• Maruti Suzuki All Set to Launch the New Wagon R

  The next-gen Maruti Suzuki is all set for its launch in the Indian car market. The car will be available for purchase on 23 January 2019. The facelift version of the Wagon R will come with a wider and slightly longer body, yet not deviating too much from its original dimensions.

  The 2019 Wagon R bears very little resemblance to the previous versions of the hatchback. The front of the car is constructed similarly to that of an SUV. Additionally, the car comes with taller headlights, a matte black finish on the grille and lower bumper and a floating roof.

  Under the hood, the car will be powered with a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder engine. This will most definitely mean higher power output and torque than its predecessors. The car will also come in CNG variants and with automatic transmission options as well. The pricing for the new Wagon R is estimated to be around Rs.4.5 lakh to 6.5 lakh and will compete with the likes of the new Hyundai Santro.
