Used Suzuki S-Cross for sale

What types of used Suzuki S-Cross cars are there?

Suzuki has been using the S-Cross name for a number of years, but it was previously known as the SX4 S-Cross.

It has taken on several forms over its time on sale, but it has always sat somewhere between being a large crossover and a small SUV.

Newer cars are only available with petrol power, but the mild hybrid powertrain does a good job of keeping emissions (and your car tax bill) low. There’s also a full hybrid if you prefer to go all-in.

Look out for four-wheel-drive cars, badged ALLGRIP, which are better suited to towing or tackling muddy tracks.

Popular Suzuki S-Cross trims

Suzuki has done away with endless trim levels and equipped even the cheapest model with more than you might expect.

> Suzuki S-Cross Motion - the Motion entry-level car gets all-round parking sensors, heated front seats and keyless entry

> Suzuki S-Cross Ultra - upgrade to this trim level for a 360-degree parking camera, a sliding panoramic sunroof and built-in sat-nav

Suzuki S-Cross history

The third-generation S-Cross is what you’ll get if you search for a used Suzuki S-Cross. Before that, it was the SX4 S-Cross.

> Second-generation Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013) - it might be an ageing model, but it still looks pretty fresh

> Facelifted Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2016) - this was a pretty major overhaul of the S-Cross, both inside and out

> Third-generation Suzuki S-Cross (2021) - it’s still recognisable as an S-Cross, but this generation feels more upmarket

What features does the Suzuki S-Cross have?

Standard equipment on the third-generation Suzuki S-Cross for sale is strong, so you’ll do just fine buying the entry-level option.

In terms of driver aids, expect adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and keyless entry.

Inside, you get dual-zone climate control and heated front seats, plus a seven-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support.

Upgrade to the Ultra for some extra tech, like a 360-degree parking camera and a larger nine-inch display.

Is the Suzuki S-Cross reliable?

Yes, the Suzuki S-Cross is generally considered a reliable car thanks to its simple design and proven technology.

It also tends to attract positive owner reviews. The warranty helps – it may be an industry-standard three-year period, but regular servicing can extend this up to seven years/100,000 miles.

How much does the Suzuki S-Cross cost to run?

Suzuki reckons more than 50mpg is possible from the mild hybrid and full hybrid, but the full hybrid should be more economical around town where it can spend more of its time in electric-only mode.

Insurance groups are 16-23, which isn’t far off what you might pay for a smaller family hatchback.

Who is the Suzuki S-Cross suitable for?

A used Suzuki S-Cross for sale is the biggest modern Suzuki you can get, and it goes head-to-head with the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Skoda Karoq and Toyota C-HR.
