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 aiming to compete in a tough segment. Suzuki has given it a completely new look, enhanced interior quality, a generous amount of kit, and the latest safety features. It is aggressively priced, offering impressive value for money compared to many rivals, making it a compelling alternative for budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped family car.

While its ride and handling are adequate rather than exceptional, the S-Cross shines with its excellent 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo engine, which is smooth, quiet, and pulls strongly despite its modest 127bhp. Running costs are competitive, with mild hybrid powertrains offering fuel economy figures ranging from around 46mpg to 53mpg, depending on the drivetrain and gearbox. The boot offers 430 litres of space, and while rear headroom can be limited in top-spec models with a panoramic sunroof, legroom is generous.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a well-equipped and practical family SUV, and buyers prioritising value for money over class-leading driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising the finest handling and ride comfort, those who need maximum rear headroom with a panoramic sunroof, or those looking for premium badge appeal.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the S-Cross if: You're on a budget, seeking a well-equipped and practical family SUV, or prioritising value for money over class-leading driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the finest handling and ride comfort, require maximum rear headroom in all configurations, or are looking for premium badge appeal.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) has transformed from an also-ran to a far more compelling option in the mid-size SUV class. While it may not outperform rivals in every dynamic aspect, its aggressive pricing, generous standard equipment, improved looks, and posher cabin make it an excellent value proposition. Its blend of practicality, decent road manners, and strong 1.4-litre engine ensures it's a success for buyers seeking a sensible and affordable family car.
