When Suzuki Philippines, Inc. (SPI) introduced the Suzuki S Presso in the country last 2020, it further solidified its branding as a compact car distributor that features small, fuel-efficient, and affordable models. The hatchback is the most affordable passenger car you can get from the Japanese automaker at Php 523,000.
Suzuki S-Presso
Considering that it is a relatively new vehicle in the local market, many are still unfamiliar with what it has to offer including all colors of the Suzuki S-Presso. Suzuki Philippines is offering its hatchback in four colors, namely the Sizzle Orange, Fire Red, Metallic Granite Gray, and Metallic Silky Silver.
If you are looking to buy a Suzuki S-Presso and are currently deciding on which body color option to choose, then you have come to the right place. We will discuss the four paint finishes offered for the new hatchback. Take note that the Suzuki S-Presso colors might vary from the actual model. As such, use the following as references only.
Original wrap
If you try to visualize what the Suzuki S-Presso looks like, there is one body color that will surely pop out of your head, and that is the Sizzle Orange. It is the most commonly used Suzuki S-Presso color not only by Suzuki Philippines in promoting the vehicle in the country, but also in other markets where the hatchback is made available.
The Sizzle Orange sure is a good choice for the Suzuki S-Presso for various reasons. Number one, orange is not a common paint color among today’s cars, sitting behind colors like blue, red, green, and brown. And reason number two, it helps accent the blacked-out front and rear bumpers due to its bright color as compared to other paint finishes.
Suzuki S-Presso Sizzle Orange
With those being said, the Suzuki S-Presso color in Sizzle Orange will make your vehicle stand out. You will surely look a bit quirky against most cars you will see on the road, but among S-Presso car owners, not so much. Sizzle Orange is the go-to for most owners so the feeling of exclusivity might be gone once you attend Suzuki S-Presso Philippine Club meets.
Nevertheless, the Sizzle Orange is not a bad choice to begin with. Fortunately, the Japanese automaker is offering all of the Suzuki S-Presso colors free of charge including the Fire Red, Metallic, Granite Gray, and Metallic Silky Silver which we will get into in a second.
Snazzy hatchback
Next up on the available options for the Suzuki S-Presso is red color, or also named Fire Red. Looking at all of the available paint options offered on the PH-spec S-Presso, one can say that the Fire Red has to be the go-to for those interested buyers who want their unit to look snazzy or sharp.
With its boxy and small design, it is quite difficult to achieve a sporty appeal out of the hatchback, if that is what you are aiming for. As such, the Suzuki S-Presso color in Fire Red is the closest you will get. Suzuki Philippines is offering the Suzuki Swift if you like a hatchback that comes with a sporty appeal.
Suzuki S-Presso Fire Red
Aside from the Sizzle Orange, the Fire Red body paint color is also another common option Suzuki S-Presso owners picked out of the dealership. And since red is a common color among most cars as well, then don’t expect to look different on the road. Regardless, the Fire Red should not disappoint in any way.
Take note that maintaining a Suzuki S-Presso red color can be difficult as compared to other body color options. Red paint can accent the dust, dirt, or mud that might be accumulated while driving on the road. That said, going for a snazzy look comes with the price of frequently washing your car whether at home or at a shop.
Simple S-Presso
There are two options that you can choose from the roster if you want to go for a simple exterior paint. The two color options we’re talking about are the Metallic Granite Gray and Metallic Silky Silver. What we can say is that simple is not always bad. In fact, the Suzuki S-Presso silver color (or Metallic Silky Silver) can provide practical features as well.
The Suzuki S-Presso color in Metallic Silky Silver can seamlessly hide things that could make your hatchback look dirty such as water spots and scratches. With that being said, you can refrain from frequently washing your car just to maintain its fresh-out-of-the-dealership look, hence little money in the long run.
Suzuki S-Presso Metallic Silky Silver
With the Metallic Silky Silver, it creates an appealing contrast with the standard exterior details of the Suzuki S-Presso as such its blacked-out front and rear bumpers, and its 14-inch steel wheels. Plus, it is easy to add new modifications as silver panels are easier to find as compared to other colors.
However, just like the Fire Red body color option, the Metallic Silky Silver is another common color among Suzuki S-Presso owners. If you think that looking different doesn’t really matter, then we recommend that you go for the Metallic Silky Silver. But if it does, then maybe you can consider picking the Suzuki S-Presso gray color brought by the Metallic Granite Gray option.
The Metallic Granite Gray body color option is somewhat similar to the Metallic Silky Silver, but comes with a darker hue. This paint finish is the most uncommon choice among Suzuki S-Presso owners. As such, the Metallic Granite Gray should be your go-to if you are trying to look different from the bunch.
Suzuki S-Presso Metallic Granite Gray
But unlike the Metallic Silky Silver, the Suzuki S-Presso color in Metallic Granite Gray option requires more time to clean. Darker car paints are considered as some of the hardest colors to maintain as these highlight the dirt or any debris you can accumulate on the road. It is the price to pay for achieving a premium look.
In addition, the Metallic Granite Gray slightly blends with the standard exterior details of the Suzuki S-Presso. This creates somewhat a monotone paint scheme. Now, a monotone finish can be something that some car buyers aim for, but if you are not part of the group, then your choices should be the other three color options on the roster.

Suzuki S-Presso Launch
The model was introduced to Indian customers in 2019, eventually making its way to the Philippines in 2020. It replaced the Alto K10 in Suzuki’s Indian lineup as well as the Alto 800 in the carmaker’s Philippine offerings. In the Philippine release, the vehicle is available in two variants, with the option of 14-inch alloy wheels for the base model.
This is the second Suzuki Auto model named after a type of coffee, following the Suzuki Cappuccino two-seater convertible which was in production from 1991 to 1998.
Later in 2023, Suzuki Philippines updated the S-Presso. The brand likewise introduced the automatic gear-shift (AGS) model.
Suzuki S-Presso Exterior
Coming in at 3,565mm long, 1,529mm wide, and 1,565mm high, the Philippine-release Suzuki S-Presso sports a hatchback form factor, with small dimensions offset by various SUV styling cues such as prominent fenders, a high beltline, and a tall ground clearance of 180mm. The slim black grille with trapezoidal elements (chrome for top-spec SE) is surrounded by multi-reflector halogen headlamps, with cutout panels for aftermarket fog lamps below. A black resin bumper houses the front air dam and a lower lip styled as a skid plate.
At the rear, C-shaped rear combination lamps are also located high up on the body, pushed to the corners flanking the tailgate, resting above the black resin rear bumper. The S-Presso rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers for the non-SE variant, while the rest get 14-inch alloy wheels.
Suzuki S-Presso Interior
For the interior, the S-Presso sold in the Philippines comes in a predominantly black interior color palette. A single front-mounted cabin light provides illumination. There’s room for up to five occupants, with front seat featuring integrated headrests while the rear bench uses removable head restraints. The vinyl and fabric seats have a high hip point which provides occupants with an elevated seating position. There’s room for up to 239 liters of cargo, expandable by folding the rear seats.
Front power windows are standard equipment, with switches mounted on the dashboard. A digital instrument panel with amber backlighting is located at the center of the dashboard. There’s a front storage pocket between the front seats, as well as bottle holders on the center console and door pockets.
Suzuki S-Presso Colors
In the Philippines, there are 4 available Suzuki S-Presso colors. The 2024 Suzuki S-Presso can come in orange (Sizzle Orange), and there’s also a Suzuki S-Presso in silver (Metallic Silky Silver). Furthermore, one can also get the Suzuki S-Presso in a darker shade of gray (Metallic Granite Grey). And lastly, the Suzuki S-Presso can also be had in red (Fire Red).
Meanwhile, the top-of-the-line Suzuki S-Presso SE is available in Starry Blue Pearl, which creates a distinction from the non-SE variants.
Technology & Safety
The Philippine-spec S-Presso comes equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen head unit that has an AM/FM radio tuner, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as video, music, and photo playback. Manual air-conditioning controls with rotary switches are located below the display.
For safety, the Suzuki S-Presso Philippines offers anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, dual front airbags, four 3-point ELR seatbelts with one 2-point lap belt, and ISOFIX child seat anchor points. Childproof rear door locks and rear parking sensors are also included, as well as seatbelt reminders for the front occupants.
In crash tests conducted by Global NCAP, the S-Presso scored zero stars out of five for the base variant without seatbelt pre-tensioners, front passenger airbags, and ISOFIX anchors, features that are omitted on the Indian-spec base trim.
The 2024 AGS variant then gets hill-hold control.
Platform & Chassis
The Philippine-spec S-Presso is built around the fifth-generation HEARTECT K platform, which Suzuki Philippines claims uses advanced and ultra-high tensile steel. Better ride quality and handling are achieved through increased rigidity, while the chassis reduces the vehicle’s weight by up to 30 kg. The platform has been in use since 2014 on the Suzuki Alto and currently underpins a range of other Suzuki models such as the Swift, DZire, Ertiga, and XL7.
Suzuki designed the frame of the S-Presso to center around the Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) concept, resulting in a structure that can absorb and disperse crash energy in the event of a collision. Electric power steering combined with the vehicle’s small dimensions allows it a minimum turning radius of 4.5m. Front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension are standard.
Engine & Drivetrain
The Suzuki S-Presso sold in the Philippines runs on a 1.0-liter K10B 3-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 67 hp and up to 90 Nm of torque. This is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed auto-gear shift gearbox that routes power to the front wheels.
Available colors for the Suzuki S-Presso 2024 in the Philippines include Sizzle Orange, Fire Red, Metallic Granite Gray, Metallic Silky Silver, and Pearl Starry Blue (exclusive to the Special Edition).
The Suzuki S-Presso 2024's main advantage is in terms of price compared to its rivals, as it is currently the most affordable car that can be bought brand-new in the market. It matches the Toyota Wigo in terms of ground clearance but is generally smaller in most respects than other contenders in the segment. Owing to its price tag, the S-Presso had to do away with certain interior amenities such as power windows on the rear doors, although it still manages to come with a touchscreen head unit that has Bluetooth connectivity. However, it is only available in a 5-speed manual transmission.
