The Japanese automaker, Suzuki recently revealed the new generation S-Cross for the international market. The new model will be first introduced in the European markets followed by its debut in other markets in the coming months. This time around, the updated model has already started arriving across European dealerships bearing the name SX4 S-Cross.

As seen in the images, the new model now gets an SUV-ish body style unlike its predecessor with a low-slung roofline and crossover styling. It now features wide headlamps with tri-beam LED elements, which is complemented by a large gloss black grille with a honeycomb mesh pattern and a prominent chrome line running between the headlamps. The redesigned front bumper accommodates fog lamp housings and silver skid plates to highlight the SUV character.

The side profile features thick wheel arches and body-coloured ORVMs. The lower variants will get a single-tone alloy wheel, while the dual-tone combination will be limited to the higher variants. As for the rear, the vehicle gets split tail lamp housings with clear lenses and a chrome strip on the boot lid which runs between new taillights. The vehicle also gets an angular boot design that enhances the overall profile. Like the front, the rear bumper also gets a skid plate enclosed around the rear fog lamp.

The vehicle gets an all-black dashboard with a floating nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The seats get a grey textured pattern, while the centre console gets a glossy insert around the gear shifter and the temperature control display. The vehicle also offers a front armrest with storage space.

Mechanically, the new S-Cross overseas will be powered by a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system to generate 127bhp and 235Nm of torque. This engine is available in six-speed manual and an automatic transmission option. Moreover, Suzuki S-Cross also offers the Allgrip all-wheel-drive system and four different drive modes – Auto, Snow, Lock, and Sport.

There are no immediate plans to introduce the new S-Cross in the Indian market. However, the updated model might be introduced sometime later.
