Suzuki Wagon R - A Brief Review

ince 1993, Suzuki Wagon R is a constant supply source for the kei car to the world. “R” would mean Recreation in full form as officially declared by Suzuki. With the creation of this automobile item in each generation Suzuki has added to its reputation of manufacturing. The importance of the engine and layout technique is valuable and is shared by a number of brands like Mazda AZ wagon, Mitsubishi Delicia and Opel Agila.

There has been five generations of the car and the first generation is still an appropriate style and technology to adopt. Among all Suzuki Wagon R lxi and vxi are most famous. The basic style and dimensions of the car has not changed much however there were differences adopted in each generation for sure whether it was with roof racks or change in the head lamps of the car. The engine technology receives improvements as well. Like all other economical cars this car is not totally perfect but there is equipment, style and reliability to overcome the noisiness. And due to these facts, the car is popular in many parts of the world including India, Pakistan and Japan. The specifications of the car are stated below.

Exterior of Suzuki Wagon R

Suzuki Wagon R after a few years of its first generation is a reasonable style offering. The exterior dimensions are reasonable to make it fall in the Kei car classification that is most desirable in Japan and now in the rest of the world. The car has limited bonnet with well fitted head lamps. Between the head lights there is a plastic grille that is uniform in most of the cars. The back of the car is reserved with rear lamps inwards. The Suzuki Wagon R which is being offered at desirable prices in the used car market had received pretty looks in the year 2000.

Engine and Performance

The car in the years 2000-2007 might be called the best from the used car collection. The two available trims would share engines of 1.0L and 1.2L. The power in these two engines goes from 64bhp to 68bhp which is not up to desire. However, the performance factor in the 1.2L is recorded as better. From the year 2000 there is a 1.3L engine available which had noticeable boost in power to offer. The 75bhp by the 1.3L engine is so far the best engine choice in the used car collection.

Equipment

This part is a little tricky as manufacturers have divided the important equipment between different versions and you will have to miss something with each. Like with 1.0L engine there is an airbag, electric mirrors and immobilizer, prominent. The highlights of 1.2L engine would be central locks, electric windows and alloy wheels. Eventually the third choice from this era is 1.3L engine that has anti-lock brakes, electric windows, CD players and remote control central locking.

As a safety feature the airbags are standard in almost all the versions of Suzuki Wagon R.

Suzuki Wagon R Interior

The looks of the car are most likely to be of MPV and so does the interiors. Though the low quality plastic kit on the dash board would not be found improved, the airy interiors with comfortable space for four adults would be enticing about this car. if we talk about Suzuki Wagon R 7 seater, it has plenty of space inside and its suitable for large family.

The noise and low performance is ignorable within the city and for such small Suzuki Wagon R price, it definitely worth a look.
