The S-Presso is marketed as having an SUV like high seating position, which Maruti says gives better visibility and a commanding view of the road. But some say this design sacrifices stability and handling for the narrow track width and tall body of the car. But there are also worries about the effect on the car's center of gravity and rollover risk. But on the other side, proponents say the higher seating makes ingress/egress easier, especially for the elderly. The feature is also debated to be a marketing ploy to set the S Presso apart from the rest of the small car segment in a crowded market, or if it actually enhances the driving experience in the traffic of Indian cities.
