Maruti Wagon R Flex Fuel: Embracing Eco-Friendly Driving with Sugarcane Juice Power!
Maruti Wagon R Flex Fuel no longer needs expensive petrol, the car will now run on sugarcane juice.
Maruti Wagon R Flex Fuel: The company is getting ready to launch its first sugarcane juice-powered flex fuel vehicle in India. It is anticipated that Maruti will introduce its first car, a compact car, to the Indian market by 2025. Maruti is consistently producing this kind of fuel, which is less expensive than gasoline and produces an equivalent amount of power, to help its customers escape the growing costs of gasoline and diesel in the Indian market. I should point out that Maruti is not the first automaker to do this. Some cars even used this technology back in the day.

The Maruti Suzuki WagonR Flex Fuel has been unveiled at the Auto Expo and is one of the highlights of Maruti Suzuki’s range. However, the company had earlier also showcased it at the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers Technology (SIAM) in December 2022. Maruti Suzuki is going to manufacture it indigenously with local engineers. This car will be designed to run on 20% to 85% blended ethanol engine.
It is going to be operated with the current 1.2 liter Naturally Accepted petrol engine. However, for this, large scale changes will be made in its engine, due to which it will be able to provide better power on ethanol mixed engine. Its companion, this engine will also be prepared for BS6 and will be operated with a five-speed manual transmission.
Maruti Wagon R Flex Fuel Launch Date
The Maruti Wagon R Flex Fuel is expected to be launched sometime in 2025. Although this has also been unveiled in 2022 and 2023. The first flex fuel from Maruti is going to be a compact car. However, no confirmation has been made yet by the company regarding this.
Maruti Suzuki says that the Maruti WagonR based on the ethanol engine will be up to 79% less polluting than the petrol version. Whereas its performance and power is also going to be same as that of petrol version.
What did Nitin Gadkari ji say?
The Indian Union Transport Minister, Shri Nitin Gadkari, has also urged citizens to embrace this technology by using flex fuel cars in the country’s market. This time, he has invited more people to utilize the flex fuel engine on the platform. And with this, we’ll be able to get closer to having an independent India. It won’t be necessary to import pricey gasoline from overseas.
Through this technology, petrol will be able to run between 20% to 85% ethanol. There has also been a response from Maruti Suzuki on this, the company says that we have this technology completely ready, we just need the infrastructure.
What is flex fuel?
An alternative fuel produced by combining gasoline, methanol, or ethanol is called flex fuel. The engines in flex fuel vehicles are made to run on multiple fuel types. The fuel system and engine are heavily modified. As a result, it looks like the typical gasoline model. Because it is made from corn and corn, flex fuel is also known as alcohol base fuel.
Starch and sugar fermentation is done in its manufacturing process, apart from this, ethanol engines are also much more economical than normal petrol. While the price of petrol in the Indian market is around ₹ 100, the price of ethanol is going to be between ₹ 60 to 70. And apart from this, it is also going to prove to be a boon for our farmers. The condition of the farmers of our country will also improve and our economy is also going to see more growth.
Future of flex fuel in India?
Flex fuel will eventually make its way into the Indian market, though. However, there is a lot of work being done on this technology. The Indian market will see a lot of projects utilizing flex fuel technology in the near future. Flex fuel technology was spotted in the Toyota Innova High Cross abroad a while back.
