Suzuki has taken its popular S-Presso and made it even better with the addition of some cool features.
The S-Presso first arrived on South African shores shortly before lockdown and has since become a top-seller in the passenger vehicle market.
Under the bonnet is a new 1.0-litre Dualjet engine (the same one used in the Celerio) with figures of 49kW and 89Nm, with fuel consumption figures of 4.6-litres/100km for the manual version and 4.4-litres for the automatic version.
Suzuki has added alloy wheels to both the GL+ and S-Edition models. These models now have 14-inch alloy wheels fitted with 165/70 rubber. The GL model has steel wheels with full wheel covers and all models have a full-sized spare wheel.
The S-Edition also has a new exterior upgrade kit, which includes the silver-coloured bumper inserts and new silver detailing on the front bumper. The range comes standard with Bluetooth, steering mounted controls, central locking, front electric windows, air conditioning and power steering.

The GL+ trim will features a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and digital vehicle alerts as standard. This system allows for touch input, and it has Bluetooth and steering wheel controls for hands-free cell phone use.
The S-Edition comes with a larger, 9-inch infotainment system (also with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality) and doubles as a reverse camera too.
Every S-Presso is now also fitted with ISOFIX top and lower child restraint anchors as standard and every model, from the most affordable to the best-equipped, has two airbags as standard. As an additional safety feature, the AMT models now have Hill Hold Control, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Stop-Start as standard.
It is worth noting that all S-Presso models are also fitted with an immobiliser, childproof rear door locks and ABS brakes. Ditto the rear ultrasonic park sensors, which are fitted to all S-Presso models, regardless of the grade.
