Mangaluru: Bharath Auto Cars Private Ltd, an authorised Maruti Suzuki vehicle dealer and service center in Kuntikana, launched Maruti Suzuki’s new car ‘S-Presso’ on Thursday, October 3.
St Aloysius Evening College principal Dr Manohar Serrao and Bank of Baroda Zonal Manager Nagaraj Bhat jointly launched the new car.
Stating that he is a loyal customer of the company, Dr Serrao praised its customer relationship management.
Nagaraj Bhat informed that the Bank of Baroda is ready to extend financial support to those who want to purchase the newly launched S- Presso.
Speaking about the car, Maruti Suzuki Area Manager Deepak Sharma said that it is the common man’s car because it is economically priced. The price of an S-Presso ranges between Rs 3.69 lakhs and Rs 4.91 lakhs.
Speaking about the features of the car, Bharath Auto Cars senior relationship manager Mahendra said that the ‘S-Presso’ is based on Suzuki’s Heartect platform, which also underpins models like the Swift, Dzire and Wagon R. The platform not only brings structural rigidity benefits that will help it meet the new crash test norms, but it also helps make the car light. It weighs just 726-767kg, depending on the variant. As for the dimensions, it measures 3,565mm in length, 1,520mm in width and 1,564mm in height (the Std and LXi variants are 15mm shorter due to the 13-inch wheels) with a 2,380mm long wheelbase. The ground clearance is set at 180mm, which is on par with the Kwid, but it gets larger 165/70 R14 tyres in comparison on the higher-spec variants.
Sudhir M Pai, Managing Director of Bharath Auto Cars Private Ltd welcomed the gathering and Kishore proposed a vote of thanks. General Manager Vishwa Kumar, senior sales managers Dennis Gonsalves and Shivakeerthi were present.
