Maruti Suzuki will launch their much-awaited 2019 Wagon R in India. The new Maruti Wagon R comes with a completely refreshed design, yet maintains its popular tall boy design. The new Maruti Wagon R 2019 will be part of the brand's HEARTECT platform, which also underpins the Swift, Ertiga and the Ignis.

Maruti Suzuki has already released a number of teaser videos showcasing the new Wagon R hatchback. The teasers showcase the new refreshed design and updates made to both the exterior and interiors of the hatchback. Bookings for the new Wagon R has also commenced for an amount of Rs 11,000 in all dealerships across the country, as well as online.

The new Maruti Wagon R will come with an updated front fascia with new sweptback headlamp units, new grille design, updated bumper and fog lamp housing. Other design updates also include updated vertically-stacked taillights and a floating roof.

The new Maruti Wagon R 2019 will rival the likes of the recently introduced Hyundai Santro, Tata Tiago, Renault Kwid and the Datsun GO. The new Wagon R hatchback is available in three trims: LXi, VXi and ZXi. All three trims will be powered by two petrol engine options - 1.0-litre three-cylinder and 1.2-litre four-cylinder unit.

The 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit will produce 67bhp and 90Nm of torque while the 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine churns out 90bhp and 113Nm of torque. Both engines will come mated to a standard five-speed manual gearbox. The 1.2-litre offering will further get the optional AGS (Auto Gear Shift) from Maruti Suzuki.
