Only recently, we reported that the petrol variant of the Maruti S-Cross crossover would launch early next year with a starting price of Rs 7.5 lakh. Our reliable sources inform us that the Maruti S-Cross petrol will be the most fuel-efficient petrol-powered UV in India with an ARAI-tested mileage of more than 18 kmpl.
Powering the Maruti S-Cross petrol will be the same 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that has just made its debut on the Ciaz facelift. This engine produces a maximum power of 105 PS and a peak torque of 138 Nm, which is much more than the 94 PS and 130 Nm that was offered by the 1.4-litre engine it has replaced. Like the Ciaz facelift, the Maruti S-Cross petrol will have an SHVS mild-hybrid system.
With a claimed mileage of more than 19 kmpl, the S-Cross will become the most fuel-efficient UV in the country. The premium crossover from Maruti was first launched in 2015. Initially, it came with two engine options – 1.3-litre diesel and 1.6-litre diesel. The bigger motor was discontinued with the launch of the facelift.
The new 1.5-litre petrol engine will soon become the second engine option for the buyers of this crossover. The Maruti S-Cross petrol will look exactly like the diesel version. Being a NEXA model, it won’t even get telltale badges. The petrol engine will be available with two transmission options – 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic.
The 1.3-litre diesel engine will remain unchanged. The VGT-equipped engine offers 90 PS and 200 Nm. It comes mated to a five-speed manual transmission. In a few months from now, Maruti will completely stop using the Fiat-sourced engine. All its diesel models, including the S-Cross, will get an ingeniously developed 1.5-litre motor that will be BS6-compliant.
We’ve been told by people working close to this project that the Maruti S-Cross facelift would have a starting price of Rs 7.5 lakh. The top-end model will cost Rs 9.99 lakh. Current, the S-Cross range starts at Rs 8.62 lakh. The fully loaded version costs Rs 11.34 lakh. Maruti Suzuki recently updated the features list of its crossover with a higher safety equipment.
All Maruti S-Cross variants get a Speed Alert Warning system that emits two beeps every sixty seconds at speeds of more than 80 kmph. At speeds higher than 120 kmph, the beep emits continuously. There’s also a seatbelt reminder for the front passenger. Furthermore, you get a Rear Parking Assist System on all the variants. The new safety features will be available even on the Maruti S-Cross Petrol.
