The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross has been on sale in India for almost seven years now, and has been the company’s flagship model in the country. The S-Cross was also the first product to be launched under the company’s premium retail network, Nexa Experience. However, with the arrival of the soon-to-be-launched new Grand Vitara compact SUV, Maruti Suzuki India is now expected to discontinue the crossover. Now, the S-Cross never managed to bring in huge numbers for Maruti, however, it was always a capable car, and if you are planning to get one, we would go for a pre-owned model. Would suggest going. And here are some things you need to know before getting one.

The old S-Cross came with 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre diesel engines, which delivered great performance.

Pros:

  1. Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Comes with a good fit and finish, and looks quite premium. Depending on the variant you get, this projector comes with features like headlamps, LED DRLs, bold chrome detailing, dual-tone alloys and LED taillamps.
  2. The S-Cross offers a ton of cabin space and a decent boot space of 375 liters. That means it can easily fit 5 average sized adults and enough luggage for the weekend.
  3. While the new S-Cross gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine, Maruti used to offer the crossover with two diesel engines earlier – a 1.3-litre unit and a more powerful 1.6-litre oil burner. Both offer great performance, and if you can manage to get your hands on a 1.6 diesel then you should definitely go for it.

The S-Cross offers great cabin space, but the interior looks outdated and unappealing.

Shortcoming

  1. Crossovers have never really been a great success in our country, they simply do not attract Indian car buyers. Same is the case with S-Cross. Also, with the increasing demand for SUVs, the S-Cross may not attract a lot of customers.
  2. While the cabin is certainly spacious, it does look quite old compared to other models in this price range. The interior layout also looks quite boring.
  3. The S-Cross was always a bit expensive, and the situation in the used car market is pretty much the same. Depending on the model year and condition, you can get the pre-owned S-Cross from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 11 lakhs.
