Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Silently Updated With New Features And Prices
Saar: The crossover now comes with a speed alert warning system, rear parking sensors and the front passenger-side seat-belt reminder with buzzer as standard.
Last month, Maruti Suzuki launched the mid-life update of the Ciaz in India. Apart from receiving a bunch of cosmetic changes inside and out, the sedan also got a few new features which, up until now, were exclusive to it. Not anymore! Maruti Suzuki has silently updated the S-Cross in India. The company has beefed-up the features list and also the prices.
With this update, the S-Cross’ safety quotient has been raised. As standard, the crossover now comes with a speed alert warning system, rear parking sensors and the front passenger-side seat-belt reminder with a buzzer. The Delta trim, which is second from bottom in the hierarchy tree, gets more features than before. The list includes:
- 16-inch alloy wheels
- Electrically foldable ORVMs with turn indicators
- Rear wiper with washer
- Rear demister
- Automatic climate control
- Push button start/stop, and
- Cruise control
With the refreshed feature list out of the way, let’s take a look at the new price list:
Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Pricelist (ex-showroom Delhi): New Vs Old
| Variant | Old Prices | New Prices | Approximate Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sigma | Rs 8.61 Lakh | Rs 8.85 Lakh | Rs 24,000 |
| Delta | Rs 9.42 Lakh | Rs 9.97 Lakh | Rs 55,000 |
| Zeta | Rs 9.98 Lakh | Rs 10.45 Lakh | Rs 47,000 |
| Alpha | Rs 11.32 Lakh | Rs 11.45 Lakh | Rs 13,000 |
As before, the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross continues to be offered with just one engine-transmission option. Under the hood lives a Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre turbo-diesel engine that puts out 90PS of power and 200Nm of torque. The motor comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that routes the power to the road via the front two wheels only. Maruti Suzuki claims that its five-seater crossover can return a mileage of up to 25.1kmpl.
With the updated recipe, the S-Cross has certainly become one of the best all-rounders in its segment. It competes with the Hyundai Creta, Renault Captur, Nissan Terrano and the Renault Duster. In a few weeks’ time, Maruti Suzuki will launch the second-generation Ertiga MPV in India. Apart from housing the same 1.5-litre petrol engine that debuted with the Ciaz facelift, the new Ertiga is also tipped to become the launching platform for Maruti Suzuki’s in-house developed 1.5-litre diesel engine.
