The third gen WagonR will be a 7 seater MPV measuring under the 4 metre mark. Also, the MPV will be powered by petrol and diesel engines. With the MPV measuring under the 4 metre mark, it will be priced competitively at around 4.5-6.5 lakh rupees.

“Most of the work on the new WagonR is going on in the India R&D. The company sees major potential for a low-priced 7-seater vehicle coming with Suzuki’s reliability, especially in the rural market which is today almost a third of total sales,” a source close to the development said, adding that the new WagonR would also be exported to Indonesia.
