Maruti Suzuki slashes price of the S-Cross by INR 2 lakh    

In an attempt to lure prospective buyers, Maruti Suzuki today announced that they have decided to cut the prices of the S-Cross in India. The price cut, which is upto INR 2 lakhs depending on the variant, is being offered with the sole purpose of attracting more customers.

Earlier, we were told, the dealers would belt out upto INR 5 lakh as discount to customer who were looking to purchase the S-Cross. Unlike most of the cars from Maruti’s stable, the S-Cross has not been a success with its customers. The odd ball styling and the high price deterred a lot of people from choosing the S-Cross.

The S-Cross comes with two of engine options staring from a 1.3 litre, 89 BHP & 200 Nm diesel motor (DDiS 200) with 5-speed manual gearbox and a 1.6 litre, 118 BHP & 320 Nm diesel motor (DDiS 320) with 6-speed manual gearbox. Both these engines power only the two front wheels.

Now with the price cut, dealers can expect the better movement of the vehicle. The discounts range from INR 55,000 for the base models and go upto INR 2 lakh for the top spec models approximately.
