It is no secret that Suzuki has been working on introducing the new generation S-Cross and Vitara in the global markets. The S-Cross, in particular, will make its world premiere on November 25, 2021, and it will be subjected to a host of changes inside and out. Expected to be based on a new architecture, the Japanese manufacturer released a teaser for the upcoming crossover a couple of days ago and it has now been leaked showcasing the brand new design.
The teaser image showed the redesigned tri-beam full LED headlamp and it could be clearly seen on the leaked image. It has ditched the matured front fascia in favour of a sportier and upright appeal. The deeper grille section has black inserts with a chrome strip connecting the sleeker headlamps and a Suzuki badge sits in the middle.
The restyled front bumper comprises new fog lamp housing and lighting elements with a central air intake and faux skid plate. The overall proportions look larger and a thick black body cladding running along the sides is instantly noticeable. Other highlights are the new bonnet structure, newly designed wheels, raked front windshield, wider front track, and a slightly rearward sloping roofline.
We do expect the new generation S-Cross to arrive in India sometime next year. The 2022 Suzuki S-Cross could measure around 4.2 metres in overall length and it will be pitched against midsize SUV rivals. Besides a thorough overhaul in design, the 2022 S-Cross could get a revamped interior as well with the use of more premium materials, a larger touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, steering wheel with mounted controls, an improved instrument cluster, and a host of driver-assistive and safety features.
The upcoming S-Cross could get radar-based functions as well including AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking), adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, cross-traffic alert, and so on. As for the performance, the crossover could derive power from a 1.5-litre petrol engine with 48 V mild-hybrid technology. It could be paired with a five-speed manual or a torque converter auto.
Just a few days ago, MSIL launched the second generation Celerio in India and the facelifted Baleno premium hatchback was also spotted undisguised recently. A slew of updated models is in the pipeline as early as next year. The Jimny could debut in 2022 to rival Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha in the lifestyle off-roading SUV segment.
A midsize SUV is also in the works in partnership with Toyota and it could be based on the latter’s DNGA platform – a low-cost derivative of the widely used TNGA platform.
