The S-Cross would be equipped with several premium features such as projector headlights with LED daytime running lights, alloy wheels, power folding wing mirrors, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, rear AC vents, and Maruti’s SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system. The crossover would be highly spacious as even with all seats in place, it would have a boot space of 430 litres. The production has already started at company’s Manesar plant.

As for engines, the Maruti S-Cross would be powered by the Fiat-sourced 1.6-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine which would produce 118bhp of maximum power and 320Nm of peak torque.

Maruti S-Cross would be the first vehicle in India to use this engine. The engine would be coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. However, it would be offered with the top-end variants only.

Maruti S-Cross would also be available with Fiat’s 1.3-litre, four-cylinder Multi-jet engine with a five-speed manual transmission. The S-Cross would be sold through Maruti’s new premium range of dealerships NEXA, along side the Maruti Ciaz.
