    Only question is if we'll get the same model, and if Suzuki PH will release the AGS variant

    New Suzuki S-Presso gets improved 1.0-liter engine setup, 25.3km/L claimed efficiency | TopGear PH

    No changes to the 1.0-liter K-Series gasoline engine’s output, as it stays at a modest 67hp and 90Nm. Instead, the brand has thrown in stop-start idling technology to improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Suzuki claims that the most frugal S-Presso variant with an Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission can do up to 25.3km/L with the new feature.

    Is Suzuki PH finally launching S-Presso automatic? | Autoindustriya

    We have spotted that Suzuki Philippines (SPH) received an approval for a passenger car that has a maximum weight of 1170 kg and an engine capacity of 998cc. Upon a quick check with the specifications of Suzuki models, we found out those figures very closely match that of the S-Presso.

    Suzuki now offering 2023 S-Presso automatic for PHP 660k | Autoindustriya

    Aside from the new transmission, the S-Presso AGS also has an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), plus the Engine Auto Stop Start (EASS) system and Hill Hold Control (HHC) that we first saw in the bigger Celerio AGS hatchback that was launched last year. Inside, it also gets a new generation display audio that is equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

    Papatok kaya to? Ano difference nito sa isang suzuki model na may AGS?
    Pwd ba ma disable yang Auto Start/Stop?
    Ano advantage nito compare to Wigo?

    Driving up sa Pantabangan Dam Nueva Ecija about a month ago, nasa harap ko yung current model, medyo tingin ko hirap and naka takot tingnan sa uphill winding road, ang liit ng body, driver and passenger lang nakasakay.

    i wonder,
    what is its tipping angle, relative to the other similarly-stilted vehicles?

    minsan may sakit tayong ayaw i-rev ng husto yung engine... parang ayaw paabutin ng 3K RPM yung car.

    On paper, max output is at 6K RPM. kailangan din natin bigyan ng konting gas yung sasakyan para umahon ng maayos

    Nasanay magtipid ng gas

    Yung opposite naman diyan ay yung lagi "mabigat" paa sa gasolinador...

    yup. pero sa highway and uphill, medyo delikado kung mabitin sa power yung sasakyan natin.

    kapag 1.5L and below engine ng car mo, medyo mababa margin for error lalo na kapag CVT yung car.

    most CVTs these days have a torque converter, wala na yung clutched cvt like jazz GD, so uphills even from a standstill shouldn't be a problem coz slushbox can torque multiply and slip to get the engine to the right powerband

    but spresso is AGS which literally has an m/t gearbox (but w/ a robot operating the clutch) so to get to over 3000rpm you'll need to burn some clutch and i dunno how well the computer can do this

    It could be manual, medyo di ako familiar sa model na to as I only observed it in a winding uphill hehe.

    Those who have tried driving sa Pantabangan Dam going up, and my first time also, it has a good scenery and good to test drive your car too.

    Happened to visit a dealer yesterday. All I can say is:

    --- > This car is CRAZY EXPENSIVE for what you're buying.


    Unit price is P620,000 (M/T)
    Cash discount is P32,000 so price is P588,000.

    ARE THEY NUTS!?!?!?
    A base ("taxi unit") Vios is around P680,000...
    Sino kaya bibili niyan???


    Balak ko kasi kumuha ng cheap utility/service vehicle for my business sana so I considered this, but the price is just plain dumb.

    define "cheap".

    do your needs point to any particular car model?
    or puede na kahit ano, basta may apat na gulong?
    personally, it does seem to have a higher ground clearance, if that is a must for the buyer.

    if you are not averse,
    get pre-owned, po.

    ^^^

    I think claro naman what is meant by "cheap" in the context used.

    As stated, intended as a utility/service vehicle for the business I'm running.
    Otherwise knows as "fleet use", but in this case, isa lang.
    Sometimes its not efficient for my employees to be hitching rides sa routes ng delivery vehicles namin, and there are situations when hindi naman tama to have them go around on motorcycles.

    Even if not for personal use, pre owned can be a pain, so I'm looking at options. Given this vehicle's price, it's out. An Alto used to cost less than P400,000 not too long ago.

    In any case, I just expressed my opinion that it seems silly for anyone to buy this, when they can get a "real" car (if one gets what I mean) kahit base model na Vios lang, eh halos similar lang din ang features; with the price not really too far off.

    to each his own, po.
    in my opinion, the spresso is a real car.

    the base wigo is 578K.
    the vios seems like a good buy.
    all them vios taxis can't be wrong.

    Suzuki's AGS was made and designed for the Indian Market... it will be fine here

    Okay Jeep styling ng Spresso, tipid sa gas, okay sa lubak at baha, bagay sa masikip na daan at parking. Sakto pang messenger car.

    Okay ang base Vios kung kailangan talaga ni messenger ang extra space. Plus din ang saan saan may piyesa sa tabi tabi.

    Kung ako si messenger, prefer ko ang Wigo G AT.
    Spresso AGS din sana, kaso may issues daw sa Dzire AGS? Mirage HB CVT din pala *660k+
