Mark-x Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 According to the details, the new and the third variant of Wagon R will be no different from the existing ones except the difference of transmission. The company is not expected to make any other changes to the car, considering the price constraint of the hatchback. Suzuki Wagon R has been a success story of the Japanese auto manufacturer in Pakistan. However, the hatchback has now lost the free-flowing sales primarily due to its surging price and the introduction of comparatively smaller 660cc Alto. Wagon R is currently available in the local market in two variants, i.e. VXR and VXL. The current ex-factory price of these manual variants of Wagon R is mentioned below Wagon R Auto-Gear Shift version will make its entry into the local market in the next year. The company has not yet revealed any final date of launch for the automatic version. It is worthy to mention here that the new version will also come with a price hike, which is expected to be around Rs.1-1.5 lac in the AGS variant. On the other hand, Wagon R has lost significant market share over the past six months or so. The imposition of Federal Excise Duty (FED) as well as the devaluation of Pakistani Rupee against the US dollar surged its price massively. As a result, its sales have dropped, and consumers prefer to purchase the 660cc Alto instead. In the first five months of the ongoing fiscal year, its sales have declined by a massive 74.97%. The automaker only managed to sell 3339 units of Wagon R in the July-November period. Pak Suzuki produced 6356 units of its hatchback in this period, which shows the low demand in the market. Have a look at the comparison of sales stats of Wagon R in the fiscal year 2019-20 with its corresponding period last year.
