Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Petrol Could Be Launched Later This Year

In a bid to further increase its sales, the company is contemplating on launching the Maruti S Cross petrol version.

It was September 2015, when Maruti S-Cross was launched in India with two diesel engine options – a 1.3-litre and a 1.6-litre multijet. Due to high pricing, the vehicle initially didn’t receive good feedback which then forced the company to reduce its prices. And as soon as the company cut down its prices, the vehicle actually started picking up in sales. As a matter of fact, the S-Cross is currently the top-selling crossover in the country. In a bid to further increase its sales, the company is contemplating on launching the Maruti S Cross petrol version.

Though the company hasn’t made any official statement about the engine that will power the upcoming Maruti S Cross petrol, a Autocar India report claims that it will be a M15 1.5-litre petrol engine. The report further claims that the same engine could also replace the Maruti Ciaz’s 1.4-litre K-series engine. With rising demand for petrol-engined vehicles in the country, the move to bring in the S-Cross petrol might surely work in favour of the company. While a 5-speed manual gearbox will come as standard with the S Cross 1.5L M15 petrol engine, there might also be a 4-speed automatic gearbox on offer.

The Maruti S Cross petrol model will look identical to the diesel variant, as the vehicle will not receive any cosmetic or feature upgrades. Having said that, the company might bring in a special edition of the S Cross during this year’s festive season. The special edition will be the same that was showcased at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo. The special edition model will get features such as chrome accents on front bumper, wing mirrors in matt black finish, alloy wheels with darker shade, rear spoiler with black finish, etc.
