Maruti S Cross: The Maruti S-Cross brought in a new face for Maruti Suzuki in the Indian crossover segment. More of a crossover than a hatch or SUV, the S-Cross, is the Nexa premium offering that combines road presence and style with usability. Thanks to its pumped-up design, it looks just as good on the road and as it is maneuverable for urban expeditions. The front fascia with a large chrome-studded grill, wide LED projector headlamps, and well-chiselled bonnet lend it an aggressive SUV stance not seen in the regular sedans and hatchbacks especially its facelift. The S-Cross is one of those cars that stands out but it doesn’t look too aggressive, that’s a win-win for corporate buyers and the baseball dad.
Comfortable Cabin with Premium Elements
The Maruti S-Cross interior carries a strong sense of form meets function with a hint of luxe. The cabin comes swathed in a black and silver dual-tone with soft touch plastics and mild dashes of chrome on the dashboard and doors. Seats are comfortable enough for extended cruising, and there is plenty of legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The elevated seating position allows excellent road visibility and increased driver confidence in traffic and the open road. The rear boot is generous enough to perform the role of a luggage bay (for shopping or weekend traveling) and aspects of the car are multi-faceted too. From quality of fit and finish to the physical texture of buttons and knobs, the S-Cross still feels acceptable upmarket for any ‘premium’ crossover.
Smart Features That Enhance Convenience

You also get automatic climate control, electrically adjustable/foldable ORVMs, cruise control, push-button start/stop, and keyless entry to enhance driver convenience.

The contemporary in-car equipment and convenient interior make S-Cross not just ideal for city life but for outstation touring as well.

The car rumbles gently over rough stuff, and steering feel is good. It still feels precise, yet predictable and confidence-inspiring whether driving through a snarl of curves or cruising down a straight road. There’s enough ground clearance to venture off pavement a bit, while on the road it’s surprisingly smooth. The brakes hook and there’s a reassuring balance and planted feel to the overall weight distribution. ‘ This makes the S-Cross ideal for city commuters as well as weekend travellers, who tend to drive on highways or rough roads.
