With this being said, check out all the Maruti S-Presso pros and cons if you too are planning to buy one of these.

Pros:

1. Spacious and Practical Cabin

The Maruti S-Presso offers a spacious cabin which has enough room for four grown-up adults to sit inside with utmost comfort. In addition to this, the high-set seats make the vehicle a lot more practical as ingress and egress from the car is extremely easy.

2. Reliable and Peppy Engine

Powering the S-Presso is the brand's K10B engine which can also be seen on other cars like the WagonR and the Celerio. This engine has a proven track record and offers commendable performance to the vehicle. In addition to this, the AMT variant is a great choice for those who will be using this vehicle for the city commute.

3. After-Sales Support

Maruti is known to be one of the best brands in the country right now when after-sales support is taken into consideration. The owners report a positive experience with the after-sales services. Maruti's dealership network is one of the best in the country and the parts too are not very expensive to replace. The part availability too is better than most of its rivals.

4. VFM Product

Considering the overall package, the Maruti S-Presso comes out to be a highly value for money product. The variants are well-priced and the feature distribution too is impressive.

5. Resale Value

S-Presso is one of the best selling cars in the segment and is also one of the best products in terms of resale value. If you are someone who periodically changes his/her vehicle, the S-Presso will definitely fetch you a better resale value when compared to its rivals.

Cons:

1. Safety

As per the data released by GNCAP, the Maruti S-Presso scored a cast test rating of zero stars. The build quality of the vehicle is not very great and the car will not be a safe vehicle in case of a crash, thus high injuries to the occupants inside the cabin.

2. Poor Driving Dynamics and Highspeed Stability

The Maruti S-Presso is a light-weight vehicle and does not have sorted driving dynamics. High-speed stability remains poor and there is too much body roll making it a better urban vehicle than a highway mile muncher.

3. Missing Features

Many essential features like rear power windows, day/night IRVM, and rear defogger are missing from the package. These features are a must-have in today's era and the brand should have offered these in the higher trims of the Maruti S-Presso.
