With its dramatic mix of blue and dark grey basic plastics, as well as glossy light grey and piano black accents, the dashboard design is aesthetically attractive. The Swift's sportier flat-bottom steering has been installed, which looks much better in the new cockpit, and the dials, while analogue, are sharp and easy to read. Of course, the new 9.0-inch touchscreen (more on that later) takes centre stage, sitting upright in a monolithic binnacle and easily accessible. What impresses more than the style is the considerable improvement in quality, which has gone from hard-wearing and adequate to potentially class-leading. The leatherette on the steering wheel and, in particular, the elbow rests, has a softness that feels quite expensive, and all of the plastics have a rich texture. Even the new AC controls, which resemble toggles, are well damped and illuminated.
Cars under 5 Maruti Suzuki S-presso Maruti Suzuki's tall-hatch model has proven to be successful, and the S-Presso is their attempt to create a ‘miniSUV,' which is a classic instance of don't judge a book by its cover. The SPresso is the company's attempt to resurrect its fortunes and enter a category where the Renault Kwid has been a hit since its inception. As a whole, the 'mini-SUV' style, as Maruti calls it, feels a little too boxy. The front end is dominated by the grille and squaredoff headlamps, while the DRLs are neatly incorporated into the bumper, giving the car a modern appearance. When viewed from the side, it's evident that Maruti's designers tried to imitate a lofty SUV appearance with this hatchback.
