Maruti S-Presso Fully Revealed in Latest Spy Images
Maruti Suzuki has officially announced that the much-awaited S-Presso mini SUV will go on sale in India on September 30, 2019. The company has also released a couple of sketches, showing the design direction of the mini SUV. Ahead of the launch, a new set of spy images of the S-Presso have hit the web world. The clearest images of the SUV reveal the exterior design.
The Maruti S-Presso will be sold through Arena dealership network and will be positioned between the Alto and the Wagon R. The new model will directly rival the Renault Kwid, which is set to receive a major makeover soon. The entry-level car was first previewed as the Concept Future S at the 2018 Delhi Auto Expo.
The images reveal that the S-Presso comes with rugged look and a boxy silhouette. Up front is a dual-tone bumper with black plastic cladding on the lower. It gets Jimny inspired grille, large headlamps, high-set bonnet and wider lower air-intake. The spotted model is the entry-level variant, which misses out on upmarket features like roof-rails, and body-coloured door handles, B-pillars, ORVMs and wheel covers. The top-spec model will come with all the above mentioned features. Also See – Maruti S-Presso – how different is it from Alto?
