Maruti Suzuki has officially rolled out the 2025 edition of its popular small SUV-inspired hatchback, the S-Presso. Known for its quirky design and upright stance, the S-Presso continues to appeal to buyers looking for an entry-level car with an SUV-like feel. The latest model has been refreshed with updated styling, enhanced tech features, and better efficiency, keeping it competitive in India’s growing compact car market.
Updated Exterior Design
The new S-Presso 2025 sports subtle cosmetic upgrades over its previous version. It now gets a reworked front grille with blacked-out elements, sleeker headlamp detailing, and new alloy designs that give the car a sportier edge. Maruti has also slightly tweaked the bumpers for a more confident stance while maintaining the tall-boy proportions that set it apart from rivals like Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.
Interiors with More Connectivity
Inside, Maruti has paid attention to customer feedback by upgrading cabin features. The dashboard retains its practical layout but gets new finishes for a more premium look. The highlight is the SmartPlay infotainment system, now offered with a larger 9-inch touchscreen in higher trims. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay have been introduced, along with steering-mounted controls to improve convenience.
Safety Upgrades in Line with Norms
Safety is another area where the S-Presso 2025 sees crucial improvements. Dual airbags are now standard across all variants, while higher trims add side airbags for added protection. Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Assist, and rear parking sensors are offered, making it compliant with updated safety norms and appealing to first-time car buyers who value peace of mind.
Improved Powertrain Efficiency
Maruti continues to offer the S-Presso with its tried-and-tested 1.0-litre K10C petrol engine under the hood. What’s new is the fine-tuning of its engine software and gearbox calibration, which helps improve fuel efficiency slightly over the outgoing model. Customers have the choice of a 5-speed manual or AMT (Automated Manual Transmission), ensuring the car caters to both budget-conscious drivers and those seeking ease of driving in cities.
Affordability Remains its Strongest Suit
One of Maruti’s biggest strengths with the S-Presso is its affordability, and the 2025 model remains accessible to budget buyers. Positioned smartly under the ₹6–7 lakh bracket (ex-showroom), it provides SUV styling cues, modern safety, and tech features at a price point that appeals strongly to first-time car owners and small families alike.
Final Word
With the 2025 update, Maruti Suzuki has ensured that the S-Presso remains more than just a quirky hatchback. It is now better equipped, safer, and more efficient, while continuing to retain its core value-for-money proposition. As competition heats up in the entry-level SUV-inspired hatchback category, the revamped S-Presso stands ready to defend its place in India’s car market.
