The 2017 Maruti S-Cross’ mini brochure has leaked
online, courtesy Team-BHP. The facelifted model is now available to booking
online and at all NEXA dealerships across country.
On the outside, the facelift brings LED projector headlamps
with LED daytime running lights, a new chrome grille with vertical slats,
16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels and LED rear combination lamps. A new ‘Nexa
Blue’ colour has replaced the Urban Blue colour. Inside, the Smartplay
touchscreen infotainment system has Android Auto compatibility right from the
get-go.
The 2017 Maruti S-Cross is available in Sigma,
Delta, Zeta and Alpha grades. The base grade has features like keyless entry,
chrome finish AC vents, silver interior finish, all 4 disc brakes, ABS with
EBD, dual-front airbags and ISOFIX child seat anchorages. The Delta grade adds
black roof rails, full wheel caps, front footwell and glove box illumination,
reverse parking sensors, audio player with Bluetooth connectivity and remote
control, steering mounted audio & calling controls, sliding front armrest
with storage and driver footrest.
The Zeta grade features front fog lamps, 16-inch
diamond cut alloy wheels, electrically folding ORVMs with integrated turn
indicators, reverse parking camera, engine push start/stop, cruise control,
automatic climate control, rear centre armrest with cup holders, height
adjustable driver’s seat, reclining rear seats and Smartplay infotainment

lamps, leather seat upholstery, leather wrapped steering wheel and door armrest
with leather finish. It has auto dimming interior mirror too.
The Maruti Suzuki has
discontinued the 1.6-litre DDiS 320 diesel engine. The 1.3-litre DDiS 200
diesel engine producing 88 hp at 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at
1,750 rpm continues as before. The company has, however, made the crossover
more efficient by employing Smart Hybrid (mild-hybrid) technology. The S-Cross
now features engine auto stop-start, torque assist and brake energy
regeneration. The new model has gearshift indicator too. The fuel economy has
reportedly increased from 23.65 km/l to 25.1 km/l.
The 2017 Maruti S-Cross should go on sale in India
in October, following its unveil tomorrow.
