Maruti Suzuki S-Cross

The first-generation Maruti Suzuki S-Cross was introduced in India in 2015, and while it has been the company's flagship model since then, it has typically remained at the bottom of sales charts, with consumers preferring more rugged-looking midsize SUVs available for the same price.

Engines and specifications

Maruti has fitted it with the 1.5-litre petrol engine (105PS and 138 Nm) found in the facelifted Vitara Brezza with mild-hybrid technology, which is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. It also has mild-hybrid technology in both manual and automatic S-Cross models.

A five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission are available for this engine. The SHVS mild-hybrid system is also available. Sigma, Delta, Zeta, and Alpha are the four trims offered for the vehicle.

Features

When it comes to outward elements, the India-bound S-Cross resembles its sedan cousin at the front, but the remainder of the car is entirely different. The crossover has a twin-slat chrome grille with a Suzuki logo, huge headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, a silver skid plate, and a massive airdam. The car has black plastic cladding on the base with silver garnish on the skid, as well as roof rails on the sides. Sharper taillights and black silver cladding are added to the SUV's back end. 

Rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, LED projector headlights, and 16-inch alloy wheels are among the features. The installation of Maruti's newest 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is the sole difference.

Safety

Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors are all standard safety equipment.

Rivals

The Hyundai Creta, Mahindra Scorpio, Renault Duster, Nissan Kicks, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun are all competitors to the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross.
