Exterior The Exterior is not great when compared to Hyundai Creta. Looks more ike SX 4 in front but the rear is nice.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) You get a good feel inside with spacious rear leg room, good view for the Driver seat though there is no adjustment facility for lower end models, good knee support,good storage facilities though boot space could be better.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Sigma model 1.3 has the proven diesel engine and good drivability especially in a city like Mumbai. average at 15 Kms in city driving conditions is very good. Gear box is sleek. steering feel is good, and the initial drag of the diesel engine is seen as compared to petrol ones though it does not hamper much. Highway driving is also decent though not great and the JK tyres are not giving the quality of drive that otherwise the car might provide. Change tyres if you can at the earliest if you drive highways frequently. ABS , Dis breaks and airbags being standard equipments are handy and give you a sense of confidence while driving at 3 digit speeds.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good assisted by good suspension and disc brakes though at low speeds the stiffnes of the same throw you up from the seats. Head lamps are not great during night times and if you are frequent highway driver better change the headlamps with more powerful lights. I wish Maruti provide the project lamp in all the models. It is no t available as an accessory also. I am yet to take a for a long drive but the feel of the car has been good.
Final Words Maruti has reduced the priice by about Rs60000 on all 1.3 models and by 2 lakhs on all 1.6 models. Those who bought the cars earlier have been taken for a ride and Maruti should provide free upgrades by way of accessories to compensate. S cross is a good breed for the present price offer and you get a feel of a big sedan while sitting inside.
Areas of improvement Headlamps, Tyres, boot space and Nexa service. The Nexa staff are inexperienced lot and one sees total commotion in the showroom and though they try to be pleasant, they seem to lack the expert salesmanship that one normally encounters in such places.
