Tyres and wheels for Maruti S-Presso, wheel size on Марути С-Прессо

Tires on Maruti S-Presso (Марути)

The Maruti S-Presso has been in mass production at a joint venture with Japanese "Suzuki" since 2019. The model is a compact city hatchback with characteristics typical of crossovers. It is positioned as a personal vehicle for former motorcycle owners and budget "small cars". Despite its compact size, the car stands out from its "classmates" with an increased ground clearance and a spacious interior. Another feature is the simplicity of the design, which ensures low operating costs and reliability in harsh conditions.

Differences from "global" Suzuki models

The model has no direct analogs among the "global" products of the Japanese brand, despite the use of the modular Heartec platform and other components used in the Alto and Wagon R, cars with a similar concept. This was largely due to the need to adapt the car to the specific road conditions in India. The changes affected, first of all, the body design with a high roof, clearance, and suspension settings. The ground clearance is 180 mm, which is a rarity for models of this segment. This feature is complemented by a chassis with shock absorbers and springs with an increased stroke, along with plastic cladding on the bottom of the body and protective elements on the bottom.

Another characteristic feature is the extremely low weight. Depending on the version, the car weighs no more than 770 kg, which allows the engine, even with a small power, to move with the flow, demonstrating low fuel consumption.

Layout and interior features

The interior is made as unusual as possible for the budget segment. The central part of the front panel is designed in the form of a round module, reminiscent of Mini and Jeep solutions. It is around this element that the entire architecture of the cabin is built. In the top versions, a 7-inch touchscreen multimedia display SmartPlay Studio is used, supporting modern data transfer protocols. For the ultra-budget segment of the Indian market, such equipment has become a significant advantage.

The passenger seating is close to vertical, which, in combination with the high roof, provides them with a sufficient reserve of space in the head and leg area, and also makes the cabin of the car, which is just over 3.5 meters long, seem spacious, as well as the trunk, with a volume of 240 liters. These solutions significantly simplify the loading of bulky items into the hatchback, which has become one of the factors determining its popularity not only among families but also among delivery services.

Technical differences

The most popular versions of the car were equipped with a 1-liter gasoline "trio" of the K10 series, with a power of 68 hp and a torque of 90 Nm, which is complemented by a "start-stop" system. It is combined with a 5-speed "mechanics" or its robotized version Auto Gear Shift. It is the latter that has quickly become the most in demand in the conditions of dense Indian traffic. As an alternative, the same engine is offered, but running on compressed natural gas, developing 56 hp and a torque of 82 Nm. This version is especially popular among commercial buyers, although the gasoline version is distinguished by exceptional fuel efficiency - no more than 5.5 liters per 100 km.

Modernized version

In 2022, the second-generation model debuted. Its appearance was largely due to the tightening of environmental standards in India. It is for this reason that the key innovations were the appearance of a modernized engine and control unit, which made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases. Part of the changes also affected the equipment. Versions with electronic stability control and hill start assist systems became available for order. Externally, the updated car differed little from its predecessor.

Road behavior and operational features

Initially, the concept of the model did not imply the use of dynamic handling and high-speed maneuvering. This was available to a limited extent due to the narrow body and suspension settings. The hatchback revealed its strongest sides in the conditions of intensive city traffic and on narrow streets, regardless of the quality of the road surface. The low weight allowed it to accelerate often faster than its neighbors in the flow, even with a full load in the cabin. This was largely achieved due to the use of 13- and 14-inch wheels with a seat diameter, tires with a profile height of 80 and 70%, respectively, in the standard equipment. For such models, it is characteristic to combine low weight with the ability to painlessly dampen a significant part of the impact. In the "Mosavtoshina" online store, it is convenient to select both affordable everyday kits and more reliable options for intense commercial operation.
