Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not for flashy features or bold design tweaks — it’s about practicality and efficiency. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG has now become one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its segment, with a claimed mileage of 32.73 km/kg. At a starting price of just ₹4.27 lakh (ex-showroom), it checks a lot of boxes for budget-conscious buyers.
Simple Yet Distinctive Design
The design of the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is familiar yet functional. It sits tall like a mini-SUV, with a boxy shape and upright stance that gives it a unique road presence in the entry-level car segment. The tall-boy design means it’s easier to get in and out, especially for elderly passengers.
You’ll find a minimalistic front grille, squared headlamps, and chunky black cladding around the bumpers, which adds to its rugged look. While it’s not meant to turn heads, it definitely stands out in a crowd of small hatchbacks.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso keeps things basic but useful. The standout element is the centrally-mounted digital instrument cluster, which gives it a funky, modern touch. There’s a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (in higher variants) that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You also get manual AC controls, power windows, and steering-mounted audio controls depending on the variant.
The cabin is upright and spacious, especially in the front. Headroom is generous, and rear passengers won’t feel cramped unless it’s three adults at the back.
Engine and CNG Performance
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is powered by the same 1.0-litre K10C petrol engine, which has been tuned to run on CNG efficiently. In CNG mode, it produces 56.69 PS of power and 82.1 Nm of torque, which is decent for city driving.
It uses a 5-speed manual transmission, and while it’s not a car you’d want to push hard, it feels comfortable and easy to drive in traffic. The power delivery is smooth and predictable, making it great for first-time car buyers.
Class-Leading Mileage
Where the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso truly shines is in its fuel efficiency. Maruti Suzuki claims a mileage of 32.73 km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient factory-fitted CNG cars in India. For someone with a daily commute or city errands, that’s going to mean serious savings at the fuel pump.
Final Verdict and Pricing
With a starting price of ₹4.27 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso offers an affordable and practical solution for people looking to beat rising fuel costs. Add Maruti’s strong service network and low maintenance costs, and it becomes an even more attractive deal.
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense city car that’s cheap to run, easy to drive, and backed by reliable after-sales support, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG fits the bill quite well.
