Overview

The Maruti S-Presso is a quirky tallboy hatchback often marketed as a “mini-SUV,” prized for its city-friendly performance and high ground clearance. It is powered by a frugal 998cc K10C petrol engine (66PS/89Nm) and offers a factory CNG option (56PS/82Nm). In everyday use, the S-Presso delivers peppy acceleration in town and outstanding fuel economy (~24–25 kmpl for petrol). The cabin can seat four adults comfortably and has a useful 270-litre boot. Build quality is basic – hard plastics dominate – but ride comfort is good thanks to its long-travel suspension and light steering. Overall, the S-Presso offers excellent mileage and practicality in a compact urban package, making it attractive to budget-conscious buyers.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Expert's Review 3.3

Expert reviewers highlight the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso as a practical and value-driven offering in the entry-level hatchback space. Its lightweight 1.0L petrol engine is praised for being fuel-efficient and responsive in city driving conditions. Thanks to its tall seating position and compact footprint, the S-Presso is easy to maneuver and park in dense urban traffic.

While the exterior dimensions are compact, the cabin offers surprisingly good space and can accommodate four adults comfortably. The ARAI-certified mileage of around 24 kmpl makes it one of the most efficient cars in its segment. Reviewers note that while the interior materials are basic, the overall build quality is acceptable for the price point.

However, some compromises are evident in highway performance and safety. The engine feels strained at higher speeds, requiring frequent downshifts for overtakes. Cabin noise increases as speeds climb, and thick A-pillars tend to limit outward visibility. Safety is another concern — the S-Presso scored just 1-star in Global NCAP crash tests, raising questions about occupant protection.

Overall, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is considered a strong option for city-focused buyers seeking low running costs, compact dimensions, and reliable ownership. It makes sense for first-time buyers, budget-focused families, or those looking for a secondary city car.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso User's Review 4.2

"The S-Presso is very practical. My family of four fits comfortably, and we love the mileage of ~25 kmpl on long drives. The car pulls well in city traffic, and we find the ride smooth on Mumbai roads. It lacks some bells and whistles (no cruise control, for example), and the interior feels basic with hard plastics. But for the price we paid, it’s a great deal. Buying through Spinny was easy – the car was in top shape and came with a 10-day return option, which was reassuring."

"The S-Presso is a very budget-friendly city car. It handles traffic nicely and the light steering makes parking a breeze. Fuel economy is superb (I’m getting about 22 kmpl in mixed driving). However, the engine feels strained on the highway and there’s quite a bit of road noise at speed. The cabin is clean but minimal – there are no rear AC vents or high-end finish. Overall, it’s a solid low-cost car for city use. Spinny’s team checked everything thoroughly, and I appreciate their after-sales support."

~ Amit Singh

"I bought a Maruti S-Presso from Spinny last year and it’s been fantastic for city driving. The mileage is outstanding (around 19–20 kmpl in traffic), and the high seating gives great visibility. The cabin is simple but all essential features work well (AC is strong!). I like the touchscreen and spacious boot. It’s not very fast on the highway, but for daily use it’s perfect. Spinny’s inspection gave me confidence in the car’s condition."
