Here’s a scoop for all the Maruti followers. The company will soon launch in India its new WagonR – on the same platform as the previous one but with features of a new generation car.

The new WagonR will be powered by the Bharat Stage IV compliant 998cc KB series engine developing 67bhp (50KW) of maximum power at 6200rpm and 90Nm of maximum torque at 3500rpm (the current WagonR powered by 1061cc engine developing 64bhp of max power and 84Nm of max torque).

KB series is the same engine that powers the Maruti A-star and new Estilo. Along with the launch, Maruti will roll out a CNG variant of the new WagonR. The car has also been a given a touch-up both to the exterior and interior. The exterior changes include an all new headlamp design, new front fascia and new tail lamp styling. The new headlamp helps the WagonR to shed its boxy look and extend its life term. On the inside, the new WagonR will get an all-new instrument panel. It will also feature ABS and airbags. The new WagonR is expected to hit showrooms by March 2010.
