India’s first Wagon R Flex Fuel launches on June 4. Runs on petrol, E20, E85, or even pure ethanol. Reduces emissions by up to 79% with high ethanol blends.
Maruti Suzuki is all set to unveil its first-ever Flex Fuel Wagon R on June 4, 2026. This hatchback is not just another Wagon R - it’s India’s first mass-market car built to run on high ethanol blends. It promises to reduce emissions while keeping the same reliable performance that Wagon R owners love.
Here’s a look at eight interesting things you should know about the upcoming Wagon R Flex Fuel.
1. India’s First Flex Fuel Wagon R
While Maruti Suzuki has shown Flex Fuel prototypes before, this is the first production-ready version. It’s a big step for alternative fuel vehicles in India.

2. Runs on Petrol and High Ethanol Blends
The car can run on anything from regular petrol to E85 or even pure ethanol (E100). This gives drivers flexibility and supports cleaner fuel use.
3. Reduced Emissions
When running on high ethanol blends like E85, the Wagon R Flex Fuel can cut tailpipe emissions by up to 79% compared to a standard petrol car. That’s a big win for the environment.
4. Same Performance as Petrol Version
Don’t worry about losing power. Maruti Suzuki has tuned the engine to deliver the same performance and driving experience as the regular 1.2-litre petrol Wagon R.
5. Smart Ethanol Sensors
The car has built-in sensors that continuously detect the ethanol level in the fuel tank. The engine automatically adjusts to the right fuel mix for smooth performance.
6. Heated Fuel Rails for Cold Starts
Ethanol fuels can sometimes cause cold-start issues. The Wagon R Flex Fuel has heated fuel rails to ensure it starts easily, even in cooler temperatures.
7. Stronger Engine Components
The engine uses heavy-duty fuel pumps, corrosion-resistant injectors, and robust parts designed to handle ethanol’s unique properties. This keeps the car reliable over the long run.
8. Supports India’s Ethanol Goals
The Wagon R Flex Fuel aligns with India’s push for alternative fuels. By using ethanol blends, it helps reduce dependence on imported crude oil and moves the country closer to its net-zero carbon goals by 2070.
