Maruti Stingray might be rebadged as Wagon-R Minor

Thank you to BHPian blackwasp for sharing the price list with other enthusiasts!

A refreshed version of the Maruti Suzuki Stingray has recently been spotted with dual-tone interiors. Interestingly, the spotted model had a Wagon-R badge on the tailgate-mounted chrome strip, instead of the Stingray moniker found on the earlier model.

An official price list has also been leaked, showcasing a dealer communication that talks about the introduction of a new model called the Wagon-R Minor. This price list hints that Maruti might re-badge the current Stingray as the Wagon-R Minor. The automaker hasn't released any official announcement about the same yet.

If the Stingray is re-named as the Wagon-R Minor, Maruti might simply discontinue the current Wagon-R. Some speculations also suggest that the automaker might introduce a 7-seater version based on the current Wagon-R in the future. Use of the 'Minor' suffix in the new name might also be an indication of a bigger iteration coming soon.

Meanwhile, the model spotted with the Wagon-R badge looks identical to the current Stingray on the outside, while the interiors get a dual-tone black & beige treatment, similar to the layout found on the current Wagon-R. The seats also get beige upholstery. It must be noted that the Stingray used to come only with all-black interiors.

No mechanical changes are expected with the refreshed model. It will continue to be powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine, mated to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. The Wagon-R Minor will also get a new top-end VXI+ trim level. It will also be offered with a factory-fitted CNG kit.

Interestingly, prices of the Wagon-R Minor are similar to those of the current Wagon-R. It will thus be cheaper than the current Stingray line-up.
