Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Variant Information Revealed

With the compact crossover segment picking up on the sales charts in India, manufacturers are gradually bringing in their iterations in the segment to get a piece of the pie. Hyundai recently brought in the i20 Active, and now Maruti Suzuki is set to bring in the S-Cross.

Scheduled to be launched later this month, the S-Cross will be introduced with two diesel engine options – a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder DDiS mill and the 1.3-litre 4-pot mill as well. The larger of the two engines will produce 120PS and 320Nm. This engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The Fiat sourced unit, like on the Ertiga will make 90PS and 200Nm and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Surprisingly, there is no information about bringing in a petrol variant as yet.

As far as the variants are concerned, the larger 1.6-litre unit will be launched in three variants while the S-Cross with the smaller powerplant will come with five trim options. The lower two Sigma and Sigma(O) will only be sold with a 1.3-litre unit. The top-end Alpha variant of the S-Cross will come equipped with all the bells and whistles including, HID projector lamps, rain sensing wiper and reverse parking camera. In sync with the current crop of cars in this segment, the S-Cross will come with an infotainment system that supports Bluetooth, AUX and USB connectivity and has a navigation system too. The Alpha variants will also come with leather upholstery, button start and cruise control. Automatic Climate control will be offered in just the top two Zeta and Alpha variants. With respect to safety, all variants will come with a driver side airbag, while the higher variants come with airbags for the front passenger as well. ABS and rear disc brakes will be available on all variants except for the base Sigma trim.

Maruti Suzuki will launch the S-Cross later this month and it will take on the likes of the Hyundai i20 Active and in part even the Renault Duster. We expect Maruti to price the S-Cross between Rs 7-12lakh. For more information on the feature of the S-Cross you can our: Maruti Suzuki S-Cross: First Drive Review
