Maruti Swaps S-Presso's Engine For A New Petrol Unit, Hatch Now Returns Up To 25.3kmpl

• The K10C 1-litre DualJet petrol engine makes around 67PS and 89Nm. 

• Paired with a 5-speed manual or AMT automatic gearbox as before. 

• Electrically adjustable mirrors now available in top-spec variants.   

• Prices of the updated CNG variants are expected to come soon.  

The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso has received a new update and it has subsequently brought the Celerio’s K10C 1-litre DualJet petrol engine to a more affordable price point. 

Maruti’s K10C engine is even more frugal than the previous 1-litre motor, with a claimed fuel economy figure of over 24kmpl in manual guise and 25.3kmpl when paired with the auto ‘box. In addition to the new engine, automatic variants of the new S-Presso get two new safety features, electronic stability program (ESP) and hill-hold assist. 

The new engine uses idle start stop tech and features such as variable valve timing to deliver better fuel economy. It makes 67PS and 89Nm (1PS and 1Nm less than before), with a similar 5-speed manual gearbox as standard and an AMT automatic option in Vxi (O) and Vxi+ (O) trim levels.

Maruti S-Presso Price

The new engine and other updates come with a significant hike in price: 

Top-spec variants, both manual and automatic, see the biggest bump in price of Rs 70,000. The entry-level Standard trim level is costlier by Rs 25,000 and all other variants are up by around Rs 50,000. 

What’s new in the 2022 Maruti S-Presso? 

Apart from the new engine, the top-spec Vxi+ and Vxi+ (O) S-Presso variants now get electrically adjustable outer rear-view mirrors (ORVMs). The automatic variants have two new features – electronic stability program (ESP) and hill-hold assist. 

ESP (also known as ESC) is an important safety feature which prevents the vehicle from going out of control in various conditions. In addition, it now also comes with a cabin air filter.

Fuel efficiency is a high priority for all car buyers, and the new S-Presso’s petrol engine takes that to new heights. It’ll likely be updated in the S-Presso CNG variant as well, and we expect its prices to be announced soon.
