Suzuki S-Presso vs Toyota Wigo still has been burning momentum in the battle for the king of street cars. So, out of the two cars that are loved by car fans, which one will be strong, eye-catching enough, and have technical features for both interior and exterior? Let's explore the answers in this article.
Suzuki S-Presso was launched in March 2020, marking a new city car's milestone in the Philippines' car market. The birth of Suzuki S-Presso is also a threat to Toyota Wigo, which is already extremely famous as the king of the streets in the Philippines.
Now, let's study a few factors that come from these two cars to decide who will be the final winner.
Suzuki S - Presso:
This car's new design measures 3,565mm in length and 1,520mm in width, with a height of 1,565mm.

Toyota Wigo:
Based on these parameters, we can conclude that although the Toyota Wigo is longer and wider, it lags behind Suzuki S-Presso in terms of height.

In particular, Suzuki is designed with an impressive minimum ground clearance of up to 180mm, while this light of Toyota is only modestly stopped at 160mm.
Not only that, S-Presso is more surprising than Toyota thanks to its sturdy, solid, sustainable appearance, bringing the warrior spirit of the SUV line. However, S-Presso is basically a hatchback like Toyota Wigo.
In addition, both Toyota and Suzuki have a common point of being designed with halogen lights, tail lights integrated LED lights. However, the first part of Wigo is made as a rear spoiler structure, attaching with translucent windows and fog lights.
Instead of impressive appearance, this is the hallmark that makes Toyota somewhat more prominent than Suzuki.

The interior of the S-Presso has nothing further outstanding. This is the consequence of the lack of interior sharpness that Suzuki has lost points ahead of Toyota.

In general, the interior design inside these two “city cars” is only built the basic level, but it can create a sense of comfort for the driver. The S-Presso and Wigo have in common the control panel with a speedometer, tachometer, bottles, and cup holders.
Nonetheless, the S-Presso loses to the Wigo because it does not have a 12V outlet.
Also, the seats of Wigo and S-Presso can be folded easily to increase the carrying capacity according to the user's wishes. However, you should not abuse the car with too many things, because the allowed capacity of the S-Presso is only 239 liters, and the Wigo is 422 liters.
Once again, we definitely realize the Wigo has an advantage over the S-Presso in terms of cargo capacity.
Generally, the Wigo and S-Presso both have very similar engines, with a capacity of 998cc, both have 3-valve petrol engines equipped with up to 12 valves. The power of both the Toyota Wigo and the Suzuki S-Presso is no different.
But, we can also bring Toyota and Suzuki to the comparison based on the following factors:
The car has a maximum capacity of 66 horsepower at 6,000 rpm with 89Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm.
The Wigo has a maximum capacity of 66 horsepower at 6,000 rpm with 89Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm
The S-Presso catches a maximum output of 67 hp at 5,500 rpm, with 90Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm.
Nevertheless, Toyota loses some slight points to Suzuki in terms of maximum torque and HP, due to the Toyota Wigo is a few minutes later than the Suzuki - S - Presso.
For the front suspension of Suzuki and Toyota, we can see that both brands use MacPherson struts. The only difference here is the S-Presso uses a torsion beam, while the Toyota Wigo suspension is a semi-independent helix, with a more complex structure.
The S-Presso catches a maximum output of 67 hp at 5,500 rpm, with 90Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm
Besides, since the S-Presso has only one variant, it only has a 5-speed manual transmission, while the Wigo can attach a 4-speed automatic with a variant of a 5-speed manual transmission.
So, if you have to put these 2 cars on the comparison scale, according to the features that I just listed above, Wigo certainly dominates over S - Presso.

In terms of safety, both Suzuki S-Presso and Toyota Wigo are trustful. Toyota as well as Suzuki are equipped with dual front airbags, child-resistant rear locking, and engine immobilizer with anti-lock brakes.
However, the stunning aspect that makes the S-Presso a bit more advantageous than the Wigo is that the S-Presso is equipped with a rear parking sensor, while the Wigo does not have this part.

Looking at this price list, the first thing you see is that the Toyota Wigo has more options and prices than the Suzuki S-Presso.
Still, Suzuki is the cheapest, suitable for those with a limited budget when comparing the prices. At the same time, this is also a super product for the Philippines market to catch car lovers' attention since the suitability for Philippines traffic and environment.
We recommend keeping in mind when buying a car is that the Philippines has quite complicated, bad, and terrible traffic. Therefore, a car with an automatic tranny should be the priority.

Combining all the traits listed in the above sections, I hope you can surely know Toyota Wigo seems to be the most popular and chosen car, thanks to its outstanding and selling features.
Not only that, but Toyota is also known as a car manufacturer providing good customer care service, a wide network of dealerships, and spare parts and engines that are easy to maintain.
