Maruti Udyog gives a fresh look to WagonR

Maruti Udyog Ltd has announced that the Company has given a brand new look to its popular model WagonR, with major changes in the front, rear and the interiors.

The new WagonR, launched, is 10 per cent more fuel efficient compared to the outgoing WagonR.

The Company today also launched WagonR Duo, which can run on Petrol and LPG. The running cost of WagonR Duo, using LPG, is about 33 per cent less than the running cost of a petrol vehicle in the same category.

Since WagonR Duo comes with an approved factory-fitted LPG kit, it enjoys all the warranty benefits which are available on other car models. Thus, WagonR Duo will provide customers the benefits of lower running cost, without the safety risk associated with unapproved LPG kits.

The LPG kit in the WagonR Duo is approved by Department of Explosives and tested and certified by Automotive Research Association of India, the premier testing and certifying authority for automobiles in the country.

The LPG tank in the WagonR Duo has a special "toridal" design. This allows intelligent use of space and makes luggage room available to the customer at the rear of the car.

The new WagonR has been styled and designed entirely by Indian engineers at the Company. After the success achieved by Indian engineers in the development of the Swift, the new WagonR is another example of Maruti´s growing styling and design expertise.

The project to upgrade the WagonR lasted 18 months.

Commenting on the new-look WagonR, Managing Director of the Company, Jagdish Khattar said, "WagonR has a large set of loyal customers who like it for its space, comfortable ride, superior technology and refined engine. But there was some concern about its "boxy" and flat looks. The new WagonR, while retaining the earlier benefits, comes with more appealing looks and 10 per cent better fuel efficiency".

On the WagonR Duo, Mr Khattar said: "We are delighted to launch another clean fuel car in India. For the first time, customers now have a car which while being economical to drive, also offers space, superior technology and a refined engine. It is certified as completely safe and reliable. The Duo is truly a triple delight".

With the WagonR Duo providing a full-fledged petrol tank and an LPG tank, the customer can travel over 800 kilometres without the vehicle requiring a refill.
