With Suzuki having unveiled the facelifted S-Cross during an event in Hungary in early July, UK customers had to wait until now to find out which version may be right for them.
The crossover will hit UK shores on the 17th of October, when it will be available with either 1.0-liter or 1.4-liter Boosterjet petrol engines, or a 1.6-liter DDiS engine with class leading emissions and low fuel consumption.
After the facelift, the S-Cross’ ground clearance grew from 165 mm to 180 mm, with the previously mentioned CO2 & MPG figures sitting at 106g/km and 68.8 mpg (4.1l/100km) respectively – for the 1.6-liter diesel.
Buying into the range means going for the £14,999 SZ4 version which comes with the three cylinder 1.0-liter unit and a manual transmission. The SZ4 as well as the higher-spec SZ-t and SZ5 grades are equipped with seven airbags and ESP as standard.
The entry-level SZ4 models also feature Bluetooth, DAB digital radio, air conditioning, Daytime Running Lights, 16″ alloys, cruise control with speed limited, heated door mirrors, black protective skid plates and black wheel arch extensions. The SZ-T adds LED projector headlamps, sat-nav, 17″ alloys, rear parking camera, front & rear parking sensors, dual zone climate control, front fog lamps, rear privacy glass, silver roof rails and silver skid plates.
Those leaning towards the flagship SZ5 version will enjoy features such as Radar Brake Support, leather seat upholstery, heated front seats, a double sliding panoramic sunroof and aluminum roof rails. Suzuki’s renowned four wheel drive tech, or ALLGRIP, is however only available on SZ-T and SZ5 models.
In terms of performance, we’re looking power and torque ratings of 140 PS and 220 Nm (162 lb-ft) for the 1.4-liter Boosterjet unit, 111 PS and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft) for the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder unit and 120 PS and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) for the 1.6-liter diesel.
Suzuki is also expected to bring the facelifted S-Cross to this year’s Paris Auto Show.
