In an attempt to capitalize on the growing buying sentiment among customers now, Maruti Suzuki is offering the S-Presso with discounts of almost half a lakh.
The Indian automotive industry has again started to pick up its pace after the coronavirus lockdown. Industry experts predict that there will be an increased buying sentiment now as more and more people would prefer personal vehicles over public transport. This trend will be most evident in the budget entry-level car segment and that is why Maruti Suzuki has stepped in to capitalize the most out of this situation. Maruti Suzuki is offering the discounts of almost half a lakh on the purchase of a new S-Presso.
Well, the exact amount of discount that can be availed is Rs 48,000 and here’s how it breaks up. First up, Maruti Suzuki dealerships are offering a straight cash discount of Rs 20,000 on a brand new S-Presso. Further, there is also an exchange bonus of up to Rs 20,000 and you get an additional Rs 8,000 worth of additional benefits such as accessories, corporate discounts and so on. Prices for the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso in India starts from Rs 3.69 lakh and goes up to Rs 4.91 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.
Maruti Suzuki launched the S-Presso back in September 2019 and right from the onset, the S-Presso has had a very sucessful run in the country. Maruti Suzuki has been consistently selling at least 10,000 units of the S-Presso each month since its launch and that’s a very good number considering that the market has not been so favorable over the last couple of years. Earlier this year, Maruti Suzuki even started exporting the S-Presso from India to other markets in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
