Overview
- Maruti unveiled and priced the Wagon R Bioflex on Monday, June 15 at Rs 7.24 lakh ex‑showroom and has begun limited deliveries to early customers.
- The car is based on the top‑spec ZXi+ 1.2‑litre K12N manual and carries a roughly Rs 85,000–86,000 premium over the petrol ZXi+ MT.
- Maruti modified fuel system hardware and software — revised injectors, an upgraded fuel pump, ethanol‑resistant lines, an ethanol sensor and recalibrated ECU — to allow operation up to E85 and engineering for E100.
- Sales are restricted to commercial and fleet buyers at launch and there is no automatic transmission option, leaving private buyer availability and broader retail rollout dates undecided.
- E85 dispensing is currently limited but the government has set targets of about 500 pumps by December 2026 and roughly 5,000 by end‑2027, and actual consumer savings will depend on those stations and official real‑world fuel‑efficiency figures.
