Maruti Suzuki had cars such as 800, Esteem, Zen and Gypsy in its portfolio back in the late 90s, but with the competition creeping up and Indian automotive market just getting bigger, Maruti Suzuki had to come out with something unique to counter the Santro from Hyundais stables.

The car was called Wagon R and the suffix read MAV which Maruti claimed as Multi Activity Vehicle.
