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. The latest incarnation features a smarter appearance, improved interior quality, decent practicality with a 430-litre boot, and a more civilised driving experience. It comes well-stocked with luxury and safety kit across both Motion and Ultra trim levels, including automatic LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The S-Cross is powered by a 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol engine producing 127bhp, which pulls bullishly from anywhere in the rev range and remains smooth and quiet under load. Available with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox, it delivers around 53mpg in the entry-level manual configuration, dropping to approximately 48mpg with four-wheel drive. Most importantly, the S-Cross is aggressively priced compared with rivals, offering exceptional value for money with far more standard equipment than many competitors, making it a compelling alternative in a crowded midsize SUV segment.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped family SUV, those prioritising value for money and standard kit, and families needing practical everyday transport with decent safety features.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising the finest ride and handling dynamics, those requiring maximum rear headroom, or buyers seeking the longest manufacturer warranties.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the S-Cross if: You're seeking a well-equipped family SUV with exceptional value for money, prioritising standard kit and affordability over premium badge appeal or dynamic handling.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the finest ride and handling dynamics, require maximum rear headroom, or seek the longest manufacturer warranties.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki S-Cross (2021-present) is a far more compelling proposition than its predecessor, offering an appealing blend of practicality, equipment, and aggressive pricing. Whilst it doesn't match rivals like the Nissan Qashqai or Hyundai Tucson for user ratings or the finest driving dynamics, its exceptional value proposition and generous standard specification make it a highly sensible choice for budget-conscious family buyers. The well-engineered 1.4-litre Boosterjet engine and available four-wheel drive add to its appeal, positioning it as a strong contender in the midsize SUV segment for those prioritising value and practicality.
