Also, if you can tell, how much you paid in total to get it delivered in India?

Apologies for the very delayed response. Been away for a a while.
I paid $105 USD (including $20 shipping) to get it in India. Had ordered in June 2022.
Yes, I do face screen freeze sometimes. It usually goes away after turning off the ignition and turning it on back. Its an irritation, but I never thought of checking with service centre guys. Will do so in my next service.

Today, in the cold winter day of Delhi, I stepped out of the house to go for a quick drive on my 2.5 years old S-cross. When I pressed the unlock button on the key, the car refused to respond. I thought the key battery had died, so opened the gate with physical key but then the engine refused to crank too.

I soon realised that the battery in my car has died and that too a little early in its life (it had replacement warranty of 2 years, and current age was 2.5 years).

Is it normal for a ISS (idling stop start) battery to die so soon, as my earlier experience in Swift diesel was ~4 years average life for the battery with similar usage.



Have now bought a Exide Mileage battery from nearby shop for Rs. 5,000 approx (with exchange).



But I am little disappointed with such early retirement of the engine battery, as the mammoth of the hybrid battery sitting under the passenger seat will make a huge dent in the pocket if it demands similar early replacement

I went in today for 3rd PMS of my S-cross in nearby Nexa workshop and came to know from one of the employees that Maruti is planning to release a strong hybrid SX4-SCross based vehicle by end of this year. It will be sold only through Arena showrooms.p and will be placed below Grand Vitara in lineup.
