| ![]() Mod Note: Our Maruti S-Cross 1.5L Petrol Review has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks! According to a media report, Maruti Suzuki is likely to introduce the 1.5-litre petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology in the S-Cross. ![]() The S-Cross is expected to be offered with the same K15B petrol engine that powers the Ciaz and Ertiga. The 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder unit produces 103 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm @ 4,400 rpm. It comes with Maruti's mild hybrid technology called Smart Hybrid and a dual battery setup. It is likely to be paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and could also get a 4-speed automatic as an option. At present, the S-Cross is only available with a 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine with mild hybrid technology. It produces 89 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque @ 1,750 rpm. It uses a 5-speed manual transmission that drives the front wheels. Source: Autocar India Link to Team-BHP News Last edited by Aditya : 25th August 2020 at 10:15. Reason: Adding link to review |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() A much anticipated good news! Barring the 1.5 L Dragon engine in the Ecosport, we do not have a good all-rounder petrol crossover. The Creta petrol and Duster petrol are not very fuel efficient whereas the rest of the competition is still stuck with the 1.2 L engines. Being a smart hybrid with a dual battery setup, am sure it will get a very good low end with the fun of revving a petrol. The current S-Cross weighs around 1200 kg, so this being a petrol we can expect the car to be lighter. A reduced kerb weight with more power is always a welcome change! ![]() While all manufactures's are going for smaller turbo engine's, Maruti has chosen the conservative path of 'there is no replacement for displacement'! I actually love bigger naturally aspirated engines over the smaller turbo engines. These engines are much more tractable and one do not have to depend on the turbo zone to have fun. The rev band is much more usable. This 1.5L petrol in the Brezza and S-Cross will definitely give sleepless nights to the competitors. Maruti had two weak points- 1) The absence of a petrol in their crossovers. 2) The 1.3 L diesel was too old when compared to the modern diesels. So both have been taken care off! ![]() Last edited by Samba : 27th April 2019 at 00:01. |

| ![]() Another weak point of Maruti - They are still using 4 speed torque converter for automatics, whereas the competition has grown up with so many options. The least Maruti could do is offer at least a 6 speed torque converter, if not a CVT or DCT. There will be more buyers for automatic variants, who are looking for mileage.

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() This is among the best cars that Maruti builds, but it's let down by the engines (how I miss that beautiful 1.6L diesel). The 1.3L diesel is too small for this car, and the 1.5L petrol - though better than the old 1.4L - still isn't a match to Honda's 1.5L Vtec or Hyundai's 1.6L petrol. Still, if I was shopping for an S-Cross, I'd pick the 1.5L over the 1.3L diesel. It's clearly the superior and has a very good bottom-end too, making it practical for daily driving. Agreed. Tiny Suzuki simply didn't have the spare funds for such investments. Maybe they should just pick an AT from the Toyota parts bin now? |

Why Maruti is still using 4 speed TC in India is beyond me. Regards, Shashi PS: Checkout the specifications section. 6speed AT and 6 Speed TCSS are listed. https://www.globalsuzuki.com/automob...oss/index.html https://www.glynhopkin.com/suzuki/ne...ss-and-vitara/ Last edited by Leoshashi : 29th April 2019 at 10:01.

| ![]() Any updates on if and when the S-cross petrol is being launched? I am looking to replace my Swift and this could come in handy. If they have a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic, it is a no brainer |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() NEXA and Arena Sales executives confirmed that launch will be in February, and deliveries will begin around February end. As of now booking isn't open officially but they are taking bookings against the old variant which will automatically be converted to Petrol BS6. They are informing the customers in advance. January will see the last lot of BS4 models coming for Brezza/S Cross. Both have their sales training lined up, followed by service training of both the channels. Regards, Shashi |

So what if that breaks the exclusive-to-Vitara proposition, they're used to running over half a dozen cars on the same engine! | |

Infractions: 0/1 (7) | ![]() Source: https://gaadiwaadi.com/maruti-s-cros...uto-expo-2020/ "Maruti S-Cross Diesel Discontinued, Petrol To Debut At Auto Expo 2020". "Multijet motor has been now axed owing to its inability to meet with the upcoming BSVI emission norms. Moreover, with the popularity of the diesel engines on a decline in the lower segments, it makes incredible sense for the company to plonk a petrol mill into the engine bay of its crossover. So, with this, the 2020 Maruti S-Cross will be seen kitted out with the 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that also powers the Ciaz and the Ertiga." |
