What is it?
The S-Cross is Suzuki's small SUV, sitting above the Vitara in the local lineup. Power comes from a 1.4L turbocharged Boosterjet four producing 103 kW and 220 Nm, paired to a 6-speed torque converter automatic with optional AllGrip 4WD. Production ended February 2025 and run-out dealer stock continues from $33,290 drive-away. The 1.5 Full Hybrid sold overseas was never offered in Australia.
The lineup runs from S-Cross MY23 base at $33,290 drive-away, through to AllGrip Prestige at $48,432 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Drive-away pricing under $34k for a turbo four with a real torque converter automatic. AllGrip 4WD with four selectable modes is a genuine traction system, not a software gimmick. 430 L boot leads the light SUV bracket.
Production ended February 2025 ahead of the 1 March 2025 vehicle safety rule change. Existing dealer stock only, no MY26 build, no announced replacement. 1.5 Full Hybrid offered overseas was never brought to Australia.
