BS6 Maruti S-Cross Petrol Might Launch In April/May
Maruti Suzuki kick started this year with the launch of new Vitara Brezza, Ignis and Dzire facelifts that will be soon followed by BS6 Maruti S-Cross petrol. Previewed at the 2020 Auto Expo, the crossover’s updated model is likely to hit roads sometime in April or May. This time around, the vehicle will get a BS6-compliant 1.5L petrol engine boosted with Suzuki’s dual battery system – SHVS mild hybrid technology. Read – Upcoming new Maruti Suzuki Cars in 2020-21
It’s the same gasoline motor that does duty in the 2020 Maruti Vitara Brezza facelift. The petrol engine delivers a claimed power of 103bhp at 6,000rpm against a peak torque of 138Nm at 4,400rpm. The crossover will be offered with a 5-speed manual (standard) and a 4-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox option. The BS4 1.3L diesel engine, that’s good enough for 89bhp and 200Nm, will be discontinued from the model lineup.
Minor changes are likely to be made on the BS6 Maruti S-Cross. The crossover might get LED projector headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, updated touchscreen infotainment system and cruise control. Similar to the existing model, the updated one will come in four trims – Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha.
Features such as LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED taillamps, silver roof rails, rain sensing wipers, auto headlamp levelling and automatic headlamps, leather seat upholstery, steering and door armrest and auto dimming inside rear view mirrow will continue to be offered on the range-topping Alpha trim only.
In coming months, the Indo-Japanese carmaker will also bring in the 2020 Maruti Swift facelift with new Dualjet petrol engine. It’s the same powertrain that was recently introduced in the updated Dzire. The BS6-compliant 1.2L Dualjet motor generates a peak power of 90bhp thus making it more powerful than the existing 82PS, 1.2L K12B petrol motor. It will also make the Swift more fuel economical than before.
