Maruti Suzuki has been working on a new engine (codename Yp3) to replace  Alto and Wagon R.

Maruti Suzuki has been working on a new engine which would replace the engines (F8D) of Alto and Wagon R. It is expected that once the engine is replaced, the price would lower down significantly to boost the sales of these cars.
The engine, which has a codename Yp3, will be available in cars by the end of 2010. While the Alto will have 2 cylinders, there would be 3 cylinders for WagonR. It is widely believed that this methodology has been envisaged after the successful run of KB series engine in Estilo (1.0 litre), Ritz (1.2 litre) and A-Star (1.0 litre). Alto and WagonR will get the codenamed engines YP3 which will replace the current F8D engine.

Furthermore, there are indicationa that Maruti Suzuki WagonR too would get styling changes both on the exterior and interior. The exterior changes include an all new headlamp, new front fascia and new tail lamp styling. On the interiors, the new WagonR will get an all-new instrument panel.

Although Maruti Suzuk’s spokesperson could not be immediately contacted, a senior official of the company had earlier said, “We have exhausted our quota of new cars with eight new launches in India in the past three years. Now we are looking at strengthening our leadership by refreshing our old portfolio.” The company has developed the new KB series petrol engines with an investment of Rs. 1,200 crore, which will be strapped in several of these cars”. However, when queried about the proposed models which will undergo a facelift, he maintained, “Maruti follows a policy of refreshing models every five years,” without revealing anything.
