Suzuki S-Presso

Wow, just WOW!
That's a comprehensive review that has covered everything that one wants to know about a vehicle. Not just the facts but there is opinion and relevant comment.
How refreshing it is to read a review that does not employ that hackneyed, meaningless and worthless phrase:
"perceived quality".
This review has made me visit the website and all the reviews are just as comprehensive and thorough.

The Team-BHP website is my go-to source for all India-related motoring industry & car manufacturer / model related info, as their comprehensive new car reviews are leaps & bounds above the advertiser brand loyalty driven motoring print media publication 'test reports' we have here in SA.

Glad you've joined the ranks of motoring enthusiasts who reference Team-BHP for their unbiased & detailed reviews.
 
Attention:

I hereby withdraw all recommendations made in the past regarding Suzuki vehicles, as my Suzuki Ertiga is rusting all over (externally and internally), after only 2 years.

i had previously reported on this site that rust was noticed within the first few months, which the dealership had repaired, however, the repair did not last long. and, other parts of the vehicle started showing rust.

according to the dealer, Suzuki SA (warrantee division) doesn't want to have the vehicle repaired.
 
New Suzuki S-Presso in South Africa: starting price undercuts Kwid!

Suzuki Auto South Africa has (perhaps unwittingly) revealed the starting price for its new S-Presso range, a fresh-faced budget car set to do battle with Renault’s updated Kwid.

CARmag.co.za stumbled across a half-built S-Presso page on Suzuki Auto SA’s website, which includes an image (embedded below) bearing the words “starting from R134 900”. For the record, that’s some R10 000 less expensive than the entry-level Kwid (and the Suzuki Celerio) and a full R27 400 cheaper than the base Datsun Go.

We already know power will come from Suzuki’s familiar naturally aspirated 1,0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 50 kW and 90 N.m to the front axle via a five-speed manual gearbox. In addition, the page suggests ABS, EBD and dual airbags will be standard across the range.

Not bad tbh. It should be reliable since the engine is used in the Celerio and that car doesn't seem to have any reliability issues.

I just hope that this car is safer than the Kwid and Go in a accident. If it's safer, than it deserves to outsell the Kwid
 
10 cheapest passenger cars on South Africa’s new-vehicle market

A fresh-faced vehicle has arrived in the country to assume the role of South Africa’s cheapest new car. We take a look at the ten least expensive passenger vehicles on the nation’s new-vehicle market (at mid-March 2020), each of which features dual airbags and ABS. Interestingly, nine are built in India.

1. Suzuki S-Presso 1,0: R134 900

Suzuki’s fresh-faced S-Presso has barged its way onto South Africa’s new vehicle market, with the entry-level derivative grabbing the title of the country’s cheapest car. Power comes from the brand’s naturally aspirated 1,0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, which (as in the Celerio above) delivers 50 kW and 90 N.m to the front axle via a five-speed manual gearbox.

 
Suzuki to stage digital launch for new S-Presso budget hatch

The coronavirus hasn’t just scuppered motor shows and racing events, but ordinary car launches have also found themselves on the postponement list in the wake of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Covid-19 measures that were announced on Sunday night.

Among these is the Suzuki S-Presso, which is set to become the nation’s cheapest car. While the physical launch event has been cancelled, Suzuki is set to stage a virtual launch on its Facebook page at 18:30 on Wednesday night, 18 March, which you can watch below.
