Maruti Suzuki has revised the prices of the S-Presso, one of the most affordable hatchbacks in its lineup. While the entry-level STD (O) variant retains its existing price, several other variants now cost Rs. 2,500 more.
The S-Presso continues to target buyers looking for a compact city car with a relatively high seating position, practical dimensions and low running costs. It is available with both petrol and CNG powertrains, along with manual and automated manual transmission options.
Prices
The S-Presso is offered in eight variants, with four- and five-seat configurations available across the range.
The base STD (O) variant remains priced at Rs. 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Variants from the LXi (O) MT through the VXi+ (O) AT have received a uniform Rs. 2,500 increase.
Following the revision, the S-Presso range is priced between Rs. 3.50 lakh and Rs. 5.27 lakh (ex-showroom).
| Variant range | Price revision |
|---|---|
| STD (O) | No change |
| LXi (O) MT to VXi+ (O) AT | +Rs. 2,500 |
| Overall price range | Rs. 3.50-5.27 lakh |
The relatively small increase does not alter the S-Presso’s position as one of Maruti Suzuki’s lower-priced passenger vehicles.
Features
The S-Presso is designed primarily around urban usability. Its compact footprint and 4.5-metre turning radius can make it easier to manoeuvre through crowded streets and tighter parking spaces.
Higher variants receive features such as manual air-conditioning controls, a seven-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry and power windows.
The hatchback also has a claimed ground clearance of 180mm, which can be useful on uneven roads and speed breakers.
Safety equipment has also been updated over time. As of 2025, the S-Presso gets six airbags as standard across the range.
Engine
The S-Presso is powered by a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. In petrol guise, it produces 68bhp and 91Nm of torque.
Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual transmission and a five-speed automated manual transmission, or AMT.
The CNG version produces 56bhp and 82.1Nm. It is offered only with a five-speed manual gearbox.
| Powertrain | Power | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0-litre petrol | 68bhp | 91Nm | 5MT/5AMT |
| 1.0-litre CNG | 56bhp | 82.1Nm | 5MT |
The petrol-AMT combination gives buyers an option for easier driving in stop-and-go traffic, while the CNG version is aimed at customers prioritising running costs.
Practicality
The S-Presso’s appeal comes partly from its small dimensions. Its compact size makes it suited to narrow urban roads, while the high ground clearance adds some flexibility on poor road surfaces.
The suspension setup is also known for offering a comfortable ride over typical city roads. For buyers who primarily drive in urban areas, these characteristics can be more important than outright performance.
The available CNG powertrain provides another reason for buyers to consider the model, particularly for those covering substantial daily distances.
Position
Despite the price increase, the S-Presso remains positioned toward the entry-level end of India’s passenger-car market.
The Rs. 2,500 revision is relatively modest, but buyers should remember that ex-showroom pricing is only part of the final purchase cost. Registration charges, insurance, taxes and optional accessories can increase the on-road price.
The eight-variant lineup also gives customers several choices depending on their preferred transmission, seating configuration and fuel type.
For buyers seeking a small hatchback with a compact footprint, multiple powertrain choices and six airbags as standard, the S-Presso continues to occupy a distinct position in Maruti Suzuki’s range. The latest price revision changes the cost of several variants without altering the basic engine and transmission lineup.
