The S-Presso, Maruti Suzuki’s popular entry-level hatchback, has received a facelift. Inspired by SUV styling and designed to meet the requirements of a budget-seeking customer, the new S-Presso brings with it improved fuel efficiency, refurbished features, and upgraded powertrains.
Fantastic Mileage Improvement
This new Maruti S-Presso is about mileage. The car now delivers fuel economy up to 25.30 km/l in petrol AMT versions. In uses, it is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the segment, perfectly suiting budget-friendly Indian people. The figures for manual petrol variants are currently between 24.12 km/l and 24.76 km/l according to the trim. CNG variants claim a fantastic 32.73 km/kg further establishing it as a money-saving vehicle for daily commuting.
Variant Pricing
Pricewise S-Presso has been very competitive with its various variants. The pricing begins with Rs. 3.69 lakh for the Std MT base variant and Rs. 4.05 lakh for the LXi MT. The VXi MT is available at Rs. 4.24 lakh, while the price of the VXi+ MT is set at Rs. 4.48 lakh. In case you need an automatic, VXi (O) AGS Rs. 4.67 lakh and VXi+ (O) AGS Rs. 4.91 lakh. The CNG versions comprise LXi CNG MT at Rs 4.84 lakh and VXi CNG MT at Rs. 5.08 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom Delhi and may vary slightly depending on location and dealer.
Polished Engine and Performance
It is powered by a new 1.0-litre K-Series dual jet dual VVT petrol engine under its hood. The engine is capable of producing 67 bhp and 90 Nm of torque in petrol mode. The outputs for the CNG variants comprise 59 bhp and 78 Nm of torque. Transmission could be either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. The engine complies with the latest BS6 Phase 2 and RDE norms to provide better emissions and cleaner performance.
Modified Design and Dimensions
Small cars have yet to be matched by a small mini-suv competition; the Maruti S-Presso retains its vertical mini-suv stance. It measures 3565 mm in length, 1520 mm in width, and anywhere up to 1564 mm in height according to variant. Ground clearance is generous at 180 mm, while wheelbase length is a compact 2380 mm. Dimension wise, these elements make it compact enough to give good accessibility on city driving, yet roomy enough to accommodate a sizeable cabin space.
Feature Loaded Cabin
Inside, the updated S-Presso comes with practical and functional interior. It boasts a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, digital speedometer, steering-mounted controls and front power windows. Two-tone interiors, manual air-conditioning and an up-right dashboard layout complete the modern yet practical visage of this car.
The S-Presso has been enhanced further in terms of safety. It now gets dual airbags, front, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, seatbelt reminders, and a speed alert system as standard across all variants. Higher variants also get ESP and Hill Hold Assist on AMT variants, especially useful for added safety on inclines and slippery surfaces.
Conclusion
The 2025-model Maruti S-Presso, boasting enhanced mileage, an updated engine, safety features, and competitive price tags, has been a compelling option in the budget hatchback segment. It directly caters to young urban jocks, small families, and even fleet operators in search of a low-maintenance, high-efficiency car. Basically, Maruti has focused on the fuel economy and utility of the S-Presso without having to compromise on the basic features or styling.
