In the middle of a slowdown, Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, is debuting an all new premium WagonR Stingrayin the small car segment. It would position this all-new car higher than the WagonR. The new Stingray variant hit the Japanese market last year and carries several improvements that would also be updated in the Indian variant.

 

First seen in February 2007, Stingray is a sportier version of the WagonR with a more aggressive frontal styling and masculine cues in the rear. While the overall shape is expected to be on the lines of a standard WagonR, Stingray would have thinner and deeper headlamps with sleeker and sportier chrome strip on the grille that runs between these horizontal front lights. The interiors would be also be reworked with different colour contrasts and an integrated gear stick on the dashboard rather than the floor. 

 

According to two people having direct knowledge of this probable launch, it is one of the major products for Maruti to gain volumes in 2013 and should debut during the lead monsoon season.It's a new upscale variant of the WagonR that would be sold along with the existing car. While the trial production is on its way, the launch should happen in the next few months. It would help the company to space out a new premium position for this car, along with its other offering to break away from the immensely crowded Indian small car market.

 

While the Japanese variant comes in a sophisticated but smaller 660 cc engine, the Indian car would have fuel efficient and responsive 1000cc three-cylinder KSeries petrol engine that also powers the A-Star and Alto K10. As sales of petrol cars are on the decline and to fight the dull sentiment prevailing in the domestic market, Maruti may also debut the CNG and LPG variants that are available in the current Wagon R sold in India.

A diesel variant is ruled out for the time being as the company is still working on a compact diesel engine for its smaller models. Unlike the Japanese variant that is mated to an automatic transmission, the local car would be initially available with a manual transmission for its normal trim levels
