LXi (O) Price and Specs, Maruti Suzuki S-Presso

The LXi (O) costs ₹3.82 Lakh, ₹32,500 more than the Std (O). It keeps the same 1.0 litre petrol with 68 bhp and 91.1 Nm, the same 5 speed manual and the same 24.12 kmpl rating. The 13 inch wheels and 1553 mm height carry over too.

That extra money buys the two things the base car lacks most. You get air conditioning with a heater, and power steering for lighter turns at parking speeds. Dual airbags, ESP, reverse parking sensors and idle start/stop are fitted, just as on the Std (O).

Plenty is still missing. There are no power windows, no central locking, no keyless entry and no music system or speakers. The VXi (O) adds all of those, plus 14 inch wheels with full covers, for ₹50,000 more. If fuel cost matters most, the LXi (O) CNG keeps this kit and runs on gas.
