 Suzuki S-Presso 2023 has many security specifications such as seat belts and crash sensors, an anti-lock braking system, child safety locks, 2 airbags, and an engine check warning that is family-friendly. 

However, the model received a bad result on Global NCAP crash tests as it lacked seatbelt pretensioners, a front passenger airbag, and ISOFIX anchors, which are not available on the Indian-spec base trim.

Competitors Comparison 

Honda Brio 

The Honda Brio is slightly larger than the Suzuki S-Presso for the outlook, although they both have five seats. Both cars are similar in terms of safety with anti-lock braking, dual-front airbags, an engine immobilizer, and ISOFIX child seat tethers. 

The Brio's 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine outperforms the S-Presso for engine power. The Honda Brio's price ranges from Php 610,000 to Php 735,000, higher than the Suzuki.  

Toyota Wigo 

The Toyota Wigo is longer but shorter in height with similar exterior features, including halogen headlamps, LED tail lights, and 14-inch wheels. The Wigo G and TRD S have a security alarm for safety features, which the Suzuki model does not.  

A 1.0-liter inline-3 engine powers the Wigo making it just as potent as the one on the S-Presso. Toyota Wigo prices will start at Php 568,000 and Php 700,000.
