Facelifted Maruti Wagon R Spotted Ahead Of February Launch

The updated tall-boy hatch will see some minor cosmetic changes and feature additions

• Exterior styling to be largely unchanged, save for a tweaked grille, the bigger alloys, and new dual-tone paint schemes. 

• Cabin could get new upholstery, idle start-stop function, and hill hold assist for AMT. 

• No changes expected in the engine bay. 

• Expected to demand a small premium over the current prices. 

The facelifted Maruti Wagon R has been spied for the first time. The hatchback is a part of Maruti’s upcoming eight launches for the year. Going by our earlier report, we are expecting the facelifted Wagon R to go on sale later this month. 

Going by the spy video, the 2022 Wagon R gets minimalistic styling tweaks. It’s seen with a slightly tweaked grille, bigger blacked-out alloy wheels (possibly Celerio’s 15-inchers) and a new Red dual-tone shade with a blacked-out roof. The headlamp and tail lamp design and bumpers seem identical to the pre-facelift (outgoing) model. 

Inside the cabin, the 2022 Wagon R could see some refreshments in the form of new upholstery. Feature additions could include engine idle start-stop and hill hold assist (only for the AMT variants). The existing set of features including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted audio/phone controls, and electrically operated ORVMs will be continued. 

The facelifted Wagon R should continue with the same engine and transmission options. It’s offered with 68PS 1-litre and 83PS 1.2-litre petrol engines, both paired with 5-speed manual and AMT units. It will continue with an optional CNG kit with the 1-litre engine, as earlier. 

• Maruti Celerio vs Maruti Wagon R: Which Hatchback To Buy?

The updates are expected to attract a small premium over the current prices, which range from Rs 5.18 lakh to Rs 6.58 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It will continue to rival the likes of the Tata Tiago, Maruti Celerio and Hyundai Santro.
