Next-gen 2018 Maruti Wagon R spied testing in Shimla

The 2018 Maruti Wagon R was spied in Shimla recently, courtesy Speedhounds. It looks like Maruti Suzuki is conducting high-altitude tests with this prototype.

The next-gen Maruti Wagon R will feature an evolutionary design. Proportionally it does not look all that different from the model currently on sale. The “tall boy” design will continue through the next generation. The spy shot shows that the redesigned model having a large windshield and oddly designed large windows. Also, it hints at featuring swept-back vertical headlamps similar to those of the JDM-spec Suzuki WagonR Stingray.

The all-new Maruti Wagon R will likely arrive as Maruti Suzuki’s most economical model underpinned by the light and rigid new-generation platform “Heartect”. The new generation model will have structural enhancements to meet the new safety norms set to become applicable next year. MSIL may offer the 2018 Maruti Wagon R with an updated version of the K10B 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 68 PS and 90 Nm of torque in the current Maruti Wagon R.
