new up coming wagonar stingray

Recently, Maruti has been at the receiving end of a lot of competition with the Honda Amaze aimed at its cash cow- the Dzire, but that is just the starting as in a few months, the Chevrolet Enjoy will be launched to compete with theErtiga and then there is a series of  the new small car launches which have  provided some tough competition to the Maruti’s line-up of small cars. When you talk about Maruti and small cars then the WagonR name has to crop up because it has been a big favourite of our market with massive sales. Recently there was a facelifted version of the WagonR launched and now there is talk of them bringing the Wagon R Stingray in India within a few months.

The WagonR Stingray will be sold alongside the current WagonR and the whole point of the Stingray model is to make it more premium and create its own USP. The Stingray (not to be confused with the Corvette Stingray) is a sportier plus more aggressive version of the Wagon R. As you can see that the headlights are sharper and more mean looking than the standard WagonR plus the cool black alloys also look wicked. The Stingray looks less bland while sporting a more aggressive stance and the rear spoiler also looks great.

Though, the basic design is the same these few styling tweaks have worked perfectly for the hatch. Inside, the sporty three spoke steering looks good and while the basic design is shared with the WagonR there will be new colours and also not to forget the gearstick is mounted on the dash (India will have a manual gearbox) rather than on the floor which gives easy access. Space and good headroom will continue to be there in the Stingray. When it comes to engines, it will have the K-series petrol engine on offer.

 

We expect the WagonR Stingray to hit the showrooms in about Sep/october with a slightly higher price than the current Wagon R, but looking at whats on offer we are sure people will not mind that.
