Maruti S-Presso

No upgrade on the Maruti S-Presso is covered by the equipment it adds. The closest is VXi(O) → VXi+(O) on the Petrol manual: ₹50,000 buys ₹11,900 of equipment — 23% of the price rise.

Maruti's SUV-styled entry hatchback, launched in India on 30 September 2019 and sold through Arena, with the 1.0-litre K10C petrol it shares with the Alto K10, as a manual, an AGS automatic or a factory CNG, across Std(O), LXi(O), VXi(O) and VXi+(O).

Which variant to buy

Where the money buys the most equipment, and where it buys the least

No variant on the Maruti S-Presso is covered outright by the equipment it adds — the best of them reaches 23%. Here is that variant and the weakest one, both computed from the same feature valuations.

This is not a recommendation of a trim — it is the variant whose price rise our tracked equipment best explains, and the one it explains worst. A feature you will never use is worth nothing to you, whatever we value it at. Every upgrade, in order.

Equipment

Fuel only. Certified figures are measured on a test cycle and real-world driving usually uses more, so treat these as the low end. CNG is ₹87/kg, the Delhi supplier's own price read 4 Nov 2026.

Maruti S-Presso: questions buyers ask

Which Maruti S-Presso variant is the best value?

VXi(O) 1.0 Petrol MT to VXi+(O) 1.0 Petrol MT costs ₹50,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹11,900 — 23% of the price rise. That is the variant upgrade where equipment explains the most of what you pay. No variant on this car is covered outright by the equipment it adds, so this is the closest it gets. The figure is computed from the feature difference, not chosen.

Which Maruti S-Presso variant gives back the least?

Std(O) 1.0 Petrol MT to LXi(O) 1.0 Petrol MT costs ₹32,500, and it changes no equipment we track. The rest of that money goes on things we do not itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin.

How many variants does the Maruti S-Presso have?

8, across 3 powertrains, from ₹3,49,900 to ₹5,27,400 ex-showroom. Every variant Maruti prices: four trims on petrol, AGS on the VXi(O) and VXi+(O), and CNG on the LXi(O) and VXi(O). Maruti sells no dual-tone or appearance edition of this car.

What is the EMI on the Maruti S-Presso?

About ₹6,391 a month for the cheapest variant, Std(O) 1.0 Petrol MT: ₹3,87,121 on the road in Delhi, 20% down, and a loan of ₹3,09,697 at 8.75% a year for 5 years. A different rate, tenure or down payment changes it — the EMI calculator works it out for your own figures.

What are the Maruti S-Presso's dimensions, boot space and ground clearance?

It is 3,565 mm long, 1,520 mm wide and 1,567 mm tall, on a 2,380 mm wheelbase. We hold no ground clearance figure from Maruti Suzuki's own documents. The fuel tank holds 27 litres. These are Maruti Suzuki's own figures.

When was the Maruti S-Presso launched?

The Maruti S-Presso on sale now, the first generation, was launched in India in Sept 2019. It has not been facelifted since.

Is a new Maruti S-Presso or a facelift coming?

Maruti Suzuki has announced nothing, and we found no credible reports of one as of 1 Nov 2026.

What colours does the Maruti S-Presso come in?

Maruti Suzuki lists 7 colours: Solid Sizzle Orange, Pearl Starry Blue, Solid White, Solid Fire Red, Metallic Granite Grey, Metallic Silky Silver, Bluish Black. Not every colour is offered on every variant.

What is the Maruti S-Presso's safety rating?

Global NCAP (Dec 2022): 1 stars for adult occupant protection and 0 stars for child occupant protection (20.03/34 and 3.52/49 points). Tested without ESC; Maruti now fits ESP to every variant. Still 2 airbags.

What is the on-road price of the Maruti S-Presso?

The cheapest variant, Std(O) 1.0 Petrol MT, comes to about ₹3,87,121 on road in Delhi — ₹3,49,900 ex-showroom plus road tax, insurance, registration and TCS where it applies. Road tax is set by the state, so the total moves by a lakh or more between them.

How we checked these figures

Data notes — where these figures come from

Prices from Maruti's own Arena price service and its price page, ex-showroom Delhi, read 29 Oct 2026; metallic and non-metallic paint cost the same, and no dual-tone version is offered. Equipment, engine figures and efficiency from Maruti's brochure (December 2025), which gives one column per trim across its powertrains. Every variant has ESP and dual airbags, so the stability-control entry is credited on all of them; Hill Hold is marked 'AGS Only'. The VXi(O)'s SmartPlay Dock (Bluetooth, USB, two speakers) counts as an audio system; the VXi+(O)'s 7-inch SmartPlay Studio has wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so wireless Android Auto is not credited. Remote keyless entry and central locking arrive on the VXi(O); electrically adjustable mirrors and steering-mounted controls on the VXi+(O). The brochure lists front power windows only, so rear power windows are not credited. The digital display in the instrument cluster is a centre speedometer readout and does not earn the digital-cluster entry. The brochure has no rows for a rear defogger, rear wiper, the inside mirror type, a seat-height adjuster or a split rear seat, so none is credited. Std(O) to LXi(O) adds air conditioning and power steering, neither of which this site prices, so that step shows no tracked gain. The CNG variants seat four, per the brochure. Maruti prints the engine in kW: 50.4 kW and 91.1 Nm on petrol, 41.7 kW and 82.1 Nm in CNG mode; its model page quotes lower figures in places, and the brochure's are stored. Certified efficiency: 24.12 km/l (Std, LXi), 24.76 km/l (VXi, VXi+ manual), 25.30 km/l (AGS), 32.73 km/kg (CNG).
