Maruti S-Presso

The S-Presso will be offered with a BS6 compliant 1.0-litre petrol engine

  • The S-Presso is based on the Future S Concept shown at 2018 Auto Expo.
  • It will be available with a 5-speed MT and AMT options.
  • The S-Presso will use Maruti’s SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system.
  • It will rival the Kwid with prices starting from around the Rs 4 lakh.


    While we have already caught multiple glimpses of the upcoming Maruti S-Presso, the homegrown carmaker has gone ahead and shared the first official sketch of the micro-SUV. 
    The S-Presso first saw life as the Future S Concept at the 2018 Auto Expo. On September 30, it will become the smallest SUV in Maruti Suzuki’s line-up.
    As seen from the first leaked image, the official  sketch shows the S-Presso’s the upright front end with a high bonnet. The grille looks sleek and is flanked by boxy looking headlamps. This configuration could remind one of the Vitara Brezza. The bumper gives the front a muscular look, and overall, the S-Presso’s boxy design gives it that SUV-like stance.


    Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the new S-Presso hatchback in India on September 30, 2019 and we have got a fair idea of how it will look like, thanks to the recent teaser and some spy pictures which have surfaced online. The S-Presso looks bold and the upright face makes it look even more butch. Maruti Suzuki calls the S-Presso a Mini SUV and the stance reasonably justifies it.
    It will be offered in four variants - Standard, LXI, VXI and VXI+, and these are in turn extended into 10 trims based on optional specs and transmission choices. As far as engine options go, it will get Alto K10's 1-litre engine which hopefully will be BS6 compliant. It’s a 998 cc, three-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 67 bhp at 5500 rpm and will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed AGS (Auto Gear Shift) or AMT (Automated Manual Transmission Unit) will be optional.



    The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is based on the Heartect platform which also underpins a range of Maruti's new-age models like the Wagon R, Swift, Ignis, Baleno, Dzire, and even the Ertiga. It will be equipped with safety features like dual airbags, antilock braking system (ABS) + electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and reverse parking sensors. Moreover, Maruti may also consider introducing the 7-inch Smartplay studio touchscreen infotainment system in the higher variants of the S-Presso, like in the new Wagon R. The S-Presso will compete against the likes of the Renault Kwid and even the Hyundai Santro. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso will be retailed out of Arena dealerships in the country.
