The S-Presso was launched about 2 years ago in SA as an interesting contender at the budget end of the new car market.
It's definitely a small A- segment hatch but adds a few crossover/SUV styling cues to the mix as well. From the very distinctive front grille to body cladding, the tall and narrow body style make a statement.
Powered by the familiar Suzuki 1L 3 cylinder motor matched to a very light and easy 5 speed manual transmission driving through the front wheels. Figures of 50kW and 90Nm may not sound like much but Suzuki are the masters of lightweight construction that endows the car with peppy performance. Freeway cruising is handled with ease albeit with the little motor screaming somewhat and not too much in reserve for overtaking. A somewhat unfair comment because this really is a city car and best suited to that usage.
A freeway cruise showed 4.4L/100km and the overall consumption for the week was exactly 5l/100km. Yet again, Suzuki prove their economy credentials.
A 7 inch infotainment screen with Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and even a reverse camera are the features that matter to buyers in this segment. The GL+ spec has it all. Safety is taken care of with 2 airbags and ABS braking. To the best of my knowledge the S-Presso in this specification has not undergone NCAP testing. An Indian test involved a car without airbags or ABS. '
Currently priced at R157 900 as tested, this has to be a very strong contender for any buyer looking for a budget vehicle. A 2 year/ 30 000km service plan and 5 year/ 200 000km warranty are included.
