This video clip was posted on Instagram by a certain Talesh Musafir where one can watch a Maruti WagonR cross a river stream like a boss. Now, WagonR is not a vehicle that one would typically associate with off-roading or river crossing adventures. But this video clip gives a glimpse of what you can expect if you do get stuck in a situation like this. WagonR is one of the old workhorses of Maruti Suzuki in India. There is a generation of satisfied customers of this product. That is the reason why Maruti kept upgrading the WagonR regularly to keep the freshness alive. That has worked for it so far with the tallboy hatchback posting consistently healthy sales. Let us take a look in detail at the particulars of this incident.

Watch Maruti WagonR Cross River
If you wish to watch the Maruti WagonR cross a river, this Instagram post is for you. The driver of the vehicle is seen deep in the river at the start of the video. He seems to cross the river effortlessly within the next few seconds. On reaching the other side, he gives a pose to the camera person. The depth of the water is not much but at one point in the video, it reaches almost the grille height. There are not any visible modifications done to the WaonR either. However, we urge you not to do something like this on your own. This is not safe and the vehicle is not designed for it. Having said that, it still feels reassuring to know that in the case of an emergency, something like this is possible in a WagonR.
