Which S-Presso variant gives you the most for the money?
For Chennai's heat, the S-Presso LXi (O) is the minimum, since the S-Presso Std (O) has no air conditioning. The S-Presso VXi (O) at ₹5.04 lakh adds front power windows, central locking and a Bluetooth phone dock.
The S-Presso VXi (O) AGS at ₹5.56 lakh also stays in the 12% band and adds two pedals with hill hold.

S-Presso in Chennai: questions buyers ask
Is the S-Presso VXi+ (O) AGS worth paying 13% for?
It is the only S-Presso with the touchscreen and two pedals, but its ₹5.27 lakh price crosses ₹5 lakh, so it pays 13% here. That puts it ₹57,245 above the manual S-Presso VXi+ (O) on the road.
Does the S-Presso suit a family of four?
For city trips, yes. It is 1,520 mm wide, so four adults fit, but three across the back is tight, and the CNG versions are rated for four anyway.
Does the S-Presso VXi+ (O) have colour matched trim?
Yes. Its centre garnish is orange on Solid Sizzle Orange cars and silver on the other six colours, and the mirrors and door handles are body coloured.
Does the petrol S-Presso stop its engine at signals?
Yes. Every petrol S-Presso has idle start/stop, which cuts the engine at long signals to save fuel. The CNG versions do without it.
Do the S-Presso's doors lock themselves?
From the S-Presso VXi (O) up, yes. The doors lock once the car picks up speed, which is reassuring in city traffic, and they come with keyless entry.
