Speaking about the WagonR's sales milestone, Suzuki in a statement said, 'The Wagon R was developed as a semi-bonnet-style mini wagon. It is a model that represents Suzuki, and is loved by many customers in Japan as a comfortable and easy-to-use car that puts the driver first. We have developed the technologies that have been honed in accordance with the standards for mini cars around the world in the form of the Wagon R series."
India is the biggest contributor to WagonR's sales
The WagonR's tallboy styling made way for a spacious cabin, ideal for growing Indian families, while the 1.1-litre engine was known to offer a decent blend of power and fuel efficiency. The latest generation version introduced in 2019 brought the choice of 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine options, while liberating even more cabin space. There is also the CNG option that is equally popular amongst private and fleet buyers.
A major chunk of the WagonR's sales comes from India, and the model has regularly featured as one of the top-selling cars in the country. The hatchback completed 25 years in India last year and had crossed the 3.2 million sales figure at the time.

Bitcoin hits record high above $124,000
Bitcoin hit a record high on Thursday during early Asian trading, surpassing $124,000, driven by favourable U.S. legislation and a rise in U.S. equities. The cryptocurrency rose above its previous July record, briefly exceeding $124,500 before retreating. US stocks ended higher Wednesday, with the S&P 500 index and the tech-heavy Nasdaq reaching new heights this week, contributing to the cryptocurrency's rise. Bitcoin's value has recently soared, fuelled by U.S. regulatory changes under U.S. President Donald Trump, a strong backer of the crypto sector. Its price has also been boosted by large holders of cryptocurrency, referred to as "whales". "The crypto market is enjoying a period of highly favourable fundamentals," said Samer Hasn, senior market analyst at "President Donald Trump has moved to end restrictions that previously prevented banks from doing business with companies flagged for reputational risk concerns, a category in which crypto firms were often unfairly placed," he added. Trump may also be inclined to "accelerate the integration of cryptocurrencies into the national financial system and lift additional restrictions, given his and his family's growing involvement in the sector", Hasn said. Trump's media group and Tesla, the electric carmaker owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk, are among an increasing number of companies buying huge amounts of bitcoin.
