Lightweight Champs: Alternatives to the 2023 Suzuki S-Presso AGS

Lightweight Champs: Alternatives to the 2023 Suzuki S-Presso AGS

Suzuki Philippines has shown that it cares about the requirements and opinions of its customers by releasing the eagerly-anticipated Automatic Gear Shift (AGS) variant of the New S-Presso.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How does Suzuki's Auto Gear Shift work?

    The same five-speed manual gearbox is utilized by AGS, but a shift control actuator is computer-controlled. This enables automatic clutch engagement and gear changes.
  • What are the variants and prices of the 2023 Suzuki S-Presso?

    The AGS variation costs P660,000, while the Manual Transmission costs P620,000.
  • “The S-Presso AGS will address the demand of our customers who have been waiting for the automatic version for quite some time now. We fully understand why the S-Presso has become a status symbol and a bold statement of one’s lifestyle, especially the young generation who wants to make a mark and fulfill their commitments in life,” said Norihide Takei, Director and General Manager for Suzuki Automobile.

    The S-Presso AGS now offers drivers a more convenient, effective performance, and cost-effective drive that supports its distinctive design and style.

    A manual transmission can execute automated gear changes or shifting without the driver needing to depress the clutch pedal — thanks to a current Suzuki invention known as the AGS.

    The new one-liter K10C engine's Engine Auto Stop Start System (EASS), which automatically shuts down the engine when the car is idle to prevent unnecessary fuel use, enables this beauty to deliver a joyful ride while saving money. Suzuki estimated the S-Presso's fuel consumption to be 25kpl.

    2023 Suzuki S-Presso Equipment

    The Suzuki S-Presso's most distinctive feature is its center console, which has a unique design and is enhanced by a modern digital speedometer. The manual controls for the air conditioning system, a 12V outlet, and a USB connector are all located beneath the infotainment display.

    Inside the hatchback, new features include a multi-information display with a trip computer and a new generation touchscreen music system with built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For better voice reception during a hands-free talk, it also has an overhead microphone that is placed closer to the passenger. Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are now possible with Bluetooth hands-free control.

    2023 Suzuki S-Presso Safety

    The revised S-Presso has various passive and active safety features. With the addition of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the automobile can now be driven while it is turning.

    Another feature to pay attention to is the Hill-Hold Control, which stops the vehicle from rolling backwards on steep inclines. Additionally, to aid the driver in maintaining control and comfort while driving, this cutting-edge technology automatically regulates the engine's power and selectively applies the brakes.

    2023 Suzuki S-Presso Prices

    The competitively priced 2023 Suzuki S-Presso AGS is available in four colors: Sizzle Orange, Metallic Granite Gray, Fire Red, and White. The AGS variation costs P660,000, while the Manual Transmission costs P620,000.
