| ![]() Maruti Suzuki S-Presso launch on September 30, 2019 Maruti Suzuki will launch the S-Presso hatchback on September 30, 2019. Watch the live streaming of the launch event here. As per recent spy images, the S-Presso is likely to feature SUV-like styling with an upright stance. It is expected to get twin-pod headlights at the front and slim grille with silver inserts. It could get a dual-tone front bumper and LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the S-Presso is likely to get rectangular tail lamps and a dual-tone bumper with integrated reflector strips. Media reports suggest that the Maruti S-Presso could be offered in four variants. It could be powered by a BS-VI compliant 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.

| ![]() What happens when you cross Alto with Ignis, you get S-presso. Voila. End of the day, it is going to be a seller for Maruti. Saying such cars fall in Micro SUV category is so absurd. CSUV is still passable as they've atleast got the dimesions to show, but this is just playing with us. Fooling people into thinking they are buying a car with SUV feel. Manufacturer's should park these next to a Fortuner or XUV or an ISUZU or any other SUV from their stable to get a reality check. No wonder industry is in doldrums. ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Seems to be pretty heavy for a Maruti ! Gross vehicle weight is 1170 kgs or is that a typo ? |

| ![]() This seems like common industry practice. Hyundai Santro D lite has no aircon. I think Tiago too had similar entry model. They quickly seem to vanish after launch. These models may seldom sell as they are used to print banners with low starting price. Last edited by navin : 20th September 2019 at 11:18. Reason: typo |

| ![]() More details about S-Presso emerge via AutoCar. To be sold alongside Alto, will not replace any model from the Maruti portfolio. Quote:

| ![]() For too long, MSIL has been playing up to the affordable subcompact segment by providing substandard designs on the basis of 'reliability'. I hope consumers have seen enough of this and really want something better. There is zero innovation in this segment and perhaps there will never be, considering the price constraints. This kind of a car would have sold maybe 5 years ago. Unless Maruti is actually planning to replace the Alto with a BSNCAP approved S-Presso, this one will also join the league of confusing choices. The 'second' car is no longer a feasible requirement at least in the metro cities, and even there, those who need it can probably afford one from a higher segment. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() If Future-S is the parent, then the S-Presso should be it's stillborn foetus! Yes, the S-Presso is that bad. There's nothing the Future-S and S-Presso have in common. This is Maruti's design language at it's "shi#iest". I'd rather take the original (Kwid) and leave the imitation (S-Presso) in the trash can.
