Under the hood, the new S-Cross facelift is now available only with the 1.3-litre diesel engine. The 1.3-litre engine, badged as the DDiS 200, now comes with the company's Smart Hybrid from Suzuki (SHVS) technology, which includes idle-stop start, torque assist, brake energy regeneration system and a gearshift indicator. Power figures are expected to remain unchanged at 89 bhp and 200 Nm of peak torque, while the transmission duties will be handled by a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard and as of now, there is no word of an automatic option. Sadly, the Fiat-sourced 1.6-litre diesel engine has been discontinued from the line-up.
