Maruti Suzuki will launch the new Wagon R in India on January 23, 2019. The new car will be in direct competition with the Hyundai's Santro and Tata's Tiago and is expected to help Maruti Suzuki boost its overall sales figures.

The cars interiors are expected to be premium. The top variant will come with the features like a touch screen infotainment system along with an inbuilt navigation.
