Maruti S-Presso vs Kwid vs redi-GO vs GO vs Maruti WagonR vs Celerio: What Do The Prices Say?
Maruti may claim to have created a new segment with the S-Presso, but when it comes to pricing, it has many rivals to compete with
The Maruti S-Presso has finally been launched as a new entry-level, mini cross-hatch offering. It is based on the K version of Suzuki’s lightweight Heartect platform. The S-Presso is priced between Rs 3.69 lakh to Rs 4.91 lakh (ex-showroom India).
Maruti offers the S-Presso with a 1.0-litre BS6 petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual as well as an AMT option. The S-Presso is smaller in size than the Renault Kwid but bigger than the Datsun redi-GO. Its pricing also makes it compete with the likes of bigger hatchbacks like the Maruti WagonR, Datsun GO and Maruti Celerio.

Note: We’ve only listed the prices of ‘Optional’ variants of the Maruti models above as they are equipped with more safety features and would be the ones we’d recommend.
-
The Datsun redi-GO manages to undercut every other car here.
-
The S-Presso’s starting price is higher than that of both the Datsun models.
-
As expected, the Alto K10 is more affordable than the S-Presso since it is positioned under it.
-
Meanwhile, the WagonR has the highest starting price here followed by the Celerio.
-
The top-end S-Presso is marginally more expensive than the Kwid.
-
The Kwid facelift offer dual front airbags as an optional on the top-spec variants with the driver airbag as standard. However, the S-Presso offers the option from the base variant itself and that is the starting price listed above.
-
Maruti also offers a more rugged iteration of the Celerio called the Celerio X, which is priced between Rs 4.75 lakh and Rs 5.52 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
-
Barring the Datsun GO, all models listed here come with a petrol engine and an automatic option. But the GO will get a new CVT variant soon and the carmaker has begun accepting bookings for the same.
-
The S-Presso, Celerio, Alto K10 and GO only come with one engine option while the Kwid, redi-GO and WagonR get a choice of engines depending on the variant.
-
Maruti offerings other than the S-Presso also get a CNG variant, but their prices have not been included in this analysis.
