The sixth generation Wagon R range was launched in Japan on 1 February 2017 and has three faces, the Hybrid FX, Hybrid FZ, and the Stingray Hybrid.
The Suzuki Wagon R is a car that made the foundation of today’s light car boom. This iteration comes with an upgraded ISG (integrated starter generator) and increased capacity for the hybrid battery.
Mild hybrid is a system that combines a generator with a motor function called ISG and a lithium-ion battery, and supplies regenerative energy such as brakes to electric equipment such as air conditioners.
In addition, 17% (weight ratio) of the body is made of ultra-high-strength steel, which is lightweight and strong, which is about twice that of the previous model.
The advantage of being lighter than the predecessor model is that the start acceleration from waiting at the traffic light has become smoother.
Daihatsu Move, Nissan Dayz, Honda N-WGN, etc. appeared one after another as rival cars, but Wagon R is still a popular model today.
