Suzuki Goes WagonR Crazy: 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon
Suzuki may no longer exist in America, but the Japanese automaker is still performing just fine in its home country.
The Suzuki Wagon R was first introduced in Japan back in 1993 and has been the best-selling kei car in Japan since 2003. So it’s no surprise that the Japanese automaker made its funky, boxy model the main vehicle at its 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon display.

At the center of it all is a pair of customized WagonRs, one called the Stingray WagonR Customize and the other being a WagonR RR Concept. Both vehicles were based on the fifth-generation WagonR which was recently launched in Japan. The WagonR Stingray Customize builds on the higher-end Stingray model with a unique brown exterior shade, teal-accented headlights and LED strips and a body kit that gives it a much lower stance.
As for the WagonR RR Concept, the standard model WagonR gets outfitted with sportier suspension, smoked headlights, black wheels, a body kit, and a center exit, twin exhaust.
