Need advice: Should I buy the S-Cross AT or wait for the new Brezza

As I don't like changing things, I would keep this car easily for 10 years atleast so I am confused if I should wait for the new Brezza.

BHPian Snowflakes recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hello BHPians,

I need your valuable inputs in buying our first car (automatic).

At the start of this year we had shortlisted the Ecosport & Polo as one of our next cars, but then the rumours of ford shutting shop started and we put our purchase on hold. Then we started looking at the Polo but could not get hold of one before it was discontinued.

I haven't considered Kia or Hyundai cars for there safety aspects. Decided not to go for the XUV300 & Nexon as they are AMTs and their ASS is a hit or a miss.

Now I have narrowed down the search to the S-Cross Zeta version. I know lot of people have mentioned it's a 4 speed AT but after reading multiple reviews here I felt it should suffice my needs. In a year I may travel around 10k kms. Now with this news coming out should I go ahead with this booking as nearby Nexa dealer has promised a delivery within next 6 weeks or should I drop this car as it's reaching it's end of life. As I don't like changing things, I would keep this car easily for 10 years atleast so I am confused if I should wait for the new Brezza. The reason for not pursuing the Brezza is the wait times would be atleast 4-6 months at the time of launch.

So, need your advice on whether I should go ahead with this purchase or look for which other cars.

Here's what BHPian amol4184 had to say on the matter:

  • IMO, we are at a pivotal point in the life of S-Cross and waiting out all upcoming launches by Maruti would be wiser because:
  • MS will probably launch the next gen S-Cross which looks like an entirely new (and better looking) car compared to current one.

You are going to hang on to the car for 10 years which is a long time. I personally would not want to get stuck with last of the generation old product that does not have anything exceptional going on for it. I mean its not a bad car but its not iconic in the way the VW Polo is/was.
