Maruti Suzuki S-Cross - 5 Things You Should Know

Maruti Suzuki's next all new product for the Indian market will be the S-Cross that has recently made its debut at the 2015 IIFA awards. Though the vehicle is a compact crossover, it will take on the likes of compact SUVs including Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano and the Hyundai Creta. Just like the Ciaz, the S-Cross will be sold through Maruti Suzuki's exclusive dealerships for its premium cars - Nexa.

Here's a list of 5 things that you should know about the S-Cross.

1. The S-Cross will not wear Maruti Suzuki badge like others cars. Instead, it will just have the Suzuki logo and model name written.

2. The S-Cross is based on the SX4 hatchback, that never came to India. However, in some European markets, the hatchback was replaced by the crossover. That said, India will only get the crossover but with some design and mechanical changes.

3. Unlike the global model's 3-piece horizontal slat grille, the Indian version will have two slats. Also, it will have increased ground clearance than the European model.

4. Since the S-Cross will share its cabin with the Swift, it will have the same all-black interiors with silver inserts.

5. The Indian version of the crossover will be powered by a different set of engines when compared to its European counterpart. While the European version is available with 1.6-litre petrol and diesel motors, the Indian version will get two diesel engines - 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre multijet - both of which have been sourced from Fiat.
