मारुति सुज़ुकी एस-क्रॉस [2014-2017] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

It has been pleasure driving S-Cross 1.3 ever since the day I took it to my home from Nexa showroom. In six months I have done more than 12,000 kms but still everytime I drive it brings smile on my face. Made two long trips, one is to Rajasthan and other is Delhi to Srinagar. On both the occassions altough fully loaded ,the car didn't disappointed on any of the parameters. Be it  the power & torque you require to drive uphill or the comfort for the family  memebers sitting in for more than 10-12 hours.  I would have given 10/10 in comfort if there could have been rear ac vent. AC is quite effective but you to have keep it on high to make sure that everyone gets their share of coolness. But then driver and copassengers suffers extra coldness.

Another cons of the CAR is poor JK elanza tyres, one should plan to change them to michelin or some other reputed brand  on very first day of ownership. With JK you wouldn't feel good beyond 110-120Km and you wouldn't enjoy premium drive quality and handling.

Othen than above, there is nothing else to complain about the CAR. The best part of the car is it's handling. Some may call the car overgrown hatch back or crossover or SUV but it's superb drivability & maneuverability is just like any small car which gives you confidence of taking it to any kind of streets or cut across the traffic as you would like.

Overall this car is much better any other big hatchbacks or even Sedans of upto 10-11 lakhs. And also far ahead than EcoSport, TUV300. Probably only compition it has is with Dustor, Creta. and above cars.

 

Good Fuel Economy , Premium ride quality , good interiorsAC vent at the back is missing , poor OEM tyres

Please don't buy this 1.3 all varient because it is failuer engine I just brought this 1.3 delta on March 2016 and on 2nd octomber my engine get fail not when I show at showroom and service center they said that all 1.3 varient from january to April 2016 all 1.3 liter engine have this problem.

Good space, style, interior,exteriorEngine is very bad

Requirements- 1. Spacious 5seater car 2. Diesel engine with good fuel efficiency 3. Bulletproof reliablity 4. Optimum maintenance cost 5. Good build quality 6. Safety net (ABS, airbags) which weren't that pervasive in 2015 7. Interior of the car was more importance than exterior (as we would be spending more time inside the car) Options that the market had - 1. Renault Duster 2. Hyundai Creta 3. Maruti s cross 4. Maruti Ertiga 5. Ford scosport Thoughts behind my decision - 1. Passenger space was more important over bootspace. Interiors looked outdated. Hence, duster was eliminated 2. Creta 1.6 was expensive and out of the budget. Creta 1.4 was narrowly eliminated as it was less fuel efficient than s cross 1.3 and had less shoulder room in the rear as compared to s cross (Creta is genuinely a wide car, but the rear bench doesn't extend till the entire width of the car) 3. S cross loved the interiors - dark colour and rich texture. Wouldn't get soiled easily. Engine had just decent power. Lacked rear AC vents. Passenger room was the best. 4. Ertiga - didn't like small tires, less width and the interiors. 5. Ecosport - great car. Only downside is that the space offered is equivalent to space offered by a hatchback. Inadequate leg room for a family if plus sized adults. I harboured concerns regarding build quality of maruti, but s cross prooved me wrong. The doors shut with an European thud and body panels felt as if they were built to last Buying experience - Undoubtedly the NEXA guys (NEXA cybercity, Bhubaneswar) take the buying experience to a different level. You are well attended to at their showroom. The sales rep explain you all the options and prices. There were several good deals that we're available like alloy wheels, reverse parking camera, seat covers, floor mats, mud flaps - which we're almost an upgrade to the next higher version. I did a lot of research on various blogs (team BHP, etc) and finally zeroed on the S Cross. Riding experience- Stellar ride quality - eats up bumps and potholes with ease. Expansion joints become a thing to play with. Planted and plush ride over undulations. Handling was average. Yes, the A pillar does obstruct vision at times. Looks, performance and others- Looks wont slay you. But they will gradually grow over you. I fell in love with the interiors - they cocoon you. Soft texturing on the dashboard makes the car feel rich(better material than Creta) and the large glass area makes it feel airy. Turbo lag is present and below 1700rpm, the car feels like a sloth bear. Once the turbo kicks in, there is no dearth of power. The mid range and the top end are good. However, the car lacks bottom end. Max speed achieved - 170kmph (though 180kmph has been achieved by some in vast open stretches of tarmac) Car had the best manners on our highways. Servicing cost - 1st servicing - rs 3500 2nd servicing - rs 6800 3rd servicing - rs 8000 Costs include all consumables, engine oil, oil filter, etc Maruti guys provide excellent service at doorstep for any NEXA car. Even minute sounds inside the door were prompty attended to. We had also observed minute noise from the rear suspension. Maruti guys replaced the entire unit on the same day. Pros - 1. Excellent service 2. Fuel efficiency - 17.5 kmpl inside city (I am not always gentle on the throttle) 21kmpl on highways (100-120kmph) 23kmpl (80-100kmph which my father does) and 16kmpl (130-170kmph) 3. Good build quality (not aware if maruti has cut costs on the current models, but the first batch of s cross had great build quality. They were made for the European market and we're later introduced in India) 4. Ride quality is excellent - way ahead of Creta 5. Passenger space is the best in the segment. Large glass area is also an added advantage 6. Excellent brakes - disc brakes at all four ends - rest offer 2drum + 2disc Cons - 1. Turbo lag - takes time to get used to 2. Lack of rear AC vents - AC is adequately powerful to cool thanks cabin , but the driver will feel the chills first.. 3. Ground clearance - though 180mm ground clearance is good , with a full load of passengers , you can end up scraping the bottom (over mountaneous speed breakers and humps - has happened only once) 190-200mm ground clearance would have been better 4. Looks - won't set your heart on fire, but with time, they can grow on you People who love understated elegance (like Volkswagen) will love the car. People who long for looks won't. Happy car buying!

I will write about looks of the car was basic but later on they have developed the new design and that is awesome, overall car is luxury and comfort level is awesome, best part is the boot space , the build quality is very good and very much suitable for the long drive and wheel base is big so driving is very very comfortable
