@PowerDrift Waiting for your THAR review

Waiting for the Thar review guys!!!!

Nope, fall flat. With KIA Sonet entering in this segment, I feel hardly S cross will have any chance..Still brand loyals will go for S cross..

Those are some seriously kind words, Dheeraj. Thank you!

Yep. Absolutely. Thanks for the watch, Venkat!

Thank you, Parth! And yes, you do make a lot of valid points. Hope Maruti's listening

Hey Super Saiyan! That's so awesome to hear. Thank you! :)

Now that would be a fun review!

Haha! Might be fun video! We shall surely try, comrade.

@@powerdriftofficial hey.. is this the real raunak ajinkya replying or some other guy with same name and DP playing

@@raunakajinkya90 wowww... You own a kizashi. That's like that 1 shining gem of a car for erstwhile top manufacturer An almost perfect car.

@@veerajpv9710 Existential crisis

Thank you for the compliment! I'll take it :) As for the video, yes, it could have been a bit more detailed, but honestly there wasn't that much to dive into with this update. Made more sense to keep it short and only talk about the relevant bits

Hey, we're glad you liked the video, Revyaanshu. We hope you gave it a Like!

Thanks for that Revyanshu!

Raunak Ajinkya same 🙈

Thanks Ashish. That's what we were going for with this video, yep. Agree with what you've said

Tons of mistakes in your judgment. This car has a torque converter 4 speed. It gives decent mileage and the gears are longer(as is the case with 4 speed torq converters). Is it quick?nope. But it's nothing like the 4 speed in your old santro. Next, "tinCaN" the previous gen scross (called SX4) sold outside(which is identical to the one sold here) has a euroncap rating of 5 stars, this new model has a 5 stars Asean ncap rating. It's definitely not unsafe like the usual

​@@pranavp386 well you cannot compare a DSG with torque converter. 4 gears seriously?? Maruti needs to up their game. I have driven the XL6 with same gear box which was sluggish and very noisy. I would any day prefer a dual clutch system. however agree to the point on safety. its not about the metal sheet on the outer side which people keep naming it "TIN-CAN" safety is all about the structural rigidity and the chassis is very strong. In fact maruti qualifies for pedestrian safety norms where a person or animal will not die when knocked down. a safety norm. Also as an owner of both maruti and volkswagen. it's surprising to see maruti billing me more for service than VW. yes Maruti has more service points but the service quality is very bad. The car will come out of workshop with more problems post service. I think TATA these days is doing amazing job like NEXON. would prefer that over S-cross.

@ Ashish There are many who also put value to peace of mind, predictability and reliability. Assurance or service and spares is pretty important for long term ownership,which most Maruti buyers are. Besides one has to also know what one wants. Do I want a host of electronic gimmicks that may not really be needed and be potential niggles for the future. Do i need a dual clutch transmission that over heats in city traffic and will put my vehicle into limp mode or is so complex that proven long term reliability is still a major problem. Do I need a Turbo-petrol where turbo lag is a pain in normal city driving or gives terrible fuel efficiency in crowded urban driving circles. Do I need a BS6 diesel engine with complex DPFs or additional ad Blue requirements when my running is not all that high. Is a natural aspirated petrol engine with its linear power delivery and proven reliability better for my practical needs. Is the number of gears in TC important or how ell it is actually integrated in the drive train that matters. Scross has decent safety ratings, yes it could do with ESP, more air bags, better instrument cluster and updated auto box. But as a cross over( NOT CSUV) it still is a very good and sensible vehicle to own. But yes, I will agree with you that Maruti should not take their customer loyalty for granted

The gripe I have with Tata is that they have 0 experience designing and engineering engines and other drivetrain components. Combine that with their very small market share and a history of really bad cars it will take a lot of time before they can gain some trust. Suzuki's have been running all over the world reliably for over half a decade and are known to be as dependable as a Toyota. They are very barebones but that's also why they have cockroach reliability and at the end of the day, that's what matters.

Shumi can review cars, but doesn't mean he will! ;)

Hey, why stop there! Let's make him review errything!

@@raunakajinkya90 @PowerDrift Make Shumi review biking gear. Also the video seemed to end quite abruptly, didn't conclude well this time.

@@powerdriftofficial actually shumi suits up cool on Bikes.. We are used to it

@@raunakajinkya90 woooooaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Thanks Sourabh!

Haha, TenHut's presentation is second to none, honestly. But I appreciate the feedback. Will keep it in mind :)

Thanks Deepu. Don't worry, they're coming :)

They offered, but we wanted to do a more in-depth review. Don't worry. Coming soon on PowerDrift :)

@@raunakajinkya90 ok!

Sorry for the wait. We'll be on it soon :)

Coming soon, Ashish

Soon!

We do have the Tata Nexon EV review on the channel, give that a watch and tell us what you think about it.

We were running short on time, but will try to give you a proper look next time!

Quick first drives always leave us short of breath in the hustle to get all the shots we can manage in the limited time given to us but be rest assured that the interior looks and feels just the same as before and that’s not a bad thing at all since the S-Cross always has better quality interiors than other Maruti-Suzuki’s offerings.

Thanks Pratik! And yeah we were on a bit of a time crunch, so we tried to cover only the relevant bits. The interiors are all the same, and there are a couple of snapshots of it in the video near the end

Thanks Mandar!

Thanks Mandar!

Glad you liked it Arun!

It’s pretty hard to impress Baldy McBalderlust with supercars let alone regular ones. The S-Cross is still pretty likeable though, Maruti-Suzuki definitely needs a new automatic gearbox for sure.

Which Merc are you referring to Adi?

@@powerdriftofficial s-class 😅

Thanks Anush! Glad you liked it :)

Thanks you Anushandhan and did you know Raunak signs his name as Raunak Sarcastic AF Ajinkya. 😁

Thanks so much Anushandhan!

Lol @Abhik

Thanks, and don't worry. It's on its way

after reading your comment.. I remembered a dialogue from Lagaan.. Ee Sasura Achoot aur hamare saath..na bhuvan na..

Those were diesel motors. This one's a petrol. Very different behaviour.

That's coming soon, Bhaumik!

@@powerdriftofficial I have a feeling that it will worth the wait 😇....half work is already done by Mahindra, another half is yet to be done by you guys 😜

Haha, and here it is :)

@@raunakajinkya90 how are you?

Did you end up buying that S-Cross?

For sure, that 1.6-litre diesel was a stonker albeit the massive turbo-lag and I too wish it got more power as the car progresses with updates in our market. Thankfully, the quality levels have been retained.

@@powerdriftofficial No...Wish I had more money at that time....

@@abhikdas5518 Yes...but as mentioned by Raunak, with time the dashboard could have gone for a makeover. And me, like many other enthusiasts, is somewhat disappointed with MS's decisions with this car.

@@sutsarnox frankly, the whole car could use a redesign since the size can liberate more space and it can make for larger car.

Both are nice cars! Do check out our videos on these cars. Might help you : Venue: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJOHftaclZPNqKs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8Vhndaisq-VgWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd-Xlcliu7DUYIk.html Sonet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7tngrN-0dqvlHk.html

Great options. The Sonet looks like it'll be killer

Thanks :)

Coming soon mate :)

The Thar deserves a proper video, and not one made out of a quick spin. So, stay tuned!

Well, as long as it works :D

Jeez, tell me about it man. It sure works but even a 5-speed would not only make the engine more frugal that it is, it’ll also be be able to sprint harder than the lethargic pace that the 4-speed manages.

Where do you see 10 speed automatics on a 10L car? 4 speed Torque converters work fine for most applications. It's certainly no enthusiasts gearbox. But it's going to be very durable under bumper to bumper traffic(unlike DCT/AMT) and is going to respond better than a CVT. As long as the ratios are fine, the gearbox will work fine.

@@pranavp386 yes! I second that about the price range. Everything is fine, but comparitively the ease and tractability is a bit dud at higher speeds and hence the ideal cruising speed is compromised.

Definitely haven't forgotten it. Coming soon!

I agree. Maruti could've done so much more with the S-Cross

They tried to bring in the 1.6 ddis...but you know..indian car market shat on them...just like the kizashi,grand vitara and the sx-4..

@@pranavp386 its different now.. the market.. this could have been their chance to get things moving in the right direction but..

@@pranavp386 actually we have a kizashi in our family.. it's epic..!!

Thanks Nagarjun! And yes, this seemed very unlike Maruti. They're usually so on point with their launches

Seems like you have been waiting a long time! ;)

@@powerdriftofficial Well Ofcourse

And also because we have the power of the #PDArmy with us! :D

PowerDrift yayy..!!❤️

Thanks Khaja! Appreciate it!

Raunak Ajinkya big Fan of PowerDrift sir..!❤️❤️

PowerDrift : in future if you guys are hiring anyone..! Then please do take me sir. Big fan please..!💞

We do have some plans, just waiting on the media car.

Motoroctane also

This is what happens when there's an embargo set by the manufacturer! All major publications will release their videos at the same time. This is not the first time it has happened.

Haha gawar sala

Hey thank you! Did you give it a Like and Share? Makes the folks in the team happy!

@@powerdriftofficial bro I've been doing it since you guys started making videos

Thanks for the feedback Sumit, will take caution :)

@@powerdriftofficial wow thanks 😃😋

The Thar deserves a proper video, and not one made out of a quick spin. So, stay tuned!

@@powerdriftofficial cheers! Thanks :)

Because of its price and body type, it would be up against the likes of the Venue, Sonet, Duster, Nexon, EcoSport

Gonna happen soon! Stay tuned!

Oh yeah! Let’s get this rolling, PD x Thar is what we’re waiting for.

Can’t wait to drive the Thar!

That’s monsieur Ajinkya for you.

Thanks Saurabh!

The Thar deserves a proper video, and not one made out of a quick spin. Do stay tuned!

That doesn't count! :P

It's a collective team effort. Why?

Raunak Ajinkya cuz you guys nail it everytimmmmeee!!!!!!!!! ❤️

@@irfanlaskar6868 Haha, thanks! :)

Stay tuned, Prahlad! :D

@@powerdriftofficial It better be one heck of a review. I'm daily checking on this channel since 15th.

And thank you for the watch!

This pandemic has been rough

Haha! We shall try! :P

The S-Cross is bigger and more spacious. It’s unfair to compare it to compact SUVs :)
