The second-generation Suzuki S-Cross (often technically considered a very heavy facelift of the first generation) was launched in late 2021 for the 2022 model year. It abandons its curves for a much more cubic, statutory, and assertive design, bringing it visually closer to a true SUV rather than a raised crossover. Faithful to the Suzuki philosophy, it shines with its pragmatism: an aggressive price-to-equipment ratio, first-rate mechanical reliability, and the availability of an excellent AWD system (AllGrip), which is rare in this segment. In Europe, it skips diesel and focuses exclusively on electrified gasoline engines (48V mild-hybrid and 140V self-charging hybrid). While it falls short with a somewhat dated interior presentation (hard plastics) and soundproofing that could be improv
The Suzuki S-Cross II is the archetype of a pragmatic purchase. If you are looking for a vehicle with an avant-garde design or soft-touch plastics, look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you prioritize long-term reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and a true 4x4 transmission, it is an exceptional choice. Buying advice: Absolutely favor the 1.4 Boosterjet MHEV (129 hp) engine. It offers excellent drivability, very reasonable fuel consumption, and flawless reliability. The 1.5 Dualjet HEV (115 hp) version is to be avoided unless you drive exclusively in the city and have an extremely smooth driving style, due to an outdated AGS automated gearbox that ruins the overall drivability.
