Maruti Wagon R Now Gets Swivel Seat Option

Maruti Suzuki has officially rolled out a swivel seat accessory for the Wagon R. This feature is meant to support people who face difficulty while getting in and out of a car. The company has positioned this as a practical solution rather than a major vehicle modification

The swivel seat is offered as a retrofitment kit, which means it can be installed not only on new Wagon R models but also on existing ones already on the road

Retrofit Kit Designed For Easy Installation

One of the key highlights of this new offering is its simple installation process

• The swivel seat kit does not require replacement of the original seat
• It can be installed in around one hour
• No cutting, welding or structural changes are needed
• The original design and integrity of the vehicle remain untouched

This approach allows owners to upgrade their Wagon R without worrying about long installation times or vehicle damage

How The Swivel Seat Helps Senior Citizens And Persons With Disabilities

The swivel seat has been designed to make daily travel more comfortable and stress-free

• The seat rotates outward to help passengers sit down easily
• It reduces strain on knees, hips and lower back
• Getting in and out of the car becomes smoother and safer
• Ideal for elderly users and people with limited mobility

This feature improves independence for users who otherwise depend on assistance during entry and exit

Safety Standards And Testing By ARAI

Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that safety has been a major focus during development

• The kit has undergone extensive testing
• Testing was conducted at the Automotive Research Association of India
• The swivel seat meets all applicable safety standards
• It does not interfere with the vehicle’s existing safety systems

This ensures that users get added convenience without compromising on safety

Warranty Coverage For Added Peace Of Mind

To support customers further, Maruti Suzuki is offering warranty coverage on the swivel seat kit

• The accessory comes with a three-year warranty
• Coverage applies to manufacturing-related issues
• Reinforces confidence in long-term use

This warranty adds assurance for families planning to use the feature regularly

Developed With TRUEAssist Technology

The swivel seat kit has been developed in partnership with TRUEAssist Technology, a Bengaluru-based startup

• The startup specializes in mobility and assistance solutions
• Collaboration helped focus on real-world user needs
• Design emphasizes comfort, safety, and ease of operation

This partnership brings together automotive experience and specialized accessibility knowledge

Availability Across Select Maruti Suzuki Dealerships

At launch, the swivel seat kit will be available at 200 Maruti Suzuki Arena dealerships spread across 11 cities in India

Availability details:

• Limited rollout in the initial phase
• Focus on key urban centers
• Wider expansion planned in the future

Customers are advised to check with their nearest Arena dealership for exact availability

No Impact On Vehicle Structure Or Performance

An important aspect of this kit is that it does not affect how the Wagon R drives or performs

• No changes to chassis or body
• No impact on driving position
• Vehicle balance and structure remain the same
• Fully compatible with existing Wagon R models

This makes the retrofit safe and practical for everyday use

A Step Toward Inclusive Mobility

With this new swivel seat option, Maruti Suzuki is addressing the needs of a large but often overlooked group of users. By offering a simple, tested and warranty backed retrofit solution, the brand is making the Wagon R more accessible without increasing complexity

This move highlights a growing focus on inclusive mobility, where comfort and usability matter as much as design and features
