We fully understand why the S-PRESSO has become a status symbol and a bold statement of one’s lifestyle, especially the young generation who wants to make a mark and fulfill their commitments in life,” Norihide Takei, director and GM for Suzuki Automobile, says.

The AGS refers to the state-of-the-art system developed by Suzuki to enable a manual transmission to do automated gear changes or shifting without the driver needing to step on the clutch pedal and using the shift lever.

With the updated version, drivers can enjoy a more convenient, stronger performance and efficient drive from the S-PRESSO AGS backing up its signature look and style.
