Next-gen WagonR AMT variant spied

The next-gen WagonR equipped with an automated manual transmission (AMT) has been spotted at a stock yard.

According to a leaked brochure, a 5-speed AMT will be available on the VXi and ZXi trims. The car pictured here has a rectangular grille with chrome inserts, sweptback headlamps and is equipped with front fog lamps. ORVMs have integrated turn signals and it has a rear wiper as well. The interior looks identical to the manual variant except for the transmission lever, which has silver trim on the knob instead of chrome. Besides this, the car has a dual-tone dashboard with a touchscreen infotainment system and a 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel.

The VXi AGS variant will be offered with a choice of a 998cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine with 67 BHP and 90 Nm and a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol unit that makes 82 BHP and 113 Nm of torque. The top-spec ZXi AGS only comes with the larger 1.2-litre engine.

The new WagonR will be launched on January 23, 2019.
