Been driving a Prestige for past year. Just great. It's pretty much as Simone describes it. The torque at low revs and punch when you need it is amazing. If you have to enter a fast moving tollway/freeway from an access lane you sometimes need some instant acceleration. A breeze for this thing. A pleasure to drive. Our budget didn't extend beyond 30K so happy to have found it. You're not getting the cachet of Audi/VW plush interiors etc., but there's hardly any on the road, so you're kinda special, LOL. Hatch cargo area is cavernous for its external size. Have had to have non-user-choosers until recently, so am a full Suzuki convert. Wife drives 2017 Swift Navi; aka a little go-kart. Love it too.
Lets be honest, these crossovers are just slightly taller family hatchbacks, so 4WD is completely unnessesary. Not having it as an option simplify production, lower the cost and free up space, where the transmission tunnel would otherwise have been. All of which make perfect sense for the intended users of the car. As for styling this is also just a family car, while the Vitara is somewhat more funky looking and more targeted towards young buyers.
Agreed, but with any 'elevated' car we have that air of off-road capability, which is often not the case with these modern cars. With AWD it would definitely be more capable off-road, but this is not its purpose anyway
That is quite odd decision from Suzuki, not to include 4WD option for Australian market. Across the EU, all versions of S-Cross have 4WD option, even the 1.0. The same is with Vitara, and even Swift is available as 4WD
If it actually has 4WD as an option, it is indeed a weird decision to offer it to customers in Europe but not Australia. But other manufacturers are making crossovers with no 4WD option now. And I think, that makes perfect sense. As firemarioflower say, you can go a lot further with 2WD, than most people think. The main thing for driving of rough roads or mild offroad conditions is ground clearance not 4WD. Even if you cross Afrika or the Australian outback in a traditional offroader, you are hardly ever going to actually engage the 4WD system. Its really only for river crossings and going through deep mud, which noone is going to do in crossover anyway. Then there are people, who say, they need 4WD, because they live in an area, which have snow in the winter. But its not like, you cant go through snow with FWD either. You can go though quite a lot of snow with FWD actually, if you know, what you are doing. And if the snow is really that deep, then you should probably wait for the road to be cleared anyway.
Hi folks. Where the heck have they hidden the Australian compliance plate on these things? I've been told mine was man in 3/2017 but first registered in 5/2018. The only plate I can find is the original manufacturer's one on the lip inside drivers door...help please!
Funny market decisions Suzuki does: here in Europe, where noone really drives beside real streets, there is a 4x4 versions, but in Australia not? Also: why didn't they include Android Auto? I mean, I don't need it, but when Apple Car Play is already there...? All in all it's a nice crossover for people with a limited budget or who put more emphasis on robustness than on the last quirky quality point - like my dad. He's just not into all those modern features. To Simone: you look gorgeous in this outfit!
Hi Simone,would you be able to advise me whether this car would be suitable for my wife and i. Were pensioner's with back problems, so we need an Suv.or A Cuv.type car, as we find it too difficult to enter & exit a normal low set vehicle. I would be very much obliged to you, if you could let me know which car would be ideal for me, as i will be changing my Moka 1.4 turbo petrol at the end of 2019.Thanks in advance Simone.🏴👍
4:03 Active safety is for ppl who can't drive.... honestly.... it's a nightmare. Human intiuition can't be beat by dumb machines and digital meddlesome shizzle that can't see context and overanalyzes. I find ESP and EBD already 'active' enough. 4:35 Like her style!
The back looks like a Nissan Qashqai, the front looks like a Kia Sorento , the speedometer looks like from the Kia K3 , the sides look a little like the CX-5... LOL.....

weird that you don't have AWD like here in europe!
Something's strange about the sound when Simone speaks from the interior.... or is it just me?
She does a good job, and looks good!
Better looking than before

You can go further in rough terrains with 2WD than you think!!

Are there Suzuki Maruti Ertiga in Australia? I wait your review

Furthermore, they decided the car would sell more if they glued a "Turbo" badge at the rear - really silly!
The music should be lower, sometimes it gets in the way of her voice.
How there are paddle shifters
Plz...make a review of Suzuki ciaz

EASY!

Full review of Maruti Suzuki Vitara 2018
Its NOT only 2WD, its also offered 4x4... such a misleading info...
The 4wd version is no longer sold in australia.
@@zooks3894 any reason why they do not sell it in Australia?
@@Rorynes I suspect low demand? The vitara can still be purchased with All Wheel Drive tho.
@@zooks3894 That's probably the reason - they don't want the S-Cross and Vitara to "compete" between themselves.
Hard to focus on the car
The back looks like a Nissan Qashqai, the front looks like a Kia Sorento , the speedometer looks like from the Kia K3 , the sides look a little like the CX-5... LOL.....
Xavier Lim can't agree more
it reminds me of the BMW x1...
Waterdrop123 111 yes, and it looks really nice
the rear looks like mitsubishi ASX
1:41 that's not very steep...
so hard...to focus on the car I meant....
jenna,jenny n simone ❤
I 30k I would go for toyota rav 4 hybrid than this one.
How did they find so many hot babes who are into cars??
nifty and practical.
funny it has apple car play 😁
Why is the music so romantic? Lol kinda turns me on
..not bad..
Sorry but the front of the S-Cross is so ugly in my opinion - simply the opposite to Simone!!!
On the contrary - the front looks quite posh!
The car . . . has nice legs . . .
This was just a big plug for suzuki. Its not a proper review.
Hello simone your sweet
girl super
