Maruti Suzuki WagonR hatchback is all set for a generation change in the Indian market. While the official launch of the car is reported to happen before 2018 festive season, a rendered image of the vehicle has been circulating on the internet. The rendered picture highlights the all-new front styling of the hatchback. Though, the new Maruti WagonR continues to carry the tall boy stance.
