Suzuki is likely to showcase the crossover version of the Wagon R in Indonesia during the upcoming Jakarta Fair that is set to begin on June 10. A similar model rechristened as the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R XRest, was showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo event.
Under the hood, the Suzuki Wagon R crossover is expected to be powered by the India-spec 1-litre, 3-cylinder engine that puts out 67bhp of power and 90Nm of torque. The engine will come mated to a five-speed manual transmission and AMT options.
The crossover model is expected to carry forth some design elements from the XRest. As seen at the 2014 Auto Expo, the car featured a new grille, LED elements in the tail lamps, projector headlamps and faux air vents on the front fenders. The car also had a rugged body kit including black plastic moulding and a silver skid guard that flows from the front bumpers to sides and then going on to connect the rear bumper.
In India, the Wagon R has been serving the local market for more than a decade now. With the growing trend of crossovers in the country, the new Wagon R crossover might generate good response.
