Amid the suburban roads of Potchefstroom, the new Suzuki S-Presso doesn't just offer an exhilarating driving experience—it promises a statement. An embodiment of "Do You," the S-Presso's upgraded features resonate well with today's younger generation seeking modernity, performance, and affordability in one sleek package.
Under the Hood: Engine Dynamics
At the core of this charming hatchback lies the new Dualjet K10C Engine, a trusty powerhouse guaranteeing confident rides. This combined with the Engine Auto Stop Start feature ensures smoother drives. The noteworthy figures—a commendable fuel efficiency of 4.4l/100km for the AMT and 4.6l/100km for the MT—reaffirms the vehicle's claim for improved performance.
All models sport a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine, consistently producing 49 kW at 5,500 r/min and a torque of 89 Nm at 3,500 r/min. Given its lightweight nature, this engine proves quite efficient, especially when traversing the Potchefstroom terrains.
Innovative Tech and Infotainment
Modern drivers demand connectivity, and the S-Presso delivers with its New Generation Touchscreen Infotainment System. Compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™, the S-Edition takes it a notch higher with a 9-inch Infotainment System, promising seamless integration of one's smartphone on the go.
Safety First, Always
No vehicle's assessment is complete without delving into its safety features. The inclusion of the new ISOFIX child seat anchorages and the Electronic Stability Program across all models strengthens the S-Presso's commitment to keeping its passengers safe. With South Africa's diverse roads, from the sprawling highways to the uneven countryside terrains, these features promise a sense of security.
On the Road with the S-Presso
Unveiling a design reminiscent of its predecessor but with subtle, refined touches. Enhanced bumper garnishings and the inclusion of alloy wheels offer a fresher outlook. Internally, while the Dualjet 1.0 K10C engine powers its performance, the infotainment upgrades offer occupants a plush experience.
When tested on roads meandering around Potchefstroom, the S-Presso proved its mettle. Its efficient engine combined with a ground clearance of 181mm ensures it handles both suburban traffic in Potchefstroom and the winding roads to and from Parys with ease.
Affordability Meets Quality
With a price tag below R200,000, there might be minor compromises, but the overall driving experience far outweighs them. While light steering and the need for occasional manual recalibration might seem daunting, one cannot overlook the value proposition this vehicle offers, especially given its title as South Africa's most affordable car.
A Look Back
Introduced amidst the hard-lockdown phase of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the S-Presso didn't receive the debut fanfare it deserved. However, with positive sales trends it's evident that the market recognized its potential. And with this updated version, Suzuki has only fine-tuned its offering, providing customers an even better package at a competitive price point.
Verdict
For the discerning Potchefstroom motor enthusiast seeking an affordable yet feature-packed vehicle, the upgraded Suzuki S-Presso presents itself as a compelling contender.
