Thanks to its compact sizing, good ground clearance, and unique design, the S-Presso has always made for a great vehicle when navigating city streets and overcoming urban obstacles. The fuel-efficient engine is also a plus.
However, there has been one problem that has been going on for some time. The S-Presso has only been offered with a five-speed manual transmission. Suzuki has finally answered your prayers and will now provide the S-Presso with its own Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission, an automated manual transmission. This new AGS variant now gives buyers an option between a manual and an automatic, opening up a new market for this quirky vehicle as well as making the S-Presso the perfect city runabout.
The AGS transmission is a clutchless manual transmission that shifts the gears for you and is a different mechanism from your traditional automatic transmission. AGS is also found on other Suzuki models across the lineup.
The top-spec S-Presso AGS variant gets Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Engine Auto Start-Stop (EASS) that turns off the engine at a full stop to save on fuel, and Hill Hold Control (HHC), which makes for a safer start on inclined surfaces. All this makes the S-Presso safer and more fuel efficient. A bigger infotainment screen is also present, which gives users Android Auto and Apple Carplay connectivity. The exterior remains the same with no updates.
Powertrain remains unchanged with the same Dualjet 1.0-liter, three-cylinder making 66 hp and 90 Nm of torque. It may not sound like a lot, but it is more than enough to pull its lightweight body and give off very impressive fuel-economy numbers of up to 25 km/L
Suzuki Auto PH is now opening reservations for the S-Presso AGS at all of its dealerships nationwide, and we can also expect increased sales due to this new variant.
The Suzuki S-Presso now starts at P620,000 for the base manual transmission variant and P660,000 for the AGS variant.
