We reported it earlier as well that Maruti is planning to launch an all new premium WagonR Stingray, which will be positioned above WagonR models. It is expected that Maruti will launch the WagonR Stingray in India by festive season (Dushera, Diwali). We all know that the Indian auto market is now facing a slowdown, which has affected the sales of all automakers including the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India. In order to sustain in this negative environment, MSI has come up with exciting offers and special editions of its flagship models. This time, buyers will see a higher and feature rich edition of WagonR.

The WagonR Stingray has a more aggressive front fascia, as it gets a slim headlamps, slimmer chrome grille, new bonnet with larger air dam and restyled fog lamp clusters. The vehicle sports a new grey finished alloy wheels. The rear side of the Stingray comes equipped with a new, slimmer tail-lamps with clear lens units, rear spoiler, new chrome strip with WagonR Stingray logo. The interiors too are expected to get styling touches, making it better than the existing variant.

Maruti Suzuki WagonR Stingray will carry the same 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine that develops 67bhp, which also does duty to the current WagonR. We expect WagonR Stingray to be priced around Rs. 40,000 to 50,000 more than the current WagonR.
