Maruti Suzuki S-Cross [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior Looks are not very eye candy. Well some people likes it and some doesn't. For me its okay kind of looks but when it comes to value of looks the amount you paying and you get some ordinary looks that’s not fair. I don't think this is premium car at all.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I liked the features, touch screen is really good, blue tooth connectivity, steering controls, etc. I would like to bring a point to notice that the horn control is not reachable for short palm people & my spouse is one of them.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox That’s a well proven engine and it's an Indian national engine so no complain on that part, but its low torque and BHP makes your drive very hard when it comes bumper to bumper driving. You need to shift gears very frequently and finally ends up banging your head yourself for your 'premium' decision. People who moved to Maruti for very first time by using other competitor cars with descent power & torque will give up on this 'premium' car. I'm a descent tall person & I have serious toe pain/ankle pain driving this 'premium' car on bumper to bumper drive on daily commute.

Ride Quality & Handling As told above, the ride quality is not fair enough for the money what you have paid. But its good on the highways. But my commute is mostly on the city & I drive XUV on highways, I don't think this is a wise decision I made by moving from small i!0 to this big 'premium' car.

Maruti is best & known for 'Kitna deta hai' attitude of Indian customers. Hence they compromised on the engine performance but eventually its made-up your life miserable with ride quality. But I'm telling if a person is able to spend about over 11 Lakhs then who compromise on performance.

Final Words If your daily commute is in city and its in a bumper to bumper driving conditions then think twice and if you are able to spend couple of more lakhs probably you will end up on having a very nice and hassle free car.

Well obviously the after sales is the only pros I can think off.Delicate body, low power on bumper to bumper drive, frequent switching of gears.

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.

I just drive 20000 km and get this happen. I think that Suzuki refine engine but it get problem like Tata zest I buy Tata zest  2year ago it get just like this problem. And many people buy S-Cross by seeing me they got also problem like this my neighbor also brought by seeing me at my time only they got also problem their car engine also fail.

This car is very good but because it was and engine problem this car fail so I just sell My s cross 1.3 delta and brought s cross 1.6 Zeta so please if you want to buy  scross buy 1.6 varient I just exchange in showroom and I bought scross 1.6 it give 20 average.

So my final warning is to varient and those who buy in 1-4 month of 2016 please sell it. This my real review not a fake review if you know from 1-4 month car all car has to be change break caliber but company not said about 1.3 engine so please if you buy 1.3 engine car please sell it because I'm not onle many people get this problem.

Good space, style, interior,exteriorEngine is very bad

It has been about 2 months driving my new S-Cross Delta 1.3. I and my firends highly impressed by its performance.

Exterior Stylish but Engineers could have worked to make it more aggressive and stylish, Marks its presence on Roads. Perfect Crossover.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Big Space: Good Leg and head room available for all passengers (rear and front). Boot space is more than we require generally.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best Mileage: I drove 2000 Km (from Delhi to Gorakhpur, up and down) with average Mileage of  24 KMPL with  AC used as per requirement . My SCROSS gives 20-23 KMPL while driving to my office from Delhi to Gurgaon.

Ride Quality & Handling Good Handling and Stay Grounded on Road. Gives SUV like feeling while driving on most rough roads across INDIA I have ever seen

Final Words It is best buy in its price range. 

Areas of improvement Rear AC vents required for such a big car.

Mileage King, Ample Space, Smooth HandlingRear AC vents are not present.

Exterior

An average look from the front, but from the rear it looks SUVish. Roomy windows, proportionately designed

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Immense space, elite comfort, System sounds adequate, quite cabin at higher speeds, plastics are of a better quality & presently S-Cross is the costliets car from Suzuki in INDIA.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

You can say it has the NATIONAL diesel engine..haha..1.3DDIS. Super fuel economy. Play the foot peddles & the gear in proportion & you will get a good mileage. My cluster shows 26.1KMPL (Believe me). I have driven it at surely not more than 100KMPL though. GearBox & Suspension seems like MS have done a PhD on.

Ride Quality & Handling

Suspension being on the stiffer side gives you a confident ride both in city & on highway. Steering wheel gives you good amount of feedback. Clutch & Steering wheel are very light & a breeze to handle in any situation. TurboLag is there but after 1750RPM...it shoots like a bullet

Final Words

S-Cross & Baleno come from the house of NEXA & mind my words these products are only made by Suzuki only. Presenlty, NEXA sells only Suzuki-made vehicle. So you surely have better quality cars in all contexts

Areas of improvement  

Better ground clearance & the fron lamps (Only the Head lamps) can probably be worked on to make it look more aggressive. People today are more smitten by cosmetic appeal. The ones like us who tested the core chose to own one.

 

Drivability, Comfort on long drives, Mileage, Silent Cabin, Interiors, HandlingGround clearance, Services advisors lack experience, though they do make an effort

1)good welcoming by nexa 2)good comfort for a maruti suzuki 3)cons. Ac would cut off at above 120 km per hr for 1.6 variant 4)Maintenance as expecteted comparitively low than other brands of around 6-7 k of general oil service

Exterior 

Personally i like the exterior with its led headlamps,split rear tail lamp etc but they could have done better in styiling the front because its a little bland for a cross and the alloys too should have been offered with an option of diamond cut alloys.rest of it i really like it like the door mounted aerodynamic side mirrors and the roof rails. it is a user friendly exterior.No one will really be wowed by the exterior but some will like it. the ground clearence too is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The interiors are the best thing i like in this car.Even though they are typical maruti all black interiors they have a premium feel to it with things like soft touch plastics and all.the seats are great supporters they are coverd with plush black leather whitch is standard.It is the most spacious cross in india and the comfy one too.Ride quality is great if you use the tyre pressure recommended by the company. a touch screen with sat nav and all the goodies is easy to use but apple car play would have livened it morebut you dont feel the lack of it with blutooth. you get auto ac wich is very useful and cruise control which we barely use but is very good in a maruti.the steering wheelis covered in leather(also the gear knob)which are really good additionsthe folding mirrors etc also come in handy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 This is the part i really like to talk about.the 1.6 engine is a gem of a motor it is so quick and refined u wont feel it riding. it hits 100 ina whoooooosh.anyone willl enjoy driving this engine.along with this you get a super slick 6 speed gearbox which works well.but thre is one problem with this engine, turbo lag . in first gear when u take off there is a turbo lag witch makes it a little commbusum to drive around traffic. but once you get past that 2000 rpm you will forget all the problems.fantastic high speed stabillty and it goes like a rocket when overtaking and no one feel tired driving this car for a long journey as the seating is spot on and sporty.

Ride Quality & Handling

 ride is a little bumpy in slow city speeds when it is just brought but if you stick to the tire pressure it gets a lot smoother and highways are the best region in ride in this car.the suspension is spot on.stability is good considering the light weight body.when it comes to handling also the scross impresses with light feedback on city speeds and well weighting in high speeds. it may not be as crisp as the swift but it is good enough.

 FINAL WORD

The car is a great performer in every manner  offers great space and you do get the premium feel of an cuv.i think the people are not opting because if the price of the car.

Areas of improvement  

 Not much but they could look at the price and looks one more.

 

great perfomance,space,fuel economy and comfortprice,turbo lag before1500 rpm

Exterior Its great, with new design  with sporty look, alloy wheel design and front, head light design will be a bit -ve thing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is great with black finish every where, lack of rear ac vent is a prob, rest all it's great especially leg room for rear passengers its awesome.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine looks a bit under power, over all can't see much difference in city traffic. great fuel economy i got 26kmpl in highways and city is around 17 kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is great it takes bumps very cool, ground clearance has improved ride quality, handling is great

Final Words Must go for it vechile if you are seeing for space, style and mileage as a majour priority

Areas of improvement Rear ac went and few features can be added, dimond cut alloys can be introduced. wecant sutdown the touch screen system completely which is useful some times.

Fuel economy, Space, featuresrear ac went , alloy wheel design

I bought the car in the month of November 2105 & drive 7500KM. I am just sharing the experience.

According to the length & weight of the Car the engine of 1248CC is very small. it feels underpower/owerloaded in the first gear. it shows like you are pushing the car.it doesnt give the feel of any SUV/Crossover or any big car. In this segment all the cars like Duster/Eco having quite big Engines which is the need of such quite big cars.

As I believe Maruti dont have any new engines they place the same engine in every car like swift, Baleno, Ciaz & now in s cross.

I dont know why maruti have launched 1.3 in India whereas ROW 1.6 is available only. Apart from the Engine, car is quite spacious and comfertable for sitting, milage is good approx 20lmpl with AC. 1.6 is ok as per the size of the car. This is the major area of Improvement.

Quote spacious & comfertableAs per the length & weight of the Car, Engine of 1248CC is very small, not comfertable to drive. It

Better quality interier would have helped. Engine is weak, 1498 would have been a better option. Riding on highway is cool, no hiccups. For city engine is tricky. Maintenace is negligible.
