Maruti Suzuki S-Presso price, variants explained

Maruti Suzuki has launched its latest budget hatchback, the SUV-inspired S-Presso, in India at an introductory starting price of Rs 3.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Japanese brand’s rival to the Renault Kwid debuts the BS6-compliant version of Maruti’s 1.0-litre K10B petrol engine. The unit is paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard, but gets the option of a 5-speed AMT unit as well on the higher two variants. The updated 1.0-litre unit will also makes its way to other Marutis such as the Wagon R and the Celerio in the near future.

The S-Presso is available in four trim levels – Std, LXi, VXi and VXi+; all but the top VXi+ are offered with an Option pack that adds a front passenger airbag and seat belt pre-tensioners. Here is a look at what you get in each trim level.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso variant-wise prices
Variants Prices (ex-showroom, Delhi)
Standard Rs 3.69 lakh
LXi Rs 4.05 lakh
VXi Rs 4.25 lakh
VXi+ Rs 4.48 lakh
VXi AMT Rs 4.68 lakh
VXi+ AMT Rs 4.91 lakh

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Std [Rs 3.69 lakh]

  • Driver airbag
  • ABS
  • Rear parking sensors
  • Front seatbelt reminders
  • Speed alert system
  • Digital speedometer
  • Vehicle immobiliser
  • 13-inch steel wheels

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso LXi [Rs 4.05 lakh]

In addition to the Std trim, the LXi gets:

  • Air conditioner
  • Power Steering
  • Sun visors

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso VXi [Rs 4.25-4.68 lakh]

Over and above the LXi, the VXi packs in:

  • Keyless entry
  • Central locking
  • Speed sensitive door locks
  • Maruti’s SmartPlay Dock audio system with Bluetooth connectivity
  • Front power windows
  • Body coloured bumpers
  • Wheel covers for the 14-inch steel wheels
  • Gear shift indicator (MT only)
  • 12V accessory socket
  • Gear position indicator (AMT only)

Maruti S-Presso VXi+ [Rs 4.48-4.91 lakh]

The fully-loaded VXi+ additionally gets:

  • Front passenger airbag
  • 7.0-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with voice recognition
  • Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
  • Steering-mounted controls
  • Rear parcel tray
  • Internal wing mirror adjustment
  • Front seatbelt pre-tensioners
  • Body coloured wing mirrors and door handles
  • Parking brake warning

At this price point, it seems like the base variant is priced competitively but is barebones, while the higher-spec trims are well-kitted if pricey, considering the segment. As the Kwid facelift is set to launch tomorrow, we can’t objectively say if the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is competitive compared to the Renault. However, compared to the Datsun Redigo 1.0 (Rs 3.90-4.37 lakh), it does seem like Maruti may have another hit on its hands.

All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi
