WagonR (full model change, now also with bigger engine and increased length)
are reported under the compact sub-segment. The sales number of old WagonR (now
discontinued) are however, reported in the mini sub-segment. Sales numbers for
the mini and compact sub-segment may be viewed in this context.
3. XL6 launched in August 2019 and S-Presso
