Maruti Suzuki S-Cross

Once only available with a diesel, this premium crossover from Maruti Suzuki is now only available with a petrol!

I FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN HERE before. A Suzuki badge on the nose. A 1.3 turbo-diesel swapped out for a 1.5 petrol. A manual now supplemented with the option of an automatic. It’s just… the last time around I was looking out over a beach and this time, I'm trying to avoid a deadly virus. The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross has been given nearly the same treatment that we saw on the Vitara Brezza at its first drive-in Goa — BS6 forcing out the diesel and having it replaced by the naturally aspirated 1.5 petrol engine. Not much else has changed. On the face of it, the S-Cross looks the same right down to the hybrid badge since the diesel also had mild-hybrid technology. There’s a new infotainment screen, but the big change is under the hood.
