Brochure scans of the next generation Suzuki Wagon R
and Suzuki Wagon R Stingray have leaked on the Japanese web. The 2017 Wagon R measures 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm
wide, 1,650 mm high, has a wheelbase and ground clearance of 150 mm. It weighs
between 750 kg – 840 kg (depending on the variant), and a fuel tank capacity of
27L.
In Japan, the new Wagon R will be sold in three
grades: FA, Hybrid FX and Hybrid FZ. The Hybrid FZ and Hybrid FX+FA duo feature
slightly different faces, while all three models share the same profile and
rear-end styling.
The design of the Wagon R has not changed
drastically. Subtle touches give it new freshness like a slanted B-Pillar,
chrome braces up front and a slightly peeled back headlight.
Inside, the new Wagon R has an angular floating
dashboard, finished in beige or black. The steering wheel looks identical to
the Ignis’s unit; it has a centrally-mounted instrument cluster,
console-mounted CVT and tablet-like audio system, which can be substituted with
a touchscreen infotainment system.
The 2017 Suzuki Wagon R gets driven by the R06A 660
3-cyl petrol engine that produces 52 PS and 60 Nm of peak torque. Hybrid
variants come additionally equipped with a WAO5A electric motor producing 3.1
PS and 50 Nm of peak torque. All variants offer the option of an AWD system.
The Japanese specification Wagon R will goes
on sale in Japan on February 1, 2017.
