Japan-market Wagon R ZL and HYBRID ZX differ in equipment and WLTC economy.

The short answer

Does the December 2025 Japan Suzuki Wagon R ZL CVT return the same published WLTC figure as HYBRID ZX CVT?

No. Suzuki Japan's December 2025 release lists ZL 2WD CVT at 24.2 km/L WLTC against HYBRID ZX 2WD CVT at 25.1 km/L. Both are 0.66L Japanese kei vehicles; the Indian Maruti WagonR 1.0/1.2 uses different powertrains and certification.

Applicable to: Japanese domestic Suzuki Wagon R December 15 2025 revision, ZL 2WD CVT versus HYBRID ZX 2WD CVT; certified Japanese WLTC, not earlier MH-series or India Maruti vehicle specifications.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Check Japanese model-code, production date, mild-hybrid equipment and transmission before using a specification on a Sri Lanka-imported Wagon R.

Check 2

The same Wagon R name appears on a 998/1197 cc Maruti product for India. Manufacturer market and engine identity, not name alone, determine maintenance values.

Check 3

Japan WLTC and India test figures are different certification methods, not a controlled cross-country economy ranking.

03 / Verification and next answers

Where the numbers came from

Original Suzuki Japan December 15, 2025 Wagon R release separately lists ZL 2WD CVT, ZL 5MT and HYBRID ZX 2WD CVT 0.66L configurations and their WLTC values. No extrapolation to prior imported model codes or Sri Lankan inspection requirements.
