Though Maruti has not given any confirmation about the engine line up, we expect it to get the 1.0-litre, three-cylinder BS6 compliant petrol engine mated to a manual transmission as standard while an AMT can be on offer as well. Other features like dual airbags, antilock braking system (ABS) + electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and reverse parking sensors which help meeting it the upcoming safety regulations are likely to be standard as well. Moreover, Maruti may also consider introducing the 7-inch smartplay studio touchscreen infotainment system in the higher variants of the S-Presso in a bid to position it as an upmarket offering. Maruti Suzuki is all set launch the S-Presso on September 30 and it'll bw a direct rival to models like the Renault Kwid 1.0, Datsun Redi-Go 1.0 and Hyundai Santro. We expect prices for the S-Presso to start around Rs. 4.80 lakh and go up to Rs. 7 lakh.
