I feel it’s because of the partnership between Maruti and Toyota. In that segment, they may be planning to replace it with a rebadged Toyota model.

Safety wise, the S-Cross was ahead of its time. Back then, the market wasn’t ready to pay a premium for safety features.
Was the S-Cross hybrid system really useful, or simply a gimmick?

It’s not huge, but it does help in stop and go traffic. It’s smoother than most non-hybrid cars.

The real benefit is not in fuel savings but in emissions reduction. Even if it's a small step towards electrification.

I found that it was useful for the torque assist during initial acceleration. It makes the car feel peppier when driving in the city.

It’s not a game changer, but it’s another small step. A 5-10% improvement in efficiency over time adds up.

It simply doesn’t make a big enough difference. You see real benefits with full hybrids or plug in hybrids.

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.

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?

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.
