Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for the launch of the facelifted version of its crossover, the S-Cross, around Diwali this year. Launched in 2015, the S-Cross was Maruti’s first car to enter the Nexa range of showrooms.
Suzuki had unveiled the updated S-Cross at 2016 Paris Motor Show. Other than a new chrome front grille, it also gets a redesigned bumper which has large radiator grille. The vehicle is also equipped with projector lamps, which we expect will come only with the top-end variant. The lamps are flanked by LED daytime running lamps. At the rear, the tail lamps have been redesigned and now get LED treatment. All these changes have made the S-Cross more appealing and aggressive.
"The S-Cross will get refreshed and the launch will take place around Diwali” said CV Raman, executive director, R&D, Maruti Suzuki Limited.
The company has added new bits on the inside. Some variants will get new upholstery; there’s also an updated instrument cluster with new MID and also new interior colour combination. The S-Cross also gets a four-mode ALLGRIP system, radar brake support (RBS) and heated front leather seats. However, the Indian-spec model won’t be launched with any of these fancy features.
The 2017 S-Cross gets a new 1.0-litre Boosterjet motor. But Maruti Suzuki won’t launch the vehicle in India with this powertrain. We will continue to get the 1.6-litre DDiS motor which churns out 88bhp and 320Nm of peak torque and the smaller 1.3-litre 89bhp engine.
