Maruti Suzuki WagonR Tour H3 — Price & Specs for Taxi Use
34.7 km/kg and tall-boy headroom. The lowest running cost on this entire list.
The WagonR Tour H3 is the commercial WagonR and the cheapest genuine app-cab you can buy new. Its CNG efficiency is the best here, and the tall-boy body gives rear passengers more headroom than any sedan, which matters more on short city hops than boot space does.

What it actually costs on the road with a T-permit
Commercial (yellow plate) registration is not the same as private. Road tax is charged on a different slab, and you also pay for the permit, fitness certificate and commercial insurance. As a working figure, budget ₹6.65 L – ₹7.07 L on-road for Maruti Suzuki WagonR Tour H3 with commercial registration in Delhi NCR. Rates differ by state and permit type, so always ask the dealer for a written commercial quote — the private on-road price they show first is not what you will pay.

Finance on a New WagonR Tour H3
New commercial vehicles finance more easily than used ones. For Maruti Suzuki WagonR Tour H3, banks and NBFCs typically fund 80–90% of the ex-showroom price over a 3–5 year term, provided you hold a valid permit and can show income. Rates on new commercial vehicles run below used-vehicle rates because the asset is fresh collateral.
- Manufacturer finance arms (Maruti Suzuki dealers) usually quote fastest, but not always cheapest.
- Your existing bank will often better a dealer quote if you already run an account with them.
- Get the commercial on-road figure in writing before you compare EMIs; dealers often quote the private one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which new car has the lowest running cost for taxi use in India?
The Maruti WagonR Tour H3 S-CNG, at a certified 34.7 km/kg. In real commercial conditions operators see 27–30 km/kg, which works out to roughly ₹2.5–2.8 per kilometre in fuel at current Delhi CNG rates — lower than any sedan or MUV sold new for taxi duty.
Is a WagonR Tour H3 better than a Dzire Tour S for Ola and Uber?
The WagonR costs about ₹1.3 lakh less and uses slightly less CNG, but it only qualifies for the entry fare category. The Dzire sits in the sedan category and earns more per trip. If you drive high volume on short city trips the WagonR wins on economics; if you want airport and outstation bookings the Dzire recovers its extra cost.
What is the on-road price of a WagonR Tour H3 in Delhi with commercial registration?
Ex-showroom is ₹5,88,900. On-road with commercial yellow-plate registration in Delhi comes to roughly ₹6.6–7.0 lakh once road tax, permit, fitness and commercial insurance are included.
Compare With
Or Buy a Used WagonR Instead
A used WagonR with a commercial RC already in place skips the registration and permit process entirely — and costs a fraction of new.
