SUZUKI S-CROSS

We reckon the likes of a reversing camera shouldn’t be an optional extra, so it isn't. All S-Cross models come with a reversing camera as standard, with the Ultra grade boasting an additional 360 view camera. Pretty neat, right?

Don't worry, we get this one a lot.

The S-Cross comes in two types of hybrid variants - Mild or Full. Both achieving impressive fuel efficiency and low CO₂ emissions output. Mild Hybrid models are paired with manual transmission and Full Hybrid models are paired with automatic transmission.

Mild Hybrid models provide battery assistance via a small electric motor that supports the 1.4-litre Boosterjet engine when its under strain, here are a few examples:

• Engine Auto Stop - When the car stops (like at traffic lights), the engine turns off and the battery powers things like lights and radio, helping save fuel.
• Restart - The Mild Hybrid system quietly and smoothly restarts the engine when needed.
• Take-off/Acceleration - The system helps the engine when starting or accelerating, which improves fuel efficiency.
• Deceleration - When slowing down, the system captures electrical energy and uses it to efficiently charge the battery.
• Torque Boost - It adds extra power from the electric motor to make acceleration smoother until turbocharging kicks in.
• Electric Motor Idling - When slowing down and the clutch is disengaged, the electric motor keeps the engine idling without using fuel.

Full Hybrid powertrains provide dual power, switching between a 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor or using a combination of both to drive the wheels. You can see this come into action during:

• Starting from a Stop - When you let go of the brake, the car starts creeping forward using the electric motor. The engine only turns on if you press the accelerator hard enough.
• Acceleration - In standard mode, the electric motor helps the engine for smooth and strong acceleration. Whilst in Eco Mode, acceleration is gentler to save fuel.
• Gear Shifting - During automatic gear changes, the electric motor keeps the power smooth so there’s no jerky movement.
• Low to Medium Speeds - When cruising at up to about 50 mph, the petrol engine disengages and the car is able to run on electric power to save fuel.
• Cruising - At steady speeds, and when fuel consumption is low, the hybrid system uses the engine's power to charge the battery while driving as usual.
• Strong Acceleration - When you press the pedal hard (like on hills or highway merging), the electric motor adds extra torque to help the engine.

Thanks to handy hybrid tech, S-Cross Full Hybrid 2WD models achieve 55.3mpg (WLTP combined).

No, the Suzuki S-Cross is bigger than the Vitara. So if you're sizing up between them both, the S-Cross is longer and wider than the Vitara, whilst the Vitara is slightly taller. In all reality, the difference is minimal, but you will feel the benefit of a bigger boot with the S-Cross with up to 430l in the Mild Hybrid model.
