Debut of the special edition Wagon R Smile Cream Coordinate with a heart-throbbing design

The Wagon R Smile, which was introduced as a new option in September 2021, has attracted attention from a wide range of customers for its convenient sliding doors while being lower in height than Suzuki’s light super-height wagon, the Spacia. Since then, improvements have been made to meet market needs, and in December 2024, a major minor change was implemented that brought about significant improvements, including changes to the interior and exterior design and expanded safety equipment.

Now , the newest addition to the lineup is the special edition “Cream Coordinate” model, which adds even more special character to the Wagon R Smile’s enhanced basic performance and appeal through these improvements. This special edition vehicle was developed based on the “HYBRID X” grade, and as its name suggests, it features a gentle color scheme based on a cream dessert motif that will soothe your heart just by looking at it.

On the exterior, soft beige is used on key accent parts of the body, such as the front grille, door mirrors, and even parts of the front and center pillars. The front grille is also chrome-plated, creating a sense of quality within its gentle hue. The full wheel caps that tighten up the feet are also a combination of soft beige and silver, enhancing the overall sense of unity and giving it a stylish impression. These soft beige parts, combined with the body color, further enhance the rounded silhouette of the Wagon R Smile, creating a design that is distinctive yet blends naturally into the cityscape.

Turning our eyes to the interior, we are greeted by the special space that only a cream-colored interior can offer. Beige is used in areas that passengers frequently come into contact with on a daily basis, such as the instrument panel color panel, audio garnish, and front door armrests. Furthermore, champagne gold is used for the instrument panel color panel garnish, air conditioning side louver garnish, and driver’s and passenger’s door trim color garnish, adding a touch of elegance and glamour to the softness of the beige. These special interior decorations create a bright and charming atmosphere the moment you step inside the car, making your daily commute even more enjoyable.

The body color lineup has also been carefully selected to maximize the appeal of the Cream Coordinate. Rather than being monotone, a two-tone color with a soft beige roof color has been adopted, and three body colors are available: Moss Gray Metallic, Off Blue Metallic, and Taupe Greige Metallic. Each body color, combined with the soft beige roof, expresses the gentle world view unique to the Cream Coordinate, allowing customers to choose the color that best suits their preferences.

To coincide with the launch of the special edition “Cream Coordination,” the prices of the existing “HYBRID S” and “HYBRID X” grades have been revised. The price of the special edition “Cream Coordination” is set in the same price range as the base “HYBRID X” grade, with the FF model priced at 1,864,500 yen and the 4WD model priced at 1,984,400 yen. This price setting means that customers can enjoy the functionality of the base grade while choosing a special design at the same price, further enhancing the appeal of the Cream Coordination.

Price and grade system: A lineup that broadens user choices

The new Suzuki Wagon R Smile is available in multiple grades and drivetrain options to meet the diverse needs of customers. The addition of the special edition “Cream Coordination” now offers an even wider range of choices.

In conjunction with the introduction of this special edition vehicle, the prices of the “HYBRID S” and “HYBRID X” grades have been revised. Specifically, the prices of the “HYBRID S” and “HYBRID X” grades, which are equipped with a mild hybrid system, have each increased by 49,500 yen. However, it is noteworthy that the newly introduced special edition vehicle, “Cream Coordination,” will be offered at the exact same price as the base “HYBRID X” grade. This is a very attractive point for users, as it allows them to choose a special model with a high level of design without having to bear a large financial burden.

The entry-level grade “G” is only available with a naturally aspirated engine, and is suitable for customers who want to enjoy the basic performance and ease of use of the Wagon R Smile at a reasonable price. “HYBRID S” and “HYBRID X” are models equipped with a mild hybrid system, improving fuel efficiency and driving performance. “HYBRID X” is a higher grade than “HYBRID S” and is equipped with even more comfort and safety features. The newly added “Cream Coordination” model is positioned as a model that adds a special design to the comprehensive equipment of “HYBRID X”. In this way, Suzuki offers a wide range of options to suit the budgets and lifestyles of various users.

Design evolution: Achieving both familiarity and individuality

One of the greatest attractions of the Wagon R Smile is its friendly and somewhat adorable exterior design. By keeping the overall height lower than the Spacia, it is possible to take into consideration ease of use in urban areas, such as accessing multi-story parking garages, while also achieving excellent ease of entry and exit thanks to the rear sliding doors.

The Wagon R Smile’s attractive design evolved further with the major minor change implemented in December 2024. A new exterior design was adopted, giving the car a more modern and sophisticated impression. Another major change was the addition of multiple style packages, including “Natural Chic Style,” “Cute Style,” “Elegant Style,” “Classical Style,” and “Seaside Style,” to better express the user’s individuality. Each of these style packages offers exclusive accessories and colors based on a specific concept, allowing users to create a more personalized vehicle that suits their preferences and lifestyle.

This special edition “Cream Coordinate” is a special model that builds on these design evolutions. As mentioned above, it features a color scheme based on the cream dessert motif, and by effectively using soft beige inside and out, it creates a bright and cute atmosphere that sets it apart from the conventional Wagon R Smile. In particular, the soft beige used on the front grille and parts of the pillars, as well as the interior instrument panel and armrests, is not just a simple color change; it significantly changes the overall impression of the car, leaving a strong impression that it is a special vehicle.

The interior design is also one of the Wagon R Smile’s attractions. It incorporates a friendly design into a functional layout that takes ease of use into consideration. The December 2024 update saw the color of the instrument panel revised and the multi-information display made color, improving visibility and the overall interior quality. The addition of steering wheel audio switches also improves operability while driving. Further refinements, such as changes to the shape of the personal table, the chrome tailgate garnish, and the color of the front door armrests, have been made to enhance user convenience and satisfaction.

The interior of the special edition “Cream Coordinate” vehicle is based on these improved interior designs and is further enhanced with special beige and champagne gold accents. This special accent is not just a change of color; it is placed in areas that passengers constantly see and touch, such as the instrument panel color panel, audio garnish, and door armrests, so you will feel a sense of exclusivity every time you enter the vehicle. The combination of the softness of beige and the shine of champagne gold creates a sophisticated atmosphere within a cute look, creating a special atmosphere in the interior space of the Wagon R Smile.

Powertrain and driving performance: Nimble driving and excellent fuel economy

The new Suzuki Wagon R Smile is equipped with a new generation powertrain to achieve both environmental friendliness and driving performance. The main powertrains are a 660cc naturally aspirated engine and a mild hybrid system that combines a motor and battery.

The naturally aspirated engine provides smooth acceleration around town and ample power for everyday use. Meanwhile, the mild hybrid system uses an electric motor to assist the engine when starting and accelerating, improving fuel efficiency and providing more powerful and smooth acceleration. Energy is recovered during deceleration and stored in the battery, improving energy efficiency.

These engines are mated to a new CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This new CVT is optimized to maintain efficient engine speeds across a wide range of speeds, contributing to improved fuel economy. It also achieves smooth acceleration without gear shift shock, contributing to a comfortable ride.

The Wagon R Smile’s driving performance is light and easy to handle thanks to the combination of this powertrain and CVT. Its maneuverability is particularly outstanding when maneuvering delicately in urban areas or when parking. In addition, if the model is equipped with a mild hybrid system, the powerful acceleration provided by the motor assist makes starting from traffic lights and driving up hills smoother.

The Wagon R Smile is also rated as “good” in terms of fuel economy. Models equipped with a mild hybrid system in particular achieve excellent figures in various fuel economy measurement standards such as the JC08 mode and WLTC mode, contributing to reducing daily fuel costs. High fuel economy is an important point for many users when choosing a minicar, and the Wagon R Smile achieves a high level in this regard as well.

Full safety equipment: Add peace of mind to your daily driving

Safety performance is one of the most important factors required for modern automobiles. Suzuki has equipped the Wagon R Smile with the advanced safety driving support system “Suzuki Safety Support,” which supports users in driving safely and with peace of mind.

The main safety features available on the Wagon R Smile include the following (equipment content varies depending on the grade):

  • Dual Sensor Brake Support II: Detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead using millimeter-wave radar and a monocular camera, and supports the driver by issuing an alarm and automatically braking (to reduce collision damage) if it determines there is a risk of collision.
  • Low-speed brake support (forward/reverse): When driving at low speeds in a parking lot, for example, the system detects obstacles in the vehicle’s path and applies automatic braking to help avoid a collision or mitigate damage if there is a possibility of a collision.
  • Front parking sensors: Sensors detect obstacles ahead and alert the driver with audio and visual alerts, helping the vehicle maneuver in tight spaces.
  • Departure notification function (signal change): This function detects when the traffic light ahead turns green while the vehicle is stopped and notifies the driver, preventing accidental delays in starting.
  • Lane Departure Prevention: If your vehicle is about to leave its lane while driving, the system will help guide your vehicle back into its lane.
  • Sign Recognition Function: Road signs (no entry, stop sign, maximum speed, no swerving, red light) recognized by the camera while driving are displayed on the meter display to alert the driver.
  • Lane Keeping Assist: Assists with steering to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane on highways, etc., reducing the burden of long-distance driving (HYBRID S, HYBRID X grades).
  • Adaptive cruise control [with full-speed follow and stop-hold functions]: This system maintains an appropriate distance from the vehicle ahead and also holds the vehicle stationary if the vehicle ahead stops. This makes driving on highways and other roads more comfortable and safer (HYBRID S and HYBRID X grades).

In addition to these advanced safety features, the car is also equipped with a 360-degree monitor camera system. This system combines images from cameras mounted on the front, rear, left and right sides of the vehicle and displays an image of the vehicle as if seen from directly above on the display, making it easier to grasp the surrounding situation when parking or passing other vehicles in narrow spaces, reducing blind spots and supporting safe driving. In particular, Suzuki’s first “passing assist function” allows the driver to check the situation on both sides of the vehicle using images when passing oncoming vehicles on narrow roads, making it a powerful ally for safe driving.

Additionally, a Suzuki first has adopted the “power sliding door reservation lock function” to enhance convenience. This function allows you to reserve the lock while the power sliding door is closing, without having to wait for it to close completely. This is extremely convenient when you need to leave the car quickly, such as on a rainy day or when you have a lot of luggage. In addition, both sides of the rear seats are equipped with “sliding door closers,” which automatically close the door securely even when it is half-open, making it safe for use in homes with small children or elderly people. The HYBRID S grade also features a “one-action power sliding door (left rear seat),” which allows for smoother entry and exit.

These comprehensive safety features and highly convenient functions demonstrate that the Wagon R Smile is not just a means of transportation, but is designed to be a part of everyday life and with the user’s safety and comfort as its top priority.

Design ideas for improving usability: Body size and utility

The Wagon R Smile’s body size was also designed with consideration for Japan’s road conditions and user convenience. Its overall height is lower than the Spacia, which has the practical benefit of allowing it to fit into many multi-story parking garages. And yet, thanks to the use of sliding rear doors, the opening is wide, making it easy for even small children and elderly people to get in and out. Loading and unloading luggage is also smooth, making it convenient for a variety of occasions, from everyday shopping to leisure activities.

The interior space has also been carefully designed to ensure maximum livability and cargo capacity within the limited body size of a minicar. The rear seats in particular have enough space for adults to sit comfortably, and are designed to prevent fatigue even on long journeys. There is also a high degree of freedom in seat arrangement, and by folding down the rear seats, a large luggage space can be created, which is very convenient when carrying large luggage or lots of shopping.

The shape of the personal table was revised in the December 2024 improvement. This makes it easier to use and a convenient piece of equipment that can be useful in small everyday situations. It has a drink holder and space to place small items, improving comfort in the rear seats.

In this way, the Wagon R Smile combines a compact body size with excellent ingress and egress thanks to sliding doors, a spacious interior, and high cargo capacity thanks to a variety of seating arrangements, demonstrating its high utility in a variety of situations in everyday life.

The history of the Wagon R Smile: History and evolution

The Wagon R Smile, which was released in September 2021, has established a new position in Suzuki’s minicar lineup. While the existing Wagon R uses hinged doors, the Smile has sliding rear doors, making it a model that offers convenience comparable to that of a super high-roof wagon like the Spacia, but in a more compact size.

At the time of its launch, the car was equipped with a new generation naturally aspirated engine and a new CVT, achieving both excellent fuel economy and smooth driving performance. It also introduced the advanced driving support system “Suzuki Safety Support,” ensuring high safety performance. It’s worth noting that even at this point, the car was equipped with advanced features for a minicar at the time, such as adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and a 360° viewfinder. Furthermore, it also incorporated unique innovations, such as the “power sliding door reservation lock function,” which was a first for Suzuki, and the “passing assistance function” using the 360° viewfinder camera.

In July 2023, some improvements were made to the car. The Hybrid X and Hybrid S grades were equipped with Type-A/Type-C USB power sockets in the instrument panel, meeting the charging needs of modern digital devices. The Hybrid S grade also received a chrome front grille, chrome headlamp garnishes, and two-tone 14-inch full wheel caps, improving the exterior texture. The lineup was also expanded at this time with the introduction of the special edition Wagon R Smile Hybrid S Limited.

Then, in December 2024, as mentioned above, a major minor change was made to the Wagon R Smile, including major changes to the interior and exterior design and expanded safety features, further enhancing its appeal. A wide range of improvements were made, including the introduction of a new design concept, the addition of a style package, revised and added equipment for the G/HYBRID S/HYBRID X grades, changes to the interior color, colorization of the display, the addition of steering switches, seat heaters, changes to the shape and color of the personal table, back door garnish, and front door armrests, and the addition of a wide range of new body colors.

The Wagon R Smile has undergone a minor change, with a revamped exterior design, and changes to the front bumper, front grille, and headlight designs have been made, giving it a new, more “cute and mature” impression.

The interior will feature the electric parking brake and auto brake hold features adopted in the new Swift . Safety features include a blind spot monitor , and the current dual camera brake support will be upgraded to dual sensor brake support II . New features include active cruise control (ACC), lane keeping assist, and reverse brake support, further enhancing safety. Connected services such as Suzuki Connect and drive recorder connectivity will also be available. A new body color, Taupe Greige Metallic, will be available. With many new features and design changes, it is expected that the product’s appeal will be significantly strengthened.

The dealer-installed accessories range has been expanded to include “NATURAL CHIC STYLE,” “Cute Style,” “Elegant Style,” “CLASSICAL Style,” and “Seaside Style.”

In this way, the Wagon R Smile has always listened to user feedback and continued to evolve since its launch in 2021. The introduction of this special edition “Cream Coordinate” can be said to be the latest chapter in that evolution.

Who is the new Wagon R Smile Cream Coordinate recommended for?
