It’s been less than two months, Maruti Suzuki introduced the first mid-life facelift of the S-Cross crossover in India. In this short span of time, the car has crossed 11,000 bookings mark with a total sales of 5,000 units. The 2017 model year of the crossover comes with a bit of premium quotient in terms of exterior styling and features. What further goes in the favour of the car is its new 1.3L DDiS SHVS engine, which is more efficient than the old 1.6L diesel unit.
The new S-Cross facelift’s Fiat-sourced 1.3L DdiS is benefited with Smart Hybrid from Suzuki (SHVS) technology that includes idle-stop start, brake energy regeneration system, torque assist and a gearshift indicator. This powertrain is capable of generating 89bhp with a peak torque of 200Nm. All variants of the crossover get a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. Sitting on a lighter platform, the new S-Cross provides a mileage of 25.1kmpl. Read: New Maruti S-Cross Vs Old S-Cross – What’s The Difference?
