You Can Now Pre-Book The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Petrol For Just Rs 11,000

• The S-Cross is now powered by a 105PS 1.5-litre petrol engine coupled with mild hybrid tech.

• It receives an update in the form of a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Bookings for the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross petrol have begun ahead of its launch in India on August 5. Bookings can be made at either a NEXA dealership or its website for a token amount of Rs 11,000.

This is the first time in India that the S-Cross is being offered with a petrol engine. Powered by the K-Series 105PS 1.5-litre petrol unit, it also features Maruti Suzuki’s mild-hybrid technology. Another first for the Indian S-Cross is the option of an automatic transmission, specifically a 4-speed torque converter, along with the standard 5-speed manual.

In terms of features, the only significant upgrade is the new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The rest of the prominent features are expected to remain unchanged. These include cruise control, LED headlights, keyless entry with push button start, and climate control. On the design front, the S-Cross will remain largely unchanged.
