New Suzuki S-Presso is the cheapest car in South Africa – got R134 900?
South Africa has a new “most affordable car on the market”.
Coming in below the Celerio is the somewhat peculiar-looking S-Presso.
It’s going for R134 900, which includes a five-year or 200 000-kilometre warranty and a free two-year or 30 000-kilometre service plan as well as a year’s free insurance.
The chunky car’s three-cylinder, one-litre petrol engine consumes a measly 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres.
The S-Presso comes with two airbags, ABS and EBD.
