Maruti Suzuki has started exporting the S-Presso from India in the parts of Asia, Latin America and some of the African regions. The Indian carmaker has sold over 35,000 units of the S-Presso in the domestic market so far and the model had made to the top 10 selling cars list in our market within a month of its launch. The S-Presso is essentially a jacked up hatchback and goes up against entry level models like the Renault Kwid, Datsun Redi-Go and even the Maruti Suzuki WagonR 1.0.
Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “S-Presso is a true symbol of Make in India. The car stands testament to our commitment to offer best in design, technology and safety to our customers both locally and globally. S-Presso is widely appreciated by customers in India and we are confident of its acceptance in international markets. With S-Presso we are looking to make in-roads in many new markets.”
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso will be exported in the parts of Asia, Latin America and Africa.

The engine is BS6 compliant and is offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox along with an AMT option as well. On the inside you get an all-black cabin and sufficient space for four adults. The Mini-inspired circular central console integrates Maruti’s latest 7.0-inch Smartplay 2.0 infotainment system as well which comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity options.
