2020 Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Petrol: Price Expectation In India

The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross petrol is all set to go on sale in India on August 5, 2020. The crossover, which was once a diesel-only model will now be launched with the new 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine with the company's Smart Hybrid Vehicle from Suzuki (SHVS) technology, the same set-up as the Ciaz. Maruti Suzuki showcased the car at the Auto Expo 2020, and we already know a fair bit about the S-Cross petrol, including the fact that it will see no visual update compared to the diesel model. However, the one major factor that still remains unknown is the price of the crossover, and here's what we expect with regards to its pricing.

Now, before Maruti Suzuki discontinued the diesel-powered S-Cross in February this year, the crossover was priced in India from Rs. 8.81 lakh to Rs. 11.44 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Being a petrol-only model, 2020 S-Cross will certainly get a bit more aggressive price tag. Also, this time around, the S-Cross might finally come with an automatic option, considering the engine is available with a 4-speed torque converter in the Vitara Brezza, and Ciaz. Taking all these into consideration, the new 2020 Maruti Suzuki S-Cross petrol BS6 is expected to be priced in the range of Rs. 7.80 lakh to Rs. 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
