Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very keenly priced	Big jump in price between Motion and Ultra spec
Loaded with luxury and safety kit	Some rivals have longer warranties
Excellent 1.4-litre petrol engine	Only adequate ride and handling

Quick Summary

The Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) is a comprehensively reworked midsize family SUV that addresses many of its predecessor's shortcomings. With a smarter appearance, improved interior quality, decent practicality, and a well-stocked specification, it offers compelling value in a highly competitive segment. The 430-litre boot provides adequate space for most families, whilst the cabin features a logical layout with a touchscreen infotainment system and physical controls. The driving position offers excellent adjustment and visibility, making parking straightforward with the aid of sensors and a reversing camera as standard.

The standout feature is the 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo engine, which delivers bullish performance across the rev range whilst remaining smooth and quiet. Ride comfort is adequate, though the suspension has a slightly firm edge, and handling is competent rather than engaging. The S-Cross comes in Motion and Ultra trim levels, with the entry-level Motion well equipped with dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and Apple CarPlay. The Ultra adds four-wheel drive, a larger touchscreen with navigation, leather upholstery, and a panoramic roof. Fuel economy is respectable at around 53mpg for the manual Motion and 46mpg for the automatic Ultra four-wheel-drive model.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped midsize SUV, families wanting practical space with extensive standard kit, and those prioritising value for money over premium badge appeal.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking the finest ride comfort or handling dynamics, buyers wanting maximum rear headroom, or those preferring longer manufacturer warranties.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the S-Cross if: You're seeking a well-equipped midsize SUV with excellent value for money, want practical space with extensive standard kit, or prioritise affordability over premium badge appeal.

Consider alternatives if: You demand the finest ride comfort and handling dynamics, require maximum rear headroom, or prefer longer manufacturer warranties.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) is now a far more compelling alternative in the midsize SUV segment than its predecessor. Whilst it may not be the outright best in its class, its aggressive pricing, generous standard equipment, and improved overall refinement make it an attractive proposition for budget-conscious buyers. The Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai edge ahead slightly in user ratings and deal availability, but the S-Cross offers superior value, particularly in Motion trim. The Kia Sportage matches it on overall rating, though the S-Cross undercuts it on price. For those prioritising equipment and affordability over premium feel, the S-Cross represents a smart choice in a highly competitive market.
