Updated Maruti-Suzuki WagonR launched at Rs 3.58 lakh


Maruti has unveiled the 2013 version of its hot-selling tallboy hatchback, WagonR, with updates to both its exterior and interiors. The updates to the exterior are more pronounced in the front with the new car sporting a revised grille that’s narrower and has a single horizontal strip compared to three on the outgoing model. The higher-end Lxi and Vxi variants have additional chrome detailing on them. The bumpers have been restyled with larger vents and a new fog lamp housing to enhance the overall design of the car. Maruti claims the external changes have been instrumental in reducing wind noise at higher speeds.

Manohar Bhat, Vice President (Marketing), Maruti Suzuki India, said, “WagonR is not just a bestseller for us but is also among top five models of the industry. The changes introduced on the New WagonR are in line with the customer feedback received through our regular customer engagement programmes. The new WagonR is over 8 per cent more fuel efficient, sportier, OBD-II compliant, contemporary in design and laced with utility features.”
