I think it's more complex. It didn’t really fit anywhere – it was too big to be a premium hatch and too small to be a proper SUV. Compact SUVs became the preferred choice of market.

The S-Cross may have been eating into sales of other NEXA models like the Ciaz. Perhaps Maruti was looking to simplify their premium line up.

Sales were hurt by the lack of a petrol option for most of its lifecycle. When they launched the 1.5L petrol it was already too late.

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?

Total gimmick. I hardly saw any difference in fuel economy versus the non hybrid version.

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?

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.
