Maruti Suzuki Launches WagonR Swivel Seat for Accessibility
Maruti Suzuki, a big car company in India, has started offering a special seat in their WagonR car that can swivel or turn around.
This makes it easier for older people and those with disabilities to get in and out of the car.
They are testing this feature in 11 cities through more than 200 dealerships.
The seat can be added to new WagonR cars or installed in older ones.
The company worked with a startup called TRUEAssist to develop this seat.
The seat has been tested for safety and comes with a three-year warranty.
Maruti Suzuki hopes this will make traveling more convenient for those who need extra help.
The WagonR is also popular for its affordable pricing, compact practical design, feature-rich interior, fuel economy, and wide powertrain choices.
Maruti Suzuki introduces an optional swivel seat in the WagonR to aid senior citizens and people with disabilities.
The feature is being piloted in 11 cities through over 200 dealerships.
The swivel seat can be ordered as a retrofit kit for new or existing WagonR models.
The initiative is a collaboration with Bengaluru-based startup TRUEAssist Technology Private Limited.
The swivel seat has undergone safety testing and complies with required standards, offered with a three-year warranty.
