Maruti Suzuki will launch a new and updated model of the Wagon R in March 2010. The new model comes as a part of Maruti Suzuki’s efforts to upgrade its models according to Bharat Stage IV norms. MSIL is aggressively working on defending its 50 percent market share in the country by revamping and rejuvenating its existing models. It has already launched two new models A-star and Ritz that come with new BS IV compliant K-series engine. The new Wagon R model will not only be powered by the same K-series engine but will also be available with CNG option.
Apart from the new engine, it is also rumored that the new Wagon R will also be revamped completely inside out. It will feature new and better exteriors and upgraded interiors. The top end variants are also expected to feature ABS and airbags. New exteriors include complete new front facia as well as new head lamps and tail lamps.
There is no official information from MSIL regarding new model of Wagon R. An MSIL spokesperson has earlier commented, “We have exhausted our quota of new cars with eight new launches in India in the past three years. Now we are looking at strengthening our leadership by refreshing our old portfolio."
