Was the S-Cross hybrid system really useful, or simply a gimmick?

As a hybrid S-Cross owner, I love the system. Not revolutionary but it does smooth out the driving experience.
Did Maruti miss a trick by not offering the S-Cross with AWD?
31 December 2024 09:20
Absolutely. The S-Cross would have had a unique selling point in its segment, thanks to AWD. Missed opportunity.

No, AWD is excess for Indian roads. It just would have added cost and made the vehicle less fuel efficient.

I think that it might have otherwise been a niche offering. Not for volume sales but in order to put the S-Cross in a more serious SUV contender perspective.

No one knows the Indian market better than Maruti. If they didn't offer AWD, then their research told them no one was demanding it.

It could have had an AWD option to better go against the likes of Renault Duster AWD. It could have found a loyal niche audience.

Face it, most Indian 'SUV' buyers just want the high seating position and macho looks. They don't give a damn about actual off road capability.

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?
31 December 2024 09:20
Definitely ahead of its time. And if it were launched today, it would sit comfortably alongside the premium crossover trend.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
I don't think so. It was just poorly marketed. Back then, Maruti didn’t know how to sell a premium product.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
It was a good concept, but poorly executed. The market couldn’t afford the 1.6 diesel, which was the initial.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
Safety and build quality were a bit ahead of their time. These aspects are just now being valued by the market.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
The S-Cross was left stranded in no man's land, not an SUV enough for SUV buyers, too expensive for hatchback upgraders.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
Maruti didn't evolve it to keep up with changing market trends, I'd say it was right for its time.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
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?
31 December 2024 09:20
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.
Is the S Cross a premium NEXA experience or that of a Maruti overpriced?
31 December 2024 09:20
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?
31 December 2024 09:20
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.
