The Suzuki S-Presso, known for its quirky city-friendly charm, has just received a bold new makeover that brings a tough, off-road-inspired twist to its personality. Courtesy of Indonesian customisation shop GH Style, the revamped S-Presso now sports a rugged body kit that borrows heavily from the iconic Suzuki Jimny.
A Jimny Makeover for the Urban Warrior
At the front, the S-Presso undergoes a dramatic transformation. GH Style has ditched the standard slim grille and angular headlights in favour of a Jimny-style face. Circular headlights paired with round daytime running lights now flank a wider, boxy black grille, giving the car a more upright and purposeful expression.
Beneath the grille, a redesigned bumper introduces a more robust look, complete with pronounced black cladding and eye-catching yellow fog lamps. These additions not only enhance the visual toughness but also suggest a bit of off-road character—even if it’s just for show.
Beefed-Up Sides and Rugged Details
Moving to the sides, the changes continue. GH Style has installed thick black fender flares over the wheel arches and chunky rocker panels along the lower edges, giving the S-Presso a bulkier stance. The urban runabout now rolls on old-school white steel wheels that further emphasise the rugged, utilitarian aesthetic.
Rear Enhancements and Overall Finish
While the rear doesn’t get as aggressive a redesign as the front, GH Style has made some notable tweaks to maintain a cohesive look. A larger roof spoiler is fitted above the hatch, and a redesigned rear bumper rounds out the upgrades, visually balancing the aggressive front-end treatment.

No Mechanical Changes – Still a City Car at Heart
Underneath the rugged new exterior, the S-Presso remains mechanically unchanged. It retains its 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, producing 49 kW and 89 N.m of torque. Depending on the market, it continues to be offered with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Despite the off-road-inspired makeover, this version of the S-Presso is still very much a city car and is unlikely to tackle any serious trails. But what it lacks in capability, it makes up for in style, turning heads with its unique, Jimny-like appearance.
A Bold New Look for the S-Presso
GH Style’s custom body kit doesn’t transform the S-Presso into a full-fledged off-roader, but it successfully injects a fresh, adventurous flair into Suzuki’s compact hatchback. It’s a perfect example of how a little imagination and a few strategic upgrades can completely reimagine a vehicle’s character.
This eye-catching makeover shows that even a budget-friendly car like the S-Presso can channel some of the rugged spirit of its big brother, the Jimny—at least on the surface.
