Modern Suzuki is to me, what Toyota was in the 80s 90s and 00. Great value, cheap to run and bulletproof cars. Added bonus is that many of the models are fun to drive.
just in India they sell the same engine wrapped in quite literally a tin can !!
@@TheZenith790 have you ever set foot on a indian s scross / brezza /ciaz before repeating the same rhetoric ? Same engine ?? Which maruti suzuki car presently has a 1.4 turbo engine in india ?
@@arjunjmenon it is not a rheotoric. It is a fact in India. Many Indians have lost their precious lives due to the tin cans of Maruthi Suzuki.
In India
S cross - Too much body roll when it take it tot twisty roads
Ciaz - literally a tin can.
Brezza - body roll that creates a dizzy feeling even in a city.
They are not upto the mark on their Engineering and Dynamics as compared to Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota.
So good to see a review on a basic model, too many car reviews always feature the top spec cars , makes a nice change as this is the one I would consider going for, I have a Vitara 1.0 booster jet engine and had it for 3 years and it’s been brilliant for me I don’t drive fast and it gets me around in 52mpg , looking at maybe this now , great review as always 👍🏼
Glad you enjoy your Vitata, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts
Reviews always feature top spec cars because that’s what the manufacturer normally gives the automotive press, not because they asked for it. You need to understand that.
Huge price increase from the previous Scross. We have owned a SZt model for the last three years. Cost 18k. . Now same car (mostly) retails at over 25k. Only difference is slightly bigger engine and the hybrid stuff that will probably cause problems if the car is not well used most days to keep its little battery charged. Too expensive now so can't see us buying one.
Having purchased a Suzuki Ignis for my wife and then a 2021 Vitara for myself, both new from a dealer, I have now ordered the new S-Cross. Why, well I regard the cars as being perhaps one of the most overlooked brands in the UK. I owned a good number of Suzuki motorcycles in the past and their engineering was faultless and they have carried that engineering prowess into their car division. I had the Vitara on a PCP and got a call from the dealer telling me I could have the new S-Cross for less than I'm paying for the Vitara, which incidentally has, I think one of the smoothest auto boxes I have ever used - and at 72 years old I have driven an awful lot of cars and had a lot of new business cars over my lifetime, and the Vitara knocks spots off some of the so called better brands I have had. I frankly wouldn't change the brand now - the dealer has been absolutely superb and taking the S-Cross for a very extended test drive confirmed that it is in my opinion a softer ride than the Vitara, it feels slightly higher and has a better level of equipment. Why would I not say yes to that offer? If you get one I doubt you will be disappointed either with the car or with the dealer service, as Suzuki dealers consistently rate amongst the highest out there. Good to remember that this car is around £25k - I have just finished the latest TopGear magazine wherein they review a car costing nearly £70k and are complaining about the seats, the heating and the heated seats not heating up quickly. The S-Cross had heated by the time we left the dealers premises i.e. in less than five minutes. Well done Suzuki.
Thank you for reviewing this, especially the base model. It's a car I think so many people will overlook - but Suzuki deserve to do well especially when being so generous with spec and you consider their reliability! I really like it and the interior looks fine to me.
Shame everyone will buy the T-Roc instead with its 'german build quality' plastic interior 🤣
Thanks for sharing!
New SCROSS is far too expensive. It's just a current version with s new front and rear. Paid 18k for our current one now they want over 25k. And that's not the Ultra! Sorry but after owning six Suzuki cars we will not be laying out that amount.
@@AutoSocialUK thanks for information 🙏 ☺ 😊 👍 🙂
Going to be picking up my Suzuki S Cross tomorrow in Ultra spec your video review albeit when this car was first launched nailed it for me and this car will become my first Suzuki
Thanks Madame, as always brilliant commentary and review.
Great description thanks. It’s good you mentioned the seats are comfortable. I wish reviews would focus more on comparative seat details as it’s such a big long term ownership consideration.
Thank you for watching
Top of your game, you tick all the boxes, informative , enjoyable, to the point , entertaining, and a lovely personality.,
Thank you so much, it was a good day filming!
Makes such a change to see the base model , not just the "top of the range" with added extras
Thank you for a really good review!
Glad it was helpful!
Love you and your detailed review!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic review
Great video as always and happy new year! As Suzuki hasn’t been in the US since 2013, it isn’t sold here, but it seems like it is an extremely good value. I really like the different shots in this video, like the driving shots and the close-ups of you shifting. Also, love the houndstooth coat!
Thank you so much, I created a presentation with work, so was able to borrow Anna for some cool shots. Wish I could work with someone all the time. Happy new year!
Another great review tish 👏👍
Thank you very much 😁
I had a test drive in this car but auto transmission this week, having owned an SZ-5 previously which had the panoramic sunroof, leather seats etc I was thinking that I would be opting for the Ultra, however I have gone for the Motion in Titan Grey and will be getting auto as I found my first ever drive in an auto so easy (I have been driving manuals for over 40 years).
I had a long test drive on different road types and gradients, town and country and motorway.
My car is on order and I can’t wait to get it.
Your presentation skills are so commendable. 👌 support from 🇮🇳 ✌😍
Great video Tish love the way you review the car.
Thank you for watching
Happy new year beautiful, great videos !
Thank you for the support
Happy New Year Tish 🎉 💛 🤗
Happy new year! A well balanced review Tish. As you say it seems quite rare to have a base model for review but I think you summed everything up really well. It's stuffed with kit and will do an honest job. OK the interior could be better but that could be said of almost every entry model car on sale. Is the improved interior really worth the extra cost over this one? Well I guess that's going to be down to personal preference and the primary use of the car. Once again well done Tish, thankyou for sharing.
You’re right - likely the main reason you’ll go for the top spec is to get the 4x4
Love Suzuki!!! Great cars!!!
Great review tish 💪 happy new year 😉
Thank you very much
Nice review. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
this might be the only channel which has looked at the base varient rather than the top end ones.
A good review. I test drove the entry level and like you was impressed. I have the previous SZ5 model and came from a T Roc SEL where the interior was a lot worse than the S-cross not only that bits fell off it and the head unit was unpredictable at best! I have ordered the Ultra and a VW with the same level of spec would I think cost close to £40k! I was also pleased you made the point about the Quashqui, because so many reviewers ignore the fact that although it is cheaper than the Suzuki Motion it does not come with anywhere near the same level of spec!
Yes lots of plastic used in the T-roc so nice to have some bits of leather on the dash. I got used to radar cruise at VW so I always count that as important to me. Yes exactly, I doubt anyone goes for the Quashqai with steel wheels and no infotainment screen
Love those clear lenses in the rear lights! Very stylish !
Definitely clear lenes are most important 😂
Great review!
Thank you
I’m a simple man when I see a new Suzuki awd, I click. Happy new year little lady.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Happy new year auto social UK excellent review Tish 👍
Thank you so much Wayne and happy new year to you too!
Nice car I have a 2018 Vitara and love it. Good review!
People seem very happy with their Viataras
Very interesting and informative. At least an honest appraisal.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for a great review. I've got this vehicle in my top 3 of what to buy, and I really like that you added in the base model, most people as you say don't do this which I will never understand as most will go for the base model. I also liked the choice of colours idea as this makes it easier than having to search through a search engine. Thanks for the top tips.
No problem, so glad it was helpful. What else is on your list?
Happy new year. Keep up the great work
Thank you very much, happy new year!
Thank you. Stay safe n sound
Great review & thumbs up given 👍😊
Appreciate it ☺️
Good review overall. Waiting for the new S Cross in India expected this year. Suzuki with almost 50% market share here do tend to get popular.
Nice refreshing reviewer of a great car
I appreciate that!
Nice review Tish.
Thank you Jim
I'm impressed with your review. I drive a skoda karoq sel auto and even though it is a great car I'll be handing it back at the end of my PCP as I can't afford another one. The s cross looks like a great alternative.
Happy New year ,New subscriber from India , keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! You too!
Very nice presentation, keep up the good work
Thank you very much
Seeing you reviewing a car always perks me up, Tish (even though most of these aren't available on the other side of the pond (U.S.) ;) ).
As usual, you look smashing in that outfit too, sweetheart. (hugs the gorgeous reviewer)
Thank you for your support Edward, glad you liked the video
I have a 21 plate Vitara SZ5, had the 18 plate S Cross SZT (middle spec) and was very pleased with it. It's the same engine that's in the Vitara, the 1.4 booster jet mild hybrid, so it's really just cosmetic. I'm pleased that you still have an actual handbrake and dials rather than a digital cockpit, I'm not worried about mood lighting and all the rubbish that detracts from driving, like overly complicated infotainment systems, it looks more like the Vitara than the previous S Cross, which may not be a plus until the new Vitara comes out in 24, when I'll be due to upgrade my current car, so may go back to the S Cross or go with the new Vitara..one thing about the S Cross top spec is that the sunroof seriously eats into the head room, unlike the Vitara, but a very good review.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Love the S-cross , have first generation. ❤️💕
Another good review tish. I do like the amount of equipment on the base spec and for the price. May just be a popular one if people don't mind the blandness
A car for people not really into cars 🤔 seems illegal for us to like it 😅
Happy new year tish
Welcome back another excellent review and video
Keep up the good work ,can't wait to see what you got instore for us this year 👍
Thank you so much for your support Nathan!
Really liking your retro 60s black and white style. ☺ Nice review of a "value for money" SUV.
Thank you!
A very nice review..I hope new Scross come in Indonesia 🇮🇩
We have not got this 3rd gen S Cross in Indonesia, however I am so pleased that you cover the basic model, as this trim might the one into Indonesia.
I am hoping that my country got the 1.4T Mild hybrid same as yours, as the current version is using 1.5 Naturally aspirated with 6 AT, and 108hp which is so underpowered compared its big body. Once again thanks for the review
Fingers crossed they change the engine, thank you for watching
Recently bought the 1.4 Vitara. Ticks all the boxes for me and much better than the Captur I ran for a year via work.
Glad you're enjoying your new car!
I am in love with your accent.
Decent SUV. Waiting for this new S cross in India. Good and clear presentation.
Very nice review
Thank you for watching
Dit is fantastisch super leuk
Your videos get better and better. Very professional 😃. I've been keeping an eye on Suzuki for a while and they are making some great cars. I really like the look of the S-Cross.
Are you taking the Lupo to modified nationals at Peterborough?.
Impressive vehicle. Good review. I owned a Vitara a couple of years ago and chose it over the then SX4 S-Cross because I felt it looked more stylish. Now, I would probably choose the new S-Cross over the Vitara for the same reason. You're right about the seat fabric though... something a tad less utilitarian looking would 'lift' the cabin 100%.
I like it. It looks good in and out and is relatively good value given the spec.
Thank you for watching
That's a beauty to look at, I am talking about the 4 wheel.
Thank you from India.
Eagerly awaiting launch here
Thank you for watching
It won’t launch in India, yall get the Grand Vitara there instead, which is anyways a wayyyy better car than the S-Cross
I have had mine a week after years of driving top of the range Skoda Superbs. I have to say my S Cross Ultra Auto is a fantastic little car. All grip is brilliant and ergonomically refreshing. Customer Service is streets ahead of Skoda / VWFS.
Dealership in Corby is brilliant. Try one, I think you will be suitably impressed!
very nice !!!
Would giving a massive thumbs up and subscribing from outside The U.K. where none of these models exist matter ?
Subscribed by the way : )
looking forward for more in-depth exiting reviews.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your support!
Im on my second swift sz5 AWD, I love these cars. Wish that they would hurry up and give us an affordable full EV
I think we might hear of something this year 😏
thank you
We just bought one yesterday part exing a suzuki swift sport boosterjet. The s cross is nice to drive. Loads of great useable stuff in it and with 0% finance is 50 pounds cheaper a month than the swift sport. Can't wait to collect the car in early March. Cheers Pete
That’s really great to hear! I hope you love your new car!
Before reading the other reviews I felt how refreshing it was to see a basic model being reviewed - and I note other viewers appear to feel exactly the same.
It makes a nice change from the reviews of all singing - all dancing models that quite often just aren't worth all the extra money - style over substance.
I enjoyed the informative review and felt you understood the car and what its purpose is.
As a Suzuki owner I would consider one of these models following the facelift and other improvements and I hope they haven't engineered out some of the ordinary qualities that give driver appeal. I feel let down by the newer infotainment and dashboard electronics that seem overly complicated and fussy whilst not delivering the clarity and cutting edge approach we have come to expect from Japanese electronics. The speed recognition cameras that have replaced sat-nav speed indicators are particularly inaccurate and distracting - just overly fussy and not to be depended on and seems to go against Suzuki's reputation for reliability.
Another car you should review when it comes out is the new BMW 2er Active Tourer (a compact minivan with a massive grille).
Fabulous cars, we have had Suzukis for years and wouldn't have any other make, reliable, economical and really good value for money.
I like it very much.
O have a six year old Vitara 1.6 from new and it has been just the best car. The wife also has the new Swift and that has been brilliant and I think we'll change the Vitara for the S-Cross this year.
Brilliant cars, cheap to maintain, good to drive on long journeys and low running costs so, in my opinion, Suzuki isnone of the best manufacturers on the market right now.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Very nice presentation.
Thank you
I love the look of this new car. I would certainly buy one probable the top model.
I am going to test the differences between this and the ULTRA this week
Very well equipped for the entry model and this new one is definitely better looking too. Could do with slightly plusher trim I think though, as to me the seats especially are quite cheap looking.
Couldn’t agree more
Thanks, I am looking to buy this.
What else are you choosing between? :)
@@AutoSocialUK well in my country s-cross is lined up for q1 2022 along with Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Other few contenders are Volkswagen Taigun (made for Indian market) and Skoda Kushaq(made for Indian Market).
Thanks for testing an entry level car. This video convinced me to by an Scross. Will close the deal tomorrow 😃 Here in the Netherlands we can choose between Comfort, Select and Ultra. Mine will be the Select.....
Hope you enjoy it!
So good 👍. Super
Thank you!
Very nice 👍👌
💖 From India
Fantastic review! Unbiased and straight to the point. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you so much Rob
Good video, one small suggestion could you be louder or change your mic / or its position as your voice is bit low, but overall nice video.
Great car suzuki!
Subscribed and liked too
Thank you very much!
one of the good brand in the world, in japaness cars brand line up…..👍🏻🙌🏻
good one
Nice one beb
How I wish this is still available in our country (philippines). I own the older version SX4 and I love it. It's a cheap, practical and reliable car.
hindi po siya available sa Pinas.. Vitara po and Swift ang meron doon. Dito po sa uk s-cross gamit ko. Sulit naman po ang gaan i-maneho 😃
@@hilawyon21 Yes po walang s-cross sa pinas. Ang meron is yung older version na SX4 (originally, higher trim version ng SX4 ang s-cross). But as of 2016, sadly hindi na sya available.
But you do have the XL7, albeit without the 1.4 turbo, which Suzuki should be using across the board as it is an excellent engine with plenty of torque.
Nice car
Come in India and make a review of Tata Harrier. Glad to see you.
You should really review the MG HS, that is value for money. I love mine .
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know there was something smaller than the ZS! I would like to try it, what engine do you have?
Thanks 🙏🏼 great review I really enjoyed watching this. Can you pls tell me about the stereo system in the car ? How does it sound ?…is it any good ? I don’t seem to find any info about that in any of the reviews. Thanks in advance.
You're welcome. I will be honest it's not the best sound system from memory. I have another S-cross in a couple of weeks (the strong hybrid this time) I am thinking of answering some questions in this video. So I will include about the sound system, anything else you would like to know?
Wow. That's incredible for the base spec. Will you be testing the plug-in version too?
Plug in version will follow towards the end of this year or 2023 but yes, I will test when it arrives
Dear friend i am really enjoyed your review. 1000% crystal clear explanation.
I am in india from chennai. I dont know when this s-cross is launched in india???
But definitely i am buy this model👌👌👌
Once again my hearty congratulations your TH-cam channel.
Your channel will get millions subscribers..likes...shares... comments and you get a diamond award from TH-cam soon👍👍👍
All the very best buddy😊
Thank you so much 🙂
can you do a review of the dacia jogger when it comes out??? looks interesting!🤔
I think that’s a good idea. I want niece Tish to review a minivan, and this could be the minivan for her to review.
Yes I would definitely like to! Strangely Dacia is one of the companies I can’t get on the list for but fingers crossed this year 🤞🏼
I test drove the entry level scross but decided to purchase the ultra,automatic in sphere blue. ordered it for March but have just been told they can't get me one till june
is the new s cross NCAP tested ?
I have the previous scross 1,4 auto GL+ and.....everything is fine. It will be better for me to know what is changed from the previous model. Yes ,that will be interesting to know........what to do if I i want to upgrade me!!!!
waiting for this car to come in India... am gonno buy this for sure.
It won’t launch in india. Not that it needs to, y’all get the grand vitara there instead, which is a wayyy better car than S-Cross
@@Randomfellow9952 yeah bro already got it 😊😊 using from last 9 months 😅
love you
btw love your coat
Thank you
Nice to see Lyndsay Lohan working again.
Not the first time someone has made that comparison!
@@AutoSocialUK and will not be the last lol
All that SUV is about.
Simple and practical.
Good value for money.
Absolutely
I'm just waiting for my ultra to be delivered to stoneacre acworth I ordered the black one
