Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Bookings Crosses 10,000 Units Since Launch: Rivals The New Renault Kwid
Maruti Suzuki launched the S-Presso in the Indian market on the 30th of September. The company has announced that within the first 11 days, the Maruti S-Presso has received over 10,000 units of sales in the Indian market.
The new Maruti S-Presso is based on the ‘Future-S' concept showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. The car has been launched as a mini-SUV, positioned above the Alto K10 in the brand's product lineup.
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso comes with a brand new design language, including a tall upright A-pillar and high ground clearance giving it an SUV-ish stance. The design also includes a sleek front grille, with large headlamp units flanking either side.
The side profile comes is clean and simple, characterised by the 13-inch (optional 14-inch) wheels with steel covers. The rear profile also comes with a pair of neatly designed taillights, large bumper and reflectors at either end.
Inside, the Maruti S-Presso comes with a centrally-placed instrument cluster. The S-Presso comes with a central housing for both the instrument cluster and the large infotainment system, surrounded by contrasting circular elements
The instrument cluster is fully digital, while the large touchscreen infotainment system comes with Maruti Suzuki's latest SmartPlay Studio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Other features also include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, seat-belt reminders, high-speed warning and a host of other features and safety equipment.
The Maruti S-Presso borrows its engine from the Alto K10. This comes in the form of a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 67bhp and 90Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, with the higher-spec variants receiving the optional AGS automatic transmission as well.
Maruti has updated the engine on the S-Presso to comply with the upcoming BS-VI emission norms. It is the first car to debut a 1.0-litre BS-VI petrol engine, which will be later carried forward on the Alto K10; closer to the emission deadline.
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso comes with a starting price of Rs 3.69 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 4.91 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom (Delhi). The S-Presso is further available in four main trims, Std, LXi, VXi and VXi+.
Thoughts On The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Bookings Milestone
The Maruti S-Presso seems to be off to a good start. The brand is said to have already dispatched over 5000 units of the S-Presso in the previous month. This is almost double the volume of its main rival, the new Renault Kwid. Maruti is hoping that the S-Presso will help the company witness growth in sales in the coming months.
