Maruti has sadly ditched the 1.6-litre diesel (120PS/320Nm, 6-speed manual) engine in favour of the relatively underpowered 1.3-litre motor. The Fiat-borrowed 1.3-litre diesel now gets Suzuki’s SHVS mild hybrid tech, same as the Ciaz and the Ertiga, which comes with engine start-stop system, brake energy regeneration and unnoticeable torque assist function. There’s no word on the petrol version of the S-Cross, despite the fact that the Euro-spec facelift saw the debut of the Boosterjet series 1.0-litre/ 1.4-litre turbo petrols.
