In response to the competition, particularly the newly launched Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki has added a touchscreen infotainment system and steering-mounted audio and Bluetooth controls to the Wagon R for the very first time.
The multi-function steering wheel has been picked from the Maruti Ignis, while the center console has a ‘floating’ design integrating the gearshift lever to free up space on the floor. Although the color scheming remains familiar with the outgoing model, the overall design isn’t as impressive as one might have expected.
