New Delhi: Car market leader Maruti Suzuki’s “blue eyed boy” Wagon R has crossed the milestone of 15 lakh cumulative sales.
On the achievement of this milestone, Mr Manohar Bhat, Vice President (Marketing) said, “Launched in 2000, Wagon R has been amongst India’s top 5 best-selling brands. With its space, features and comfort, Wagon R has been the choice of the “Smart customer” and consistently remained among India’s most loved car brands.
The Company sold around 156,300 units of Wagon R in 2013-14. In the current year, Wagon R sales have already exceeded 93,000 units..
