Overall rating 3.5/5The Suzuki Wagon R was brought to the UK in the late 1990s, with the most popular models sold from 2000 to 2007. Suzuki carved a niche with a high-roofed shape but city-sized footprint, blending MPV practicality with the manoeuvrability of a small hatchback. People like the Wagon R for its upright seating, straightforward controls and efficient engines. Its closest rivals include the Vauxhall Agila (which shares many parts), Daewoo Matiz and Daihatsu Charade – but the Suzuki is praised for its slightly sturdier feel and better reliability. The Wagon R got a mild facelift in 2000, moving towards a curvier look and better kit. Early cars used 1.0- and 1.2-litre petrol engines, while the later 1.3-litre models are the most advanced and well-equipped. No matter the year, all models have plenty of space for four adults and are easy to park, with fuel economy figures that will keep your wallet happy.
