The S-Cross has become a bit of a forgotten model in the SUV market but now there's a new one. But is it any more memorable? I've spent the last week with one to find out - the model tested here is the mid-range SZ-T model fitted with Suzuki 1.0 litre Boosterjet engine.
How does this engine perform in a car of this size? Watch the review to find out.

Reviewer is good to watch. Easy voice to listen to, all nice and calm and informative. Music was relaxing also. As for this car, I think its a very good car for the money. You dont see many about so thats appealing, and Suzukis are built to last. Id rather drive something less common like this, instead of the usual suspects and would also say if you want a car to last a long time, you cant really go wrong with this brand if you dont have tons of money to spend. No point keep trading in every 3 years either, especially if you dont do a lot of miles, its pointless to keep throwing your money away. I think a lot of people panic when a car gets out of warranty, they think it will suddenly turn into a car made by British Leyland ! Once its paid for, you save a fortune, and Suzuki are one of the best for reliability.

Hello Ernie, thank you so much for the positive feedback, I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, it's not very often you see an S-Cross on the roads; I think the styling and lack of strong marketing could be a factor. Thanks for watching.

Suzuki cars are very durable and economic , small engines are constructed to operate at high revs and constant load (such as a motorcycle engine)! Suzuki AWD is very good .This new model has a beautiful design! BOOSTERJET 1.4L / ALLGRIP seem to be very good ! I've had many years ago the Suzuki car. The seats were very comfortable as well ( I'm about 180 cm tall.)! I use Google translate ! 1.4L BOOSTERJET Maximum torque Nm / rpm : 220 / 1,500-4,000 Compression ratio : 9.9 Maximum output kW / rpm : 103 / 5,500 Bore x stroke : 73.0 x 82.0 This Suzuki 1.4L BOOSTERJET also drives the car at lower engine revs very well! Thanks to the long piston stroke and low pressure turbo and maximum torque at lower revs and wide rev range !the engine has to last long, thanks to the engine Compression ratio 9.9 .

Hello g0mhc, thanks for watching. Yes, I try and ensure I answer all comments where possible because as a viewer I would want some kind of acknowledgement that my comment has been seen. The S-Cross is by no means a bad car - far from it - but it lacks the fun of the Vitara. I'm not sold on the styling either... I reckon you'll have some good fun with the Vitara S! What colour did you go for out of interest?

Believe it or not, thanks to this balanced, honest review, and a bank holiday weekend special offer - and lots of fun with two great salesmen (I don't often say that!😲😉😄) - my partner bought one, same spec as this, in blue (we didn't feel we could stretch to, or needed the all grip version). Better all climate tyres would help no end in bad weather, the economy tyres are as much use as a chocolate kettle in the UK. Over all a good car, often overlooked. How long the peppy little 1.0L 3 cylinder, lower pressure turbo set up will last is anyone's guess but Suzuki's are usually bomb proof in that regard. We'd nearly given up after looking at a raft of other cars, saw this review, got the special offer - twisted the sales team's arm for some other extras - and a 2018 model was purchased in 2018. My only criticism - there has been a few minor niggles, all quickly sorted by our friendly, not quite so local, dealership - is the adjustable centre console cubby hole/arm rest, which makes handbrake use a little awkward (but you get used to it). And I've not found a way to completely cure the parcel shelf 'shake and rattle' 😄😄😄🙄😄. An annoyance though are modern brake pads and friction materials without brass/metal filings, common in all modern cars, causing pad and disc glazing, disc noise and additional rust and detritus on and around the wheels. That's car industry progress though I guess🤔🤔🙄🤔 Thanks for a great review, these really are great motors😊✌️👍

Hi thank you for your quick response, without putting you on the spot, do you think i should think about another make and model of Suv or Cuv.rather than the Suzuki Sx4 cross. My reason for asking, is that both my good lady and myself, have severe back pain, and wihh you saying that the Sx4 Cross isva firm ride.Im a bit worried that i make the wrong choice. If you can advise me with this problem, i would be very gratefull to you.Thank you in advance.👍

What is that little black square for, on the door handle, is it some kind of fingerprint writer, or just a door opener? And is the start/stop button available in every model, or only with the models with panoramic roof window? And last question, is the manual gearbox available (or choosable) in every model too? thank you
@CarObsession
@CarObsession 7 жыл бұрын
Hello Kolman, thanks for watching. The square is for the keyless entry, so if the car is locked but the key is in your pocket, you press the black square and the car will open. In regards to the specification, where are you based? Because the UK cars may be different to the ones in your region (if you're not UK)

Hi Brian (or is it Andy?), thanks for watching, and thanks for the great feedback! If it were personally, I'd go for the 1.4 Vitara. The Vitara is more fun in my opinion, I also think it's better looking, plus the 1.4 engine has a good amount of shove to it.

SCross is £2000 to £2500 cheaper than the Vitara in the UK if you push hard for discounts. Full leather, slightly bigger boot and dual-zone climate helped me choose it over the better looking Vitara.

Good question funnyfiveminutes. In my experience, all the Suzuki models I've driven have quite a firm suspension set up. I've not tested the S-Cross with smaller wheels, but I would say it would be an improvement. I'll be honest though, I don't think it would be a MAJOR improvement though. Thaks for watching.

0-60 11s pedestrian? This is an suv with a 1.0 engine. Bought for a reason not a 0-60 drag. Suzukis are bought for reliability and 4wd qualities in the main. No comments about towing ability or what its like with 4 people in. Reviewers would rather talk about hard plastic and 0-60. This is a niche vehicle in its sales probably bought by loyal suzuki followers. Not criticising just when will a review contain towing info as this is the sort of vehicle with fwd that might and also whats the 1.0 like fully laden. I ve never owned a suzukibut everyone i know that has are now loyal customers. I am attracted to the level of kit these have and the reliability as i keep my cars a long time

No, there's not much in it - the Vitara S I tested offered 375 litres whereas the S-Cross offered 430 litres. So I doubt you would really miss the extra space. I also think the S-Cross is perhaps aimed at a more refined audience whereas the Vitara is quite fun and youthful in its look in my opinion.
