Using present tense ‘es’ changes the meaning to a permanent state rather than a future expectation.

‘Estar’ describes temporary conditions; with ‘suave’ you usually use ‘ser’ because the quality is inherent.
No, va a ser suavísimo.
‘Suavísimo’ is a superlative and sounds exaggerated in everyday speech.

Cultural Tip
In Spanish ‘suave’ is often used for food (mild flavor), music (soft tone), and personality (gentle nature). If you’re talking about texture, ‘blando’ is more common for ‘soft’, while ‘suave’ emphasizes a pleasant, easy‑going quality. Keep the tone friendly; a simple ‘No, va a ser suave’ works well in informal conversation.
