When Suzuki Philippines launched the S-Presso micro hatchback/crossover in 2020, it provided a bit of style in a segment known for no-frills, all-basic transportation. And with a P 518,000 launch price, it provided many the chance to buy a brand-new car; an opportune time given it was the middle of the COVID pandemic. Fast-forward about two years later, here’s the refreshed S-Presso. Packing new stuff, it also happens to be 30 percent more expensive.
Welcome improvements in the 2022 update include power side view mirrors and a modernized touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In all honesty, you’d think the smartphone mirroring was a spec error given the low-rent look of the 7-inch screen. But plug a compatible phone in, and it’s immediately recognized. Credit also goes to Suzuki for incorporating more functionalities into the head unit including a trip computer as well.
The biggest chance to the S-Presso this year is down to the drivetrain. For starters, it gets a new engine. The K10B engine’s been swapped out for the K10C for the 2022 update. Outputs are close to its predecessor—67 horsepower and 90 Nm, so it’s not that transformative. Still, it’s fairly zippy in urban traffic because there’s not much weight to pull around. Also, it’s surprisingly refined for a 3-cylinder, beating out the Toyota Wigo in terms of overall NVH.
