Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Launching On August 5, 2015

Maruti Suzuki, the country's largest carmaker, will launch the much-anticipated S-Cross Premium Crossover on August 5, 2015, revealed MSI at the inauguration of its premium dealership range Nexa.  The vehicle will be sold exclusively through the company's premium dealerships - Nexa.

The company will initially have 100 dealerships across 30 major cities. In the areas where the company won't have these dealerships, it will take bookings at regular Maruti Suzuki sales outlets and then potential buyers will be driven to the nearest Nexa dealership. Other than the S-Cross, there will be no other cars on display at the company's premium dealership range. Just so you know, the company intends to launch more premium cars in coming months.

The S-Cross will be made available with two diesel engine options - 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre multijet diesel. While the former is the same that powers the Ciaz, Swift, Swift Dzire and Ertiga, the more powerful 1.6-litre multijet diesel engine will make its India debut with the S-Cross. Though the 1.6-litre diesel powertrain will be imported, the company says that the 1.6-litre engined variants will be priced quite competitively.
