Suzuki is showcasing the 2017 Suzuki Wagon R at the
2017 Tokyo Motor Show. The company launched the all-new Suzuki WagonR in Japan
in February this year.
The fully redesigned JDM-spec Suzuki WagonR is
available in two styling iterations. The one seen in the images is the simpler
one of the two. The 2017 Suzuki Wagon R is 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide and
1,650 mm tall. The new generation Wagon R rides on Suzuki’s new lightweight and
rigid Heartect platform that underpins much bigger cars such as the Baleno and
Swift.
The micro hatchback is available with only one
engine – R06A 0.66-litre VVT petrol. The naturally aspirated three-cylinder
engine produces 52 PS at 6,500 rpm and 60 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. A 5-speed
manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission sends power to the
wheels. A 4WD system is available optionally.
The lack of the ‘Hybrid’ badge on the display car’s
fenders and the tailgate means that it is the FA grade model which doesn’t have
the mild hybrid system.
LED headlamps, 14-inch alloy wheels, aerodynamic
bumpers, side underbody spoilers, roof spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel,
head-up display, sound system with 4 speakers and 2 tweeters, around view
monitor and Dual Sensor Brake Support (DSBS) system are the key features of the
2017 Suzuki Wagon R.
The 2017 Suzuki Wagon R’s prices start at
JP¥ 10,68,920. Suzuki builds the JDM-spec version at the Kosai
Plant in Japan.
