The second generation Wagon R model and styling was also shared with the Karimun Wagon R for the Indonesian market and the Wagon R for the Pakistani market, despite several differences. ![]() ![]() The Wagon R quickly gained popularity in the country as the car came with a lot of interior space, including the ability to seat even taller passengers with ease. The car also offered features like power windows and power steering, which back in 1999 were considered luxuries in India. The car is powered by Suzukis 1.1-litre F10D petrol engine producing 64 bhp (48 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lbft) of torque at 3,500 rpm. Inside, the Wagon R got a beige dashboard with lots of storage spaces. In 2006, Suzuki launched an LPG version called DUO, which was introduced for the F10D engined variants. The car also got aesthetic overhauls with a redesigned grille and tailgate, including accents of chrome. The second generation Wagon R is also wider and taller than its predecessor. While safety enhancements have been implemented in the form of ABS, airbags and fog lamps, these are limited only to the top variant. The engine delivers 68 PS (50 kW; 67 hp) at 6,200 rpm, and 90 Nm (66 lbft) at 3 500 rpm.

The Wagon R was priced at 4.14 lakh Indian rupees or INR, while Stingray is priced INR 20,000 more than the Wagon R. It featured cosmetic changes, including a narrower grille, restyled bumpers with larger vents and a new fog lamp housing. Inside, changes included the dual glove box and an integrated Eagle Wings music system with integrated USB and AUX ports. It was essentially a restyled second generation Wagon R and it was introduced alongside the regular version.

It was unveiled in its final production form in September 2013 at the 21st Indonesia International Motor Show.
