The most logical competitor for the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso in the Indian market is the Renault Kwid. While the S-Presso measures bigger than the Alto K10, its actually not bigger than the Kwid. The S-Presso measures a significant 114 mm shorter in length than the Kwid which means it also has a wheelbase that is shorter than the Kwid by 42 mm. The Renault Kwid is also 59 mm wider than the S-Presso.

Where the latter has a little edge over the Kwid is with its height as it measures a considerable 86 mm taller than the Kwid and that should free a lot of headspace in the cabin of the car. As for the ground clearance, both cars stand identical at 180 mm and their fuel tanks also measure almost the same, the Kwid having the capacity to hold a liter more, at 28 Liters. As for wheel sizes, the S-Presso again has the edge here. It wears 14-inch wheels wrapped in 165/70-section tyres while the Kwid gets smaller 13-inch wheels with 155/80-section tyres.
