Maruti Suzuki S-Cross 2018 | 3000km Long-Term Review | CarDekho.com 

Yeah... The service at the NEXA is just too good. One can feel the difference after driving the car from service center. All queries about the car are being looked into.

No awd

+vino kumar In our test, the S-Cross returned 20.65kmpl on the highway in spite of a 5-speed gearbox. Most impressively, it managed 19.15kmpl in the city! It has solid build quality, it feels like a proper premium crossover. If we talk about the ride quality, the cabin of Maruti Suzuki S-Cross composed over rough roads. The S-Cross checks all the right boxes to be a great crossover. The S-Cross might not be your traditional square SUV, but it nails the basics of practicality, space and comfort. On the other hand, if we talk about a used car, the decision will depend on several factors like condition of car, brand, no. of owners etc so if you go for a used one, we would suggest you to get it thoroughly checked by a well know mechanic.

+Chinna Jithender Opt for Hyundai Verna as the new Verna has matured, and how! It’s evolved into a classy package that drives well, packs in all the tech you need (and more) and priced reasonably as well. If you’re going to be driving solo most of the time or don’t really care about the folks at the rear - the Verna is a near no-brainer.

Shubham Choudhary haha. People are hypocritical

Very true! If you look at the automobile history of India, it is some of the amazing products that have failed or haven't done that well. We Indians think about only 2 things while buying mileage and resale value.

Maruti is best

Yeah like SX4

@Revanth sir compared to other maruti cars,the build quality is very solid.

+Uma Shankar There is no denying that the new S-Cross is a very attractive crossover for the price; it now looks the part too with the angrier and muscular face, can accommodate five people comfortably, its ride quality is simply unmatched, it is feature loaded and has a mind-bogglingly efficient engine. It may have lost the grunt of the 1.6-litre unit, but this is not meant to be a performance machine anyway. Not only does the S-Cross hold its own among competitors like the Honda BR-V, Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster. Moreover, do take the test drive of the car in order to clear all your doubts.

+Prashant Borkar Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching. :)

pallav raj considering how the facelift is doing better, there is hope!

raj esh but u must have noticed it's ability to surge pass other cars easily, probably due to aerodynamic built, I guess. I v done 6000KMS

I agree sir. We need not plan overtakes as it happens smoothly. Only grievance is that a 6 speed transmission would have been nice especially on highways. But for a person like me who does 100-120 km/h, its more than sufficient. Mileage is another great factor even when revved at high speeds on highways. Maruti is unrivalled on that aspect. Plus engine refinement level. I did test drive on WR-V too. It was noisy unlike s-cross which is butter smooth.

How is the suspension and how was your drive quality on especially on bad tackling potholes. This because I need a car withgood suspension because I have backache.

Ravi Narayan suspension is good. I was also satisfied wid my prev car dezire's suspension. However Scross is far more smooth. But so far backache is concerned you need to research a bit more. Take care brother

How are NVH levels... And engine clatter? Are they will controlled... Does noise get worse with time?

+Christy Sugirtharatnam Thank you for admiring with your magical words. Stay tuned!

When??

ankit pandey : most probably in early 2019, not sure though.

Gulp! 12k is definitely on the higher side. Thanks for sharing the service costs.

+Ayush A. As of now, there is no news for its petrol version. Stay tuned.

+snegithan vikram The S-Cross will offer superior cabin space and ride quality. The turbo lag is noticeable but should be able to adapt to it with ease.

+Pravin Bhosale It is always recommended to get the CNG kit fitted from the authorized service center so that you can avail the warranty services as well. If you get it installed from some other sources, then it may hamper your warranty. On the other hand, please make sure that the CNG kit that you are installing is RTO approved to avoid future troublesome. We suggest you to get in touch with the authorized service center to know the nitty-gritty of the fittings as they will be the best people to suggest you the compatible CNG kit for your car. However, the downside is that you would loose out on the boot space & you have to sacrifice with the power to get more fuel economy.

+Prasath Balaji There is no denying that the new S-Cross is a very attractive crossover for the price; it now looks the part too with the angrier and muscular face, can seat five people comfortably, its ride quality is simply unmatched, it is feature loaded and has a mind-bogglingly efficient engine. Not only does the S-Cross hold its own among competitors like the Honda BR-V, Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster but offers more interior space, better build quality, a very comfortable ride and an efficient engine should make the S-Cross worthy of your attention! Coming to the available options of SUV under the decent budget of Rs.11-15 Lakhs, there are ample of options. To name a few are: Mahindra XUV300, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster.

+Pavan Krishna As of now, there is no official update for the same. However, Maruti might introduce a 1.5L diesel engine on the S-Cross at a later stage.

+Nitin Gamit Ji haan, aap Maruti S-Cross le sakte hai. April 2020 ke baad bhi sabhi BS-IV cars chalti rahengi.

@@cardekho lekin diesel car bandh kar raha he maruti usse kya fark padega

+Lakshmana Murthi Both the cars are good to buy in their segment and have their own forte. S-cross nails the basics of practicality, space and comfort. It checks all the right boxes to be a great crossover. It is a Delta variant that gets a majority of the updates and it is a good choice if you go with S-cross. On the other hand, Hyundai Verna with the new dynamics has now found a great balance between good handling and great ride quality. EX variant is our recommended variant if you opt for diesel Verna. If you're zeroing in on a diesel-manual or an automatic Verna, the EX variant will be the value-for-money pick. Talking about fuel economy, both the cars offers good fuel efficiency. Ultimately, it boils down to your requirement. Do take a test drive in order to judge your driving comfort.

@@cardekho thank you sir..I really appreciate your response...will go for a test drive

+Lakshmana Murthi You're welcome. Your appreciation is like music to our ears. We just got re-energized to provide an even better experience to you.

+DICKSON BABU Both are indeed good options to go for. Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Alpha is for those who want their Ciaz to pack everything. The Alpha is the variant that gets all the bells and whistles, be it in terms of goodies or styling. The highlight of the Alpha variant is its Android Auto and CarPlay enabled touchscreen system and leather upholstery. The premium over the Zeta is quite acceptable considering all the extra oomph the top-spec Alpha adds! The Ciaz Alpha is also among the most affordable fully loaded offerings in the segment. Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Alpha gets LED projector headlamps with daytime running LEDs and tail lamps with LED graphics, Auto headlamps with auto levelling, auto wipers, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, Leatherette upholstery and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Overall, Maruti has certainly offered something for everyone in each of the variants, though, going by specs alone, the Zeta comes out to be the most value for money offering.

@cardekho thanks for the prompt reply, however, I am Confused between Ciaz Alpha and S-Cross Alpha. Which would be better all round package, considering both the top spec vehicles are priced closely with around 60k parting the two ?

+DICKSON BABU If outright performance and driving dynamics aren't the most important parameter on your list, and you just need a comfy, spacious sedan to drive to (or be driven in) to work and back, then the Ciaz makes a stronger case than ever. Otherwise, S-Cross is a better buy.

Sudhir Devkar yup dude zeta is value for money over alpha..... Well stick on zeta

+Sudhir Devkar This will help - Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Facelift: Variants Explained - bit.ly/2wnWMLA

Well I had the same query before buying. Maruti's ans was no to led lights compatibility on Zeta. But zeta is definitely value fr money. Only significant diff in Alpha is led lights and DRL, other differences r negligible

If you want DRLs then why don't you buy zeta model and install Phillips drl from authorised Maruti dealerships. I guess it's available as an accessory.

Regarding your query...alpha is not worth the 1.5L extra

+Renjith Krishnan Thank you for watching. Stay tuned!

+shravan mathur This is Maruti S-Cross Alpha. Click on the link to know more about it: bit.ly/2T2WrNS

+Asha Dhiman With the extra amount over Sigma variant, Delta gets a non-touch double-din audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, CD playback along with Aux-in and USB input. Rear parking sensors, Black roof rails and full wheel cover, elescopic adjustable steering with audio and calling functions which do not justifies the incremental cost. If you can stretch your budget for Zeta variant, it would be a better pics as it gets Suzuki’s 7-inch SmartPlay infotainment system with built-in navigation and Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto. The unit is coupled to a six-speaker system (four-speakers and two tweeters). Also on offer are voice commands, smartphone app-based remote and rear parking camera support. Passive keyless-entry with engine push-button start-stop, cruise control, auto climate control, height adjustable driver seat, reclining rear seats with armrest (twin cupholders) and electrically foldable ORVMs. Also on offer are rear wash and wipe with defogger. 16-inch machine-cut dual-tone alloys, turn lamps on ORVMs, satin finish interior highlights, centre console with piano black inserts and front fog lamps which justifies the premium for Zeta over delta variant.

I purchased S cross delta in October 2018 . I got all the features of zeta version ,which includes - machine cut alloys , rear defogger , climate control , cruise control , touch start , key fob , touch open buttons on the car outside door handles . I got everything except Led lights and touch screen system .

@Shashank,What’s the on road price for delta version???

+Mohammad Faizullah Hussaini Noted! For starters, click on the link: bit.ly/2KY5qv8

+Hari P Both the cars are good enough and similar ground clearance and height, both the cars are specious too. If we talk about WRV, like the Jazz, the cabin space is super-generous and taking the whole family for a trip will be no hassle. While, the S-Cross’ cabin is, and always was, a comfortable place to be in. There’s adequate headroom & legroom both at the front & the rear, and the rear bench can seat three more easily compared to hatchbacks. In terms of power performance, WRV diesel has an upper hand. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive in order to clear your all doubts.

@@cardekho Thank you for the valuable information

+Hari P You're welcome. Stay tuned.

+Neeraj Raina The AMT gearbox and a Petrol motor will further boost the sales figure of S-Cross but there is no official news as of now. Stay connected for more updates.

+Rock star Creations Bharat stage (BS) emission standards are emission standards instituted by Central Government to regulate the output of air pollutants from internal combustion engine equipment, including motor vehicles. The standards and the timeline for implementation are set by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under Ministry of Environment & Forests and climate change. These standards are based on European regulations were first introduced in 2000. The Union Government in October 2016 had decided to skip one stage and migrate to BS-VI directly from BS-IV from April 2020 to fight the growing pollution. The deadline for it in Delhi was brought forward to 2018 due to higher level of pollution i.e. thick toxic smog faced in winter season. It was part of concerted efforts of Government to reduce vehicular emissions and improve fuel efficiency with an aim to reduce carbon footprints and keep environment healthy. The major difference in standards between the existing BS-IV and new BS-VI auto fuel norms is presence of sulphur. BS-IV fuels contain 50 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, while BS-V and BS-VI grade fuel will have 10 ppm sulphur. Thus, newly introduced BS VI fuel is estimated to reduce amount of sulphur released by 80%. It will also bring down the emission of NOx (nitrogen oxides) from diesel cars by nearly 70 % and 25% from cars with petrol engines. It will also bring down cancer causing particulate matter emissions from diesel engine cars by phenomenal 80%. Though, Maruti S-Cross isn't based on BS-VI emission norms but brand is working to make upgrades in its cars to match BS-VI norms.

@@cardekho I want to buy maruthi suzuki S cross car in the year 2019, but if suddenly govt issues ban of BS 4 cars then what is my situation sir. Some rumors are going on that from 2019 April 1 st onwards all BS4 cars are not permitted on the roads. This is my fear sir.

+Rock star Creations You need not to worry about this as any kind of reforms from govt. side will not effect existing cars as we've seen in BS-IV implementation.

Highly unlikely.

CarDekho 😞☹️

Don't think Maruti will make that 'mistake' again. Truth to be told, the 1.6 engine had a very limited use case and there was a good reason people didn't buy it, apart from the high cost

Kasi karthik May be with in two years scross will come with 1.5 ltr engine...

revanth kumar kanumilli yeah. Hopefully that will be as good as the MJD is

It has awesome back seat and space...better than it's rivals.

+puzha oram As of now, there is no official update regarding its Automatic version.

Ravishankar Patil You are right. A petrol S-Cross would definitely make the model a lot more affordable. There's a new 1.5-litre petrol engine that will likely be introduced in the Ciaz facelift and the next-gen Ertiga soon. But Maruti hasn't made any official announcement on whether that engine will find a place in the S-Cross as well.

+Biswajit Pattanaik The addition of petrol will definitely boost the sales figure of S-Cross and is highly awaited. Maruti might launch it in coming time but there is no official confirmation till now. Stay linked for more updates.

TQ, So do you recommend me to wait for it, or go with Eco or WRV?

+Akshay Mathew The S-Cross might not be your traditional square SUV, but it nails the basics of practicality, space and comfort. On the other hand, the WR-V borrows quite a lot from the Jazz but manages to stand tall on its own toes. It’s got space, it’s efficient and has the right amount of feel-good features. Then there’s Honda’s reputation for reliability. Also, it’s your only option if you want a cross-hatch with a sunroof. So, there.

Well S cross vot bigger tyres and a bit more finishing than Wrv

Drive both and see the difference. S cross feels premium in and out while the WRV not so. Apart from the sunroof ,it even lacks proper head rests at the back. NVH levels are also poor in WRV. Its noisy 1.5L power train doesn't help this either. On the other hand, its quite powerful compared to the Maruti's 1.2L. Also, WRV's lagless engine and smaller size may help you in the city..

The dukish wanderer No

There is no option of sunroof or funroof in India. But S-Cross offers sun roof and All Wheel Drive abroad. Type S-Cross SX4 and see the video review.

+jabez vic The new Verna has matured, and how! It’s evolved into a classy package that drives well, packs in all the tech you need (and more) and priced reasonably as well.

On the other hand, the S-Cross might not be your traditional square SUV, but it nails the basics of practicality, space and comfort. The S-Cross is now less sedan-like from the front and more SUV-like and will pull in buyers who were shying away from this Maruti because of its bland exterior design.

@@cardekho wich one is beter auto with sun roof in SUV pls.

+abbas shaikh As per your requirement we would suggest you to pick for Hyundai Creta SX Automatic.

D.or P

+abbas shaikh If you are traveling less than 50-60km a day, opt for a petrol car instead of a diesel. With the extra Rs 1-1.50 lakh spent on a diesel purchase, you can actually drive a similar petrol car for as many as two years! So, do your math carefully. A diesel usually makes sense if you are driving above 60/70km a day.

+sanchit1978 One thing you can be sure of is that none of these cars will let you down when it comes to their ride quality. The Creta comes across as the most comfort set of the lot. Low speeds bumps are taken care of with ease and it’s only the really large potholes that’ll make occupants uncomfortable as you will feel the Creta lose a little composure. The Creta’s high speed ride is plenty stable as well but some undulations will see the cabin get a bit floaty. Also, while the steering is one-finger-light for the city, it feels well weighted on the highway and fairly responsive through corners. On the other hand, in case of S-cross, low speed ride is comfortable and you can deal with rough edges and potholes comfortably. At the same time, it rides flat out on the highway and doesn’t have that touch of bounciness you get in the Creta after exiting an undulation. Whereas, WR-V also offers comfort from its soft suspension. It really does gobble up any undulation, small bumps and even large speed breakers with ease. The light steering also makes manoeuvring and parking a breeze. Do take a test drive in order to judge your driving comfort.

Hi wanted to really know is it value for money ? You mentioned it lags and scratch on car is too visible easily... If it's worthy car then which colour do you suggest ???

+VARINDER SINGH Banga Indeed it is. It has solid build quality & feels like a proper premium crossover. The cabin of Maruti Suzuki S-Cross composed over rough roads. Technically, the package has also improved, with the ride comfort impressing us considerably. Also, to make the popular engine more fuel efficient, Maruti Suzuki has added SHVS. The large and comfortable S-Cross, after the facelift, deserves to be on your shortlist of sedans or SUVs. After all, it is more sensible than before while being a lot more striking to look at too. If your budget permits then we would suggest you to pick for Zeta trim.

@@cardekho thanks but my budget is upto s cross Sigma model could that model is also reliable, value for money or any other alternate like ford freestyle etc

+VARINDER SINGH Banga Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Sigma(8.85 Lakh (Ex-showroom Price, New Delhi) offers halogen projector headlamps, doesn’t offer any audio system. In terms of comfort - Central locking, electrically adjustable outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), power windows with driver-side auto up/down, tilt adjustable steering, manual AC and height adjustable seatbelts. All in all base trim doesn't offer much; instead you can go for fully loaded trim of Freestyle. Look out for Titanium+(7.89 Lakh (Ex-showroom Price, New Delhi) variant as it gets side and curtain airbags, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, auto dimming IRVM and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system. And while these are features that you can live without, having them will make your driving experience a lot more pleasant. Not to mention, there’s a total of six airbags for added protection as well and you can't bid a price for safety.

Sachin Khandare but the price!!

Where S cross model ends as per price does Creta price starts?

Sachin Khandare Yes.. absolutely true. S cross top end costs around 13 lakhs on road...whereas creta goes till 17/18 lakhs. It's a huge 5 lakhs difference. Most VFM:- S cross zeta...costs 11 lakhs on road(at the price of creta base Variant)...you get all necessary features including projector headlights, cruise control, touch screen infotainment system with android auto and apple carplay, 4 disk brakes (which are all missing in creta at the same price)

Very true. I just did my 30k service yesterday. I had to spend around 12k

I am little confused... for both vitara brezza and s cross which is a best to buy ? which is a better to driving in patches road ? and which is have low cost for service?

Service costs will be more or less the same. Since they are the same mechanically. But the premium feel, interior quality and ride quality is S cross is much better than Brezza.

The S-Cross has a better ride quality. Doesn't unsettle too much over bumps and potholes when driven slowly. It's also spacious and comfortable. Wish it came with an automatic though. Would have made for a perfect city car then

Elvis Pink how exactly can anyone tell you that except by crashing it? Good thing is that dual airbags, ABS, EBD and ISOFIX child seats are offered from the base variant. The car meets Indian crash test norms. Ajit (the host) does mention that the S-Cross feels rock solid to drive. Other than that it seems a bit of a waste to talk about safety in a long term report.
