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.
