Maruti Suzuki India launched the 3rd generation WagonR today. The Big New WagonR is poised to impress customers with its bold design, enhanced space, comfort, next generation infotainment system and advanced K-series engine offering excellent fuel efficiency and driving pleasure. A true tall boy, the Big New WagonR has a robust body language with a wide stance, which makes it strikingly attractive.
The Big New WagonR is engineered and built on 5th generation HEARTECT platform. The platform increases safety of occupants through effective absorption of impact and dispersion of crash energy and assures stability. Use of 40% high tensile steel provides better strength, safety, rigidity and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance.
In addition to the well proven 1.0 L engine, the Big New WagonR comes with a stronger heart of 1.2 L engine that delivers powerful performance.
The Big New WagonR offers excellent fuel efficiency for both the engine options: 21.5 km/l for 1.2 L variant and 22.5 km/l for 1.0 L variant, which is nearly 10% higher than the outgoing model.
Presenting the Big New WagonR to customers, Mr. Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India said, “We are delighted to present the latest generation of one of our most successful models – Over the years WagonR has become the choice of more than 2.2 million families. We are confident that the new WagonR with its all new robust design, dynamically crafted and spacious interiors, SmartPlay Studio, strong HEARTECT Platform and Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology will become the choice of many more Indian families.”
Maruti Suzuki and its partners have invested approx. Rs 670 crore for development of Big New WagonR.
WagonR promises enhanced safety for its occupants. Use of high tensile steel helps to improve overall safety, rigidity and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance. Safety features including Driver airbag, ABS (antilock braking system) with EBD (electronic brake force distribution), front seat belts reminder, speed alert system and rear parking sensors are standard across variants. The all-new WagonR meets all applicable regulations including offset, side crash and pedestrian safety norms.
For the new generation connected customers, the new WagonR comes with next generation SmartPlay Studio Infotainment system.
