Overview

With the cross hatchback segment exploding, Maruti will join the fray with its new Suzuki S-Cross cross hatchback. Although we originally expected the S-Cross to go up against the new range of cross hatchbacks from Toyota, Fiat and Volkswagen, its main rivals will actually be the likes of the Renault Duster, Hyundai Creta and the Ford Ecosport. Expect Maruti to price this similar to the likes of the Ciaz or even slightly higher at about Rs 8-10 lakh. 

At the front the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross gets a bold two-slat chrome grille that flaunts the company’s logo. On either side, are those massive projector type headlights with Daytime Running Lights. The S-Cross will sport 16-inch alloy wheels, disc brakes on all four corners and scuff plats up front. To make the S-Cross look aggressive in profile, Maruti Suzuki has fitted it with black cladding on the door and wheel arch. At the back the taillights get chrome accents. Other features include, button start, reverse parking sensors and steering mounted controls.

 In terms of specification, the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross gets two diesel engines. The 1.3-litre engine will make 90PS of peak power and 200Nm of peak torque. This variant will be badged DDiS 200. The larger 1.6-litre engine will get 120PS of peak power and 320Nm of peak torque from its turbocharged diesel engine. This variant will be badged DDiS 320. Maruti has also chaged the way they name their variants with the new S-Cross. Gone are the LXI, VXI and ZXI badges to be replaced with Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha in ascending order. The DDiS version wil be available in five varaints, Sigma, Sigma (O), Delta, Zeta and Alpha while the more premium DDiS 320 will get only three variants, i.e. Delta, Zeta and Alpha. The DDiS 320 will weigh 1250kg and will feature a six speed gearbox. The DDiS 200 will weigh 1180kg and will be mated with a five speed manual gearbox. The S-Cross will also feature ground clearance of 180mm and a 48 litre fuel tank. 

Expect the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross to be priced premiumly at about Rs 8-10 lakhs and go up against the likes of the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster. The S-Cross will also 

go up against traditional cross hatchbacks like the Hyundai Active i20 and the Fiat Avventura. Although we do not expect very high sales from the S-Cross, it will be interesting to see how the country responds to a hatchback that is priced at that level.
