Start with what the Suzuki Wagon R is: a 4/5-door hatchback with 657 , built from 1993, when airbags, anti-lock brakes and Japanese build quality became the world standard. What it meant takes a little longer.
How it came about
The Suzuki Wagon R (Japanese: スズキ・ワゴンR, Suzuki Wagon'āru) is a kei car manufactured and marketed by Suzuki since 1993. The R in the name stands for Revolution and Relaxation. The Wagon R uses a "tall wagon" configuration to maximize cabin space within kei car dimensional restrictions.
