There are trendy new colour options like Autumn Orange to choose from too! Other options include a classy Magma Grey, the popular Silky Silver and Superior White, along with an understated Nutmeg Brown and bright Poolside Blue!Īlthough the new tyres, which are wider and get thicker sidewalls, look more proportionate to the body, even the top-spec variant misses out on alloy wheels, like the Santro. Going with the latest trend, Maruti has incorporated a black plastic applique on the C-pillar to create a floating roof effect. These enhancements make it look less slab-sided than the older model and also helps jazz up the exterior of the new hatchback tremendously. The new hatchback even gets a subtle, yet noticeable waistline. The third-gen model seems to be an anomaly as there are prominent creases on the wheel arches. Previous generations of the WagonR were always pretty plain-jane to look at. However, at most, we’d call the styling quirky, not unattractive. Understandably, the Wagon R looks more functional than say, the Tata Tiago, which has a more universally appealing design. And it seems like the WagonR is no longer Maruti Suzuki’s ‘Blue Eyed Boy’ as it has ditched the blue tinted parking lamps as well. It’s sad to note that the new top-spec variant, the Zxi, doesn’t feature dual-barrel projector headlamps unlike the older model’s Vxi/Stingray variant.
The headlamps are chunkier than before and are equipped with regular multi-reflector units like all its rivals except the Tata Tiago, which gets projector units in its top-spec variant. The flat rectangular grille amplifies the car’s visual width and thoughtful touches like the standard chrome grille mean even the base variant doesn’t look too bad. Maruti has taken advantage of the increased width by making the WagonR’s front fascia relatively flatter. While new WagonR has carried forward the original design approach and continues to be boxy, it looks a lot fresher than the model it replaces.
LXI SERIES WINDOWS
The 2019 WagonR’s large windows make the cabin feel airier still. The Santro does look more like an evolution of the i10 rather than the new generation of its namesake. Also, unlike the new Santro, the WagonR delivers the tallboy look more convincingly. The new hatchback continues to be a tallboy, which not only makes getting in and out of it easy but also gives it more headroom than one could ask for. Likewise, Maruti Suzuki has not tampered much with the WagonR’s design. And the increase in size is quite apparent at first glance.Īs they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The new platform not only makes it longer but significantly wider as well. The third-gen WagonR is underpinned by the latest version of Suzuki’s Heartect modular platform.
