Maruti Suzuki S-Cross [2017-2020] User Reviews

Pros- Good mileage, Cosy seat, Looks, Space, Ground Clearance, Tyre, nice suspension Cons- Lack of accessories in market, Power I brought the Zeta model of S Cross. I must say the buying experience with Nexa was one of the best till date. Before buying this car I had a test drive of WRV, Creta, Etios Cross X, KUV Nxt, Eco Sports, but I found this car to be best in terms of driving experience. The high seating and the command in the seat makes it a true SUV. I had taken the car to off-road as well the car is very nice in terms of comfort.

I love this car. Mileage approx 23 kmpl. Micro hybrid systems save fuel. Nexa gives too much features in car. I have already Ford endeavour this car gives me that type feeling. Car height also little bit up that's give good driving in rural areas. No any compare any car in same category. Pure Indian type road car. Happy to bought that car. Thanks to nexa.

Beautiful looks smooth drive a complete suv in a budget.. very good interior and exterior too.. so much comfortable and fuel economy is too good 22km/l on highway and 18km/l in a city .Inside there is so much space very good boot space... stylish and bold looks.my riding experience was awesome value for money

Dear all, I am proud to choose/have perfect SUV for me S-cross Zeta. This SUV have all features like keyless entry, keyless start, security system, abs, ebd, awesome and jabardast infotainment system, smart hybrid etc. Handsome driveability, sufficient power. If you drive this suv feels like king. Mileage showing 19 km just after 13 days from purchase and mileage increasing day by day. Now compare with its 2 opponents CRETA and Ecosport. Creta have no perfect dashboard and costly about 2 lacs and less mileage compare to S-cross. Ecosport feels us small suv as 4 meter car vs 4.3 meter. In s-cross you will get comfortable seating arrangements and big boot space. Scross only vehicle who have all 4 wheel disc brake system. Though scross have deisel engine but it's driving like MAKKHAN.  So I recommend to go blindly to purchase S cross and you will find that you have taken one of the best decision. Hope my review will help everyone to take right decision. Note - Before purchase SUV I have taken test drive of Ecosport Creta Ciaz WRV BRV Dzire and Brezza. But Scross is marvellous and one of the best one in the segment.

Hi Guys,

I have purchased the new S-Cross on October 26th 2017.  After driving 300 km I feel that engine pick up is reduced and mileage increased. But the problem is if  you are riding on the gully roads and  think there are lot of speed breakers then you should be in gear 1 not even 2 nd gear support if AC on. If AC switched off then if you feel the better power.

Exterior Looks good, and the build quality is good  in ZETA  am not sure about alpha version

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality was good , Boot space good and wider view angel. ARM rest and driver foot rest are awesome. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good in prospects of highway riding, but in city it is not that great perfomer.

Fuel efficency is good in terms of high way am able to see 20+ KM. In city it is 11 to 13 KM/L I guess this is very early to confirm on mileage.

Ride Quality & Handling Driving comfort and handling is good and driver foot rest on clitch side I feel it is awesome. Due to Smart technology in the traffic signals if put hand break and you remove the foot from break and clitch then Car will stop. When remove the hand break and press the clitch engine will start immediatly this is good one.

Final Words Good Highway rider will feel more comfort. 

Areas of improvement Improve the engine 1.3 to 1.4or 5 which will give the more power.

Looks and Highway ridingUnder power when AC is on

On 1st Jan 2020 I bought it from Satnam motocorp road no 3 vki area Jaipur and just after 200 km it was showing check engine sign I reported to the dealer they said to send the vehicle we will see after they send the vehicle to prem motors( service provider) After keeping three days they fully dismantled my vehicle from engine starting dashboard handbrake everything they are not able to rectify the vehicle shame on you Nexa for selling me a demo car instead of a new car.

I purchased S Cross 2 months back I driven 4000 km , according to engine car average is very poor , company claim 26 km but I am getting 17 km average only . Overall car is good by look and comfort......company should think about its mileage because hybrid engines are giving good mileage . Because it is very popular car of Nexa .

Exterior Sporty European look is very apealing. Good ground clearance, large wheel base, superior paint quality, heavy metal sheet used for this vehicle.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Keyless entry, improoved leg room, well decorated dashboard, stylish vanity mirrors, one touch up-down driver side window, upgraded music system, adjustable back seats, remarkable boot space and 5th wheel settlement also with special tool tray.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Refined engine less noisy than other maruti cars, gear box is same as Dzire but stearing wheel is soft than previous models.

Ride Quality & Handling This vehicle is truely for INDIAN roads with good edge control during sharp curves, cruise control is a new feature but not useful for indian traffic BE CAREFULL.

Final Words Value for money. Build for HAPPINESS.

Areas of improvement Back side fog lamps not available, radio antena borrow from other models, halogen headlights are not top rated.

DESIGN looks like European SUV and very COMFORTABLEDRL Lights not available in lower variants . . . . .

This is about the s cross alpha. It has a really cool look on the exterior when you compare it with the previous version of the s cross. The interior does not really suit the price. It could have been better, atleast in the top models. I have driven around 3500 km in my car so far. Nexa claims to have a mileage of around 25 kmpl.

But in my personal experience, the mileage in the city ranges between 16 - 18 kmpl and for long drives, you may get a mileage of 20-21 kmpl, tops. The Automatic climate control system is cool, although the lack of rear ac vents is a bit obvious, especially in a country like ours where we have hot summers, and the government not allowing the use of sun films on window glasses.

The interior is spacious and 5 people can fit into it quite easily. However the ground clearance is lower compared to SUVs and therefore one must be cautious near larger humps while travelling with the car fully occupied. Also nexa claims that the cabin noise is meagre, but this is untrue. The cabin noise is a bit too loud and you will definitely have to get accustomed to it while driving at lower gears. Another drawback is that it is difficult to overtake another vehicle unless you cross the 2000 RPM mark.

This is solely due to the 1.3 L engine. Hence, the gear has to be always changed to a lower one if you have to quickly overtake a vehicle. The Android smartplay infotainment system is excellent, and easy to use. The handling of the car is really smooth and it is a good buy if you plan on going for long rides.

This is really appreciable as Nexa has been able to minimize the body roll of the vehicle, especially while driving at turns. Yet another thing we will notice is that the car is really stable, even at speeds over 100 kmph( Don't overspeed owing to this feature and endanger yourself amd others ??) The SHVS is nice and the Brake energy restart is really helpful at the traffic signals.

But not quite sure whether it lowers the fuel consumption though. The day time running lamps are a standout and the led headlamps and tail lights make the car standout and gives it a premium look, especially at night. On the whole, the S cross is a good car to buy, but Maruti could have corrected some of the errs in making by providing a 1.5 L engine and Rear Ac vents.

The car weighs around 1700 kg and asking a 1.3 L engine to pull it is like child labour. But the weight shouldn't be reduced, or the stability will be lost. If these two problems are addressed, then this car would be a fun ride and will outplay all of the other cars in its segment.

P.S: I love this car(except when I am overtaking another vehicle??).
