The Suzuki S-Cross GLX is put through its paces as a member of the CarAdvice long term fleet. We get a second opinion from a local pro bodyboarder and head out mountain biking.
The Suzuki S-Cross GLX joins the CarAdvice long-term fleet.
As far as small SUVs go, the Suzuki S-Cross is by no means a popular model. But that perhaps has more to do with Suzuki’s brand recognition in this segment than the merits of the vehicle itself. As the 12th most popular small SUV in Australia (in a class of 19 entrants), the S-Cross is a rare sight at the best of times...
Read the article here. The Suzuki S-Cross GLX has been a member of the CarAdvice long-term fleet for a while now. Over the past couple of months we’ve tested it out by loading a mountain bike on the roof and loaning it to pro-bodyboarder Lachlan Cramsie to get his perspective on the little SUV...
At the recent MotorWorld Sydney event at Sydney Motorsport Park, we assembled 11 small SUVs under $50,000 with the aim of comparing not only the cars, but the thoughts of the CarAdvice testing team with the thoughts of you – our readers – and other members of the public...
Buyers and manufacturers are obsessed with all things SUV at the moment, with soaring sales leading to massive expansions plans of high-riding hatchbacks and wagons with tough styling. So it comes as no surprise, then, that a new ultra-small SUV market has emerged beneath the RAV4 and CX-5 compact class...
When brands update their cars, sometimes the stylists get it wrong. Facelifted models are supposed to add some flair to an existing model - to bring it up to speed with its competitors, or harden up some edges that may been looking a little limp on the original model. They can be massive, major overhauls, or nips and tucks and tweaks to minor aspects of the car's design...
Paul returns from the LA Motor Show and gives us his hits and misses, and Dave is fresh (and dusty) from the WRC. In car news this week, we feature the 2018 Ford Mustang details being leaked, 2017 Suzuki S-Cross and Holden Barina pricing and specs, Dodge Charger and Challenger being investigated for a RHD conversion, 2018 LDV T60 ute is revealed and the Honda Jazz infotainment unit gets an update, but it's missing something very important! We talk to James Ward about the 2017 Skoda Kodiaq, which he drove on its launch in Minorca...
Australian pricing and specifications for the facelifted 2017 Suzuki S-Cross range have been revealed this week, with the revamped SUV starting from $27,990 plus on-road costs. The two-tier range is exclusively powered by the 1.4-litre 'Boosterjet' turbocharged petrol engine also used in the Vitara S Turbo, producing 103kW of power at 5500rpm and 220Nm of torque between 1500 and 4000rpm through a six-speed automatic transmission...
The updated and facelifted 2017 Suzuki S-Cross has been confirmed for the Australian market, and will launch locally on November 22. Few details have been released regarding local specifications, though Suzuki has confirmed all S-Cross variants in Australia will be offered with the 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol engine available in the Vitara S Turbo, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission...
The Suzuki S Cross is a car quite often forgotten in the over-populated, uber-popular small SUV category. While it isn't the first car to come to mind when you think of a small SUV, it is an all-round, well-packaged vehicle that serves its purpose well. We purchased our S-Cross GL (base model) nearly 3 years ago, while the model was still in its infancy...
