Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Features And Overview

The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is a small hatchback with a tall, mini SUV look. You sit high, so you get a clear view of the road, and the small body fits into tight parking spots. It is one of the most affordable cars on sale.

It has one engine, a 1.0 litre K10C petrol that makes 68 bhp and 91.1 Nm. You get a 5 speed manual or the AGS automatic, and there is also a factory CNG version for the lowest running cost.

Prices run from ₹3.50 Lakh for the Std (O) to ₹5.27 Lakh for the VXi+ (O) AGS, across eight variants. The price gaps between them are small, so moving up for more features does not cost much. You can estimate the S-Presso on-road cost before choosing.

This Maruti hatchback is aimed squarely at first-time buyers and families wanting a cheap second car. The raised seating helps in traffic, the controls are simple, and a 4.5 metre turning radius makes tight U-turns easy. Every version gets dual airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD and reverse parking sensors. Check the trim before you buy, though. The base Std (O) has no air conditioning and no power steering, and both arrive on the LXi (O) for ₹32,500 more.

If your budget is tight but you still want the taller stance of an SUV-styled car, the S-Presso is worth a look. The petrol versions seat five, while the CNG versions are rated for four. Once a trim appeals, pick an S-Presso colour to finish up.
