Inovev forecasts 30,000 units per year of the new Suzuki S-Cross
- Suzuki has just unveiled the new generation of its S-Cross SUV, the current generation launched in 2013 replaced the SX4 developed in partnership with Fiat. The new S-Cross is getting a bit bigger with a length of 4.30 m, a width of 1.79 m and a height of 1.58 m. Its styling is more massive than before and 48V Mild Hybridization (MHEV) is maintained, but a full hybrid (HEV) version is scheduled for next year. This hybrid version comes from Toyota, a Suzuki partner for several years.
- The renewal of the S-Cross seeks to better differentiate this model from the Vitara. The S-Cross is indeed closer to the dimensions of a Toyota CHR (4.36 m) than a Vitara (4.17 m). This means that Suzuki intends to reposition its model on the C-segment, because the carmaker is already present in the B-segment with the Vitara. It is to remind that the Suzuki model positioned above the S-Cross in the lineupis the Across (D-segment) a rebranded Toyota RAV4 whose length reaches 4.64 m.
- The new Suzuki S-Cross is equipped with the 1.4 liter turbo petrol engine with 129 hp already mounted on the previous generation. The model is still marketed in two-wheels drive (front-wheel drive) or four-wheels drive.
- Its assembly is still made at the Hungarian plant of Esztergom (Inovev forecasts 30,000 annual units, against less than 20,000 in 2021 for the previous generation) but it is possible that it will be produced later in India for the local demand.
