Q. Is the new s cross under powered for hill driving.. - S-Cross?

If it is the new s cross petrol,yes it's under powered,it's a heavy vehicle with less torque(138Nm),the higer gear works fine.The best scross model was the first one1.6 engine with 320Nm torque,scross is still a good car,but frequent gear shift is needed,this I find it tiring

It depends upon the driving, often changing gears, feel like pickup is laging, but in other way, when you drive at a constant speed on Highways, you will not feel the difference.
