Spied - Facelifted Maruti Suzuki Wagon R

The Wagon R from Suzuki is the best selling Maruti after the Alto. Through these years, the drive for such high volumes has not been due to its power or pickup. Forget diesel, we have not seen powerful petrol engines on this hatchback and what we're about to get this Auto Expo is exactly that.

Thanks to Overdrive magazine, we're able to understand how the facelifted Wagon R will look like. We're not sure if Maruti began work on this model before the Estilo facelift was launched. If so then Maruti placed all the eggs in one basket.

Lucky for them the Estilo facelift clicked.

One need not be a car enthusiast to spot Wagon R's resemblance to the new Estilo. With the same 1.0-liter 3-cylinder K-Series engine, the Wagon R is expected to be quicker and quirky. Swept back headlamps, circular indicator housing and chrome finishing spruce up looks.

We don't expect the interiors to be entirely different. The ride and handling should stay the same just like they did on the revamped Estilo. We're happy with the outcome of the new Wagon R, but we sincerely wished to see the JDM Wagon R which looks modern.
