But the S-Presso’s boxy, upright design has certainly been a talking point since its launch. The mini-SUV look Maruti was aiming for has been polarizing opinions. Others appreciate its quirky charm and the space maximization it brings in a sea of similar looking hatchbacks. But others brand it ungainly and disproportionate, especially when it is viewed from some angles. Aerodynamics and fuel efficiency have also been questioned about the design's impact. The discussion is ongoing of whether Maruti was able to lend an identity to the S-Presso that was distinct enough from other offerings, or if they overdid it, trying to make it stand out too much, losing more conservative buyers in the process.
