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 seats anchor points.

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 the 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 allow it a minimum turning radius of 4.5m. Front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension are standard.

• Front Suspension MacPherson strut Front Brakes Disc
• Rear Brakes Drum

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.
