Did Maruti miss a trick by not offering the S-Cross with AWD?

At least I wish they had offered it as an option on the top end variant. It would have been great for enthusiasts and those in hilly areas.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?

Definitely ahead of its time. And if it were launched today, it would sit comfortably alongside the premium crossover trend.

I don't think so. It was just poorly marketed. Back then, Maruti didn’t know how to sell a premium product.

It was a good concept, but poorly executed. The market couldn’t afford the 1.6 diesel, which was the initial.

Safety and build quality were a bit ahead of their time. These aspects are just now being valued by the market.

The S-Cross was left stranded in no man's land, not an SUV enough for SUV buyers, too expensive for hatchback upgraders.

Maruti didn't evolve it to keep up with changing market trends, I'd say it was right for its time.

Ahead by some parameters (safety, refinement), behind in others (no option to petrol at first, a conservative appearance).

The Brezza had to run, so the S-Cross walked. Maruti was able to understand the premium crossover segment better.
Is the S Cross a premium NEXA experience or that of a Maruti overpriced?

A glorified Maruti with some extra chrome slapped on is all it is. It is the same cheap plastics and rattly build quality like any other Maruti.

The S-Cross actually had pretty good build quality and refinement for its segment, I don't agree. The 1.6 diesel was a gem of an engine.
Is the S Cross a premium NEXA experience or that of a Maruti overpriced?

It's a mixed bag. The interior quality was definitely a step up from Arena models, but not really premium. The robust chassis and safety were the real value.
Is the S Cross a premium NEXA experience or that of a Maruti overpriced?
31 December 2024 09:20
It does look and feel more premium than regular Marutis though, and I say this coming from someone who owns an S Cross, it just feels more premium in terms of NVH levels and ride quality. It's not luxury car territory, though.
Is the S Cross a premium NEXA experience or that of a Maruti overpriced?

The product itself was not the premium, it was in the buying and service experience. The NEXA dealerships are definitely a notch above the regular Maruti dealerships.

31 December 2024 09:20
Face it, this was Maruti's first attempt at 'premium' and that was clear. Subsequently, later NEXA products such as Baleno and Ignis came across as more cohesively upmarket.

Performance wise, the 1.6 diesel variant was truly premium. Maruti chickened out and watered down the lineup with weaker engines later.
What will be the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV’s weight distribution and center of gravity versus the petrol version and how will that affect its off road performance?
31 December 2024 09:14
The battery pack will also help to make it even more stable on side slopes due to the lower center of gravity. It's a win for off-roading!
What will be the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV’s weight distribution and center of gravity versus the petrol version and how will that affect its off road performance?

That extra weight is going to make it sink in mud and sand. Key to the petrol version's off road prowess is its lightweight nature.
What will be the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV’s weight distribution and center of gravity versus the petrol version and how will that affect its off road performance?

They could have evenly distributed the batteries for perfect 50/50 weight distribution. On technical trails how balanced would that be!

Any weight gain will be more than made up for with the instant torque from the electric motors. It’ll get itself out of anything.
