The Suzuki SÂ-Cross was created for drivers who value functional motoring with flexibility. It handles busy town centres and modestly rougher lanes with equal comfort, and its straightforward controls and sensible boot space make it a reliable companion for families or busy professionals. Launched in 2013 as the second-generation SX4 SÂ-Cross, it received a design refresh in 2016 and then evolved further for 2022, adding hybrid technology and sharper styling to stay competitive with rivals such as the Å koda Kamiq and Ford Puma. Today’s SÂ-Cross models offer solid safety kit, intuitive cabin ergonomics and a choice between mild-hybrid and full-hybrid petrol.
All S‑Cross models since 2013 received a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Modern trims offer a comprehensive safety package, including multiple airbags, ABS, stability and lane keeping assist, traffic-sign recognition and blind-spot monitoring. Higher-spec versions also feature adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree parking camera.
Early models (2013–2016) offered 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines. From the 2016 facelift, new Boosterjet turbocharged petrol units arrived (1.0 L and 1.4 L). Since 2020, the line-up includes mild-hybrid 1.4 L Boosterjet and more efficient full-hybrid 1.5 L Dualjet engines – with front- or all-wheel drive options.
Most models come with a touchscreen, Bluetooth, DAB radio and smartphone mirroring (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay). Higher trims add navigation, a 360-degree camera and climate controls. The user interface and controls remain simple and intuitive.
If you’re looking at newer hybrid models, official figures suggest up to 53.2 mpg for front-wheel drive and around 47.8 mpg for AllGrip four-wheel drive. In everyday driving, most owners see real-world averages closer to 44–50 mpg, depending on your habits and routes. Older petrol versions usually return 47–51 mpg, while early diesels can reach up to 69 mpg officially – though they’re less common on the used market now. For local journeys or steady commutes, the mild-hybrid setup is impressively efficient for a small SUV.
Look for a full service history and confirmed completion of safety recalls. On diesel models, check for any diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues and fluid upkeep. Test all electronics, including infotainment and safety aids. For added peace of mind, book The AA Vehicle Inspection.
Yes – the S‑Cross has a strong reliability record and often ranks well in independent surveys. Drivers generally report few serious faults, particularly when the car has been consistently maintained. It’s a trustworthy choice when looking for a quality used SUV.
