. So, it’s fuel economy is somewhere between 13.5 to 16.5 km/l. Many won’t notice any major difference, though!
Suzuki Wagon R Fuel Tank Capacity
The fuel tank capacity of the Suzuki Wagon R is 35L. It means if a Wagon R gives 15 km/l fuel economy on average, it should go a little above 500 km on a full tank.
Expert Insights: What Makes the Suzuki Wagon R a Fuel-Efficient Choice?
Suzuki Wagon R comes with a 998cc K10B DOHC 12-valve engine that produces around 67 horsepower and has a 1,350 kg gross weight. This combination, along with other factors like aerodynamics, a decent power-to-weight ratio, etc., makes it a fuel-efficient car and a preferred choice of many.
Factors That Impact the Fuel Economy
Did you know that the fuel averages can vary due to many factors? A person with the same car may get a fuel economy of 17 km/l, whereas the same car model may provide a fuel efficiency of 14 km/l. Even the best fuel-average cars can become less efficient due to some factors. Now, you must be curious to know them, right? Here are some of the top factors that affect the fuel consumption of vehicles:
- Driving style
- Fuel quality
- Road condition
- Driving area (city vs highway)
- Vehicle condition (maintenance)
- Wheel alignment
- Tire air pressure
- Weight
- Engine oil quality
- Air conditioning
How to Calculate Fuel Average Correctly
Many people calculate the fuel average incorrectly, like I used to do before someone taught me the correct way, which I found is among the best ways to calculate it. Here is the correct way to calculate the fuel economy of cars.
- Fill the tank to the top.
- Note down your mileage (reading on the odometer) or reset the trip meter.
- Next time you visit the petrol station, get the tank filled to the top (at the same level as before).
- Note the reading (km) on the trip meter or subtract the current reading from the previous reading (km).
- Note the number of litres.
- Divide the number of kilometres by the litres of petrol you purchased (km/l).
- You will get km/l of your car since the last time you fill up the tank.
