Each of the variants come packed with a host of features and equipment — here is the variant-wise feature list of the Maruti S-Presso.

Having said that, here are some of the top-things to know about the all-new Maruti Suzuki S-Presso:

The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is available in a single petrol engine option. This includes a BS-VI compliant 998cc three-cylinder engine churning out 68bhp and 90Nm of peak torque. The engine is further mated to a standard five-speed manual gearbox. The higher-spec variants further get the additional AGS automatic transmission from Maruti Suzuki.

Top Speed & Acceleration

Maruti Suzuki is yet to officially announce the top speed and acceleration report for the S-Presso mini-SUV. However, comparing it to its competitors and taking the Alto K10's performance into consideration, we estimate the top speed of the Maruti S-Presso is in the range of 140km/h.

In terms of acceleration, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso should be able to reach a 0 - 60km/h time in a little over 8 seconds.

Note: The top speed and acceleration figures of the Maruti S-Presso as stated above are purely assumptions at this time. We will announce the official figures as and when revealed officially by Maruti Suzuki.
