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

This version of the Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) is a comprehensively reworked midsize family SUV, featuring a new look, enhanced interior quality, and a wealth of standard kit, including many latest safety features. Aggressively priced, it offers impressive value compared to many rivals. With a 430-litre boot that feels larger than the number suggests and a useful false floor, it caters well to family needs. Front occupants enjoy ample space and a clear view, aided by parking sensors and a reversing camera across the range. The dashboard is conventional and logical, though the infotainment touchscreen isn't the slickest.

While its ride comfort and handling are adequate rather than exceptional, the S-Cross does nothing particularly badly. The 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo engine, despite its 127bhp, pulls strongly and remains smooth and quiet. Running costs are competitive, with the mild hybrid powertrain offering official fuel economy figures around 53mpg for the most frugal manual FWD version, dropping to about 46mpg for the automatic 4WD. Although historically its residual values haven't matched rivals, Suzuki hopes this improved model will fare better.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a well-equipped midsize SUV with strong value, and families needing decent space and practicality.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising the absolute best-in-class driving dynamics, those concerned about long-term residual values, or taller rear passengers in panoramic sunroof-equipped models due to limited headroom.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the S-Cross if: You're on a budget, seeking a well-equipped midsize SUV with strong value, or a family needing decent space and practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the absolute best-in-class driving dynamics, are concerned about long-term residual values, or frequently carry taller rear passengers (especially in models with a panoramic sunroof).

Competitive Position: The Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) has significantly improved, offering a smarter appearance, decent space, a posher cabin, and more civilised road manners than its predecessor. While it may not be the outright best in its highly competitive mid-size SUV class, its aggressive pricing, comprehensive standard kit, and appealing blend of abilities make it a compelling and sensible alternative, particularly for value-conscious buyers.
