2. history
 The Suzuki Wagon R is a kei car produced by the Japanese
manufacturer Suzuki since 1993. The R in the name stands for
Recreation. It is one of the first cars to use the "tall wagon" or
"tall boy" design, in which the car is designed to be unusually tall
with a short bonnet and almost vertical hatchback, and sides in
order to maximize the cabin space while staying within the kei
car dimension restrictions.
 The Wagon R has been the best-selling kei car in Japan since
2003;[1] and in 2008, Suzuki expected to produce its three-
millionth Wagon R.[2]
 It has been a profitable car for Suzuki even in the International
market, mainly since introducing the car in India. Sales of
Suzuki Wagon R have reached 5 million units at the end of
February 2010.

3. First generation (1993–2006)
 The first generation Wagon R is 1,640 millimetres (64.6 in) high, or 255 millimetres
(10.0 in) taller (170 mm (6.7 in) internally) than the JDM Suzuki Alto sold at the same
time (which was exactly the same length and width). The R used the same
660 cc F6A three-cylinder engines as did the Alto and other Suzuki kei cars. Originally
with two doors on the left side and a single door on the right (driver's) side, it was
introduced at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show.[3] Later cars received the more common,
symmetrical five-door setup. For model year 1994, it won the Automotive Researchers'
and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan.
 The rebadged Mazda AZ Wagon was presented in September 1994. Also using the F6A
engine, this model was marketed through Mazda's Autozam network as part of an OEM
deal.[4]
 A bigger first generation Wagon R, the Suzuki Wagon R+, was added in early 1997 and
manufactured in Japan until the end of 2000 for the European market. The car featured a
wider body and the K10A naturally aspirated engine with 996 cc and four-cylinders. The
same Wagon R+ was also available with a 1.2 litreK12A engine.
 In Indonesia, this generation is called the Suzuki Karimun and in production from 1999
until 2006.

4. Second generation (1998–2010)
 1998 saw the introduction of the second-generation
Wagon R in Japan, with the redesign of the Wagon R+
and replacing it in 1999 - this was brought to Europe in
2000, with larger engines. This is also produced
in Esztergom in Hungary by Magyar
Suzuki and Gurgaon, India. The Opel Agila is a badge
engineered version of the Suzuki Wagon R+, also
introduced in summer 2000. This generation Maruti
Wagon R in India was produced until 2010.

5. Third generation (2003–2008)
 The third generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in
September 2003 for the Wagon R's tenth Anniversary, but now
only as a 660 cc K6A-engined kei car - no oversized version (like
the previous Wide and + versions) was developed. The third
generation was then facelifted in September 2005 and replaced
three years later.
 The Stingray, first seen in February 2007, was a sportier version
of the third generation Suzuki Wagon R. In addition to a more
aggressive front end treatment, the Stingray also received clear
taillights. Alloy wheels and an aero kit were also standard. The
660cc engine was powered by a turbocharger, further enhancing
the speed and acceleration. With a perfect power-to-weight ratio,
the low-weight car performed exceptionally well at high speeds
with O/D off. On the average, the Stingray went from 0KM/H to
100KM/H in about 15 seconds only.

6. Fourth generation (2008–2012)
 The fourth generation Wagon R was launched in Japan in
September 2008 along with the sportier Stingray, AZ-Wagon and
AZ Wagon Custom variant (the latter two manufactured
for Mazda). Significant differences for the new generation
include larger rear doors, which incorporate quarter glass,
eliminating the need for a D pillar arrangement. Powertrain
options include naturally aspirated and turbocharged 660 cc
engines with the latter developing an output of 64 PS (47 kW),
mated to a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed manual or a CVT
transmission. As with many other Japanese market models,
customers can choose between front-wheel and all-wheel-drive
versions.
 Suzuki in Pakistan (PakSuzuki) is known to be starting the local
assembly of the WagonR in their Pakistan plan from April 2014.

7. Fifth generation (2012–present)
 The fifth generation Wagon R range was launched in Japan in
September 2012 and for the first time, this generation now comes with
the a new mild-hybrid system named "ENE-CHARGE" (short for
'energy charge') and an energy-saving electric air conditioning system
dubbed "ECO-COOL". With the R06A engine combined with an
electric motor/generator and a lithium-ion battery, this new ENE-
CHARGE provides regenerative braking and at least some level of
power assist to the internal combustion engine while it can also run
certain electrical equipment. Thanks to this technology, the new
Wagon R can get up to 28.8 km/l in Japan's JC08 driving cycle
(67.8mpg US, 3.5lt/100 km EU or 81.4mpg UK).
 For its Mazda version, it no longer bears the "AZ-Wagon"
nomenclature because the fifth-generation Wagon R models are
rebadged as Mazda Flair while fifth-generation Wagon R Stingray
models are rebadged as Mazda Flair Custom Style.Both the Flair and
the Flair Custom Style were launched in October 2012.[5]

8. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
 The Maruti Wagon R is an Indian version of the international Suzuki Wagon R,
manufactured and sold by Suzuki's Indian subsidiary Maruti Suzuki. The Wagon R was
launched in December 1999, and has since undergone three upgrades (one in 2003,
another in 2006 and another in 2010). When the second-generation Wagon R was
launched in 2010, the car was built on a newer platform, and claimed more interior space,
and new features such as an under-seat tray below the front passenger seat (top-end
only). Its looks were also revamped, shedding the boxy look at the back. It was now less
van-like, becoming simply another affordable hatchback, albeit with somewhat taller
styling. It is one of the best selling models of Maruti Suzuki in India and continues to be
the fourth best seller of the company after Alto every month.
 Originally all Indian Wagon Rs received Suzuki's 1.1 L F10D petrol engine producing
64 bhp (48 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb·ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm. The newly
launched Wagon Rs are powered by the company's well known K series engine.
This K10B petrol engine benefits from a 5 speed manual transmission gearbox. The
aluminum K10B engine of Maruti is very light and produces a power of 68 PS (50 kW;
67 hp) at 6,200 rpm and a torque of 90 N·m (66 lb·ft) at 3,200 rpm. Also, a new LPG
version called DUO has been introduced lately for the F10D engined variants, which runs
either on petrol and LPG.
