Suzuki S-Cross (2013 to 2021)

Score: 8 / 10
“The basic premise of the S-Cross is that, for pure driving enjoyment, it doesn’t quite come up to rivals. But in terms of what you get for your money, it leaves many rivals behind.”

“A 2016 facelift for the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross may have changed the styling, but it remains a great value crossover that’s decent to drive.”

“There are aspects of Suzuki’s latest S-Cross that are noteworthy. The styling may be a bit questionable, but if you spec it accordingly and choose one of the punchy petrol engines, the S-Cross is an awful lot of car for the money.”

“The Suzuki S-Cross looks like OK value in the C-segment, although its smaller size will count against it on practicality, but it might have a harder time overcoming the appeal of newer, cheaper and not much smaller alternatives from the class below.”

“Quirky. That’s arguably the best word to sum up the Suzuki S-Cross. Yes, that nose is grotesque, but the unexpected competence of pretty much everything else makes it a little more forgivable.”

“There’s a refreshing honesty about the SX4 S-Cross that Suzuki should be applauded for. Detroit-esque grille aside it’s unpretentious, reliable, fit-for-purpose family transport with a standard kit roster in SZ-T form that embarrasses other players in the market.”

“Well equipped, practical and better to drive than most, the Suzuki S-Cross is still something of a hidden gem in the crossover/SUV market. As a family runaround this model is hard to fault, though we’d probably opt for the diesel for better efficiency.”

“The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is a surprisingly capable small SUV that’s good value, practical and decent to drive, but not the most exciting car to look at.”

“Squint at the Suzuki S-Cross and you’ll see a few similarities to the Nissan Qashqai. That’s not a huge surprise – the Nissan crossover is a bestseller and it was the benchmark against which the S-Cross was measured, and the model from which Suzuki hopes to steal some of the limelight.”

“The Suzuki S-Cross has the ingredients to give the Nissan Qashqai food for thought. Its main selling point is value for money. To get the same amount of goodies in the Qashqai you need two or three grand more.”

“The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross gives you a lot of space for your money and is available with a strong and efficient diesel engine. Make sure you can live with the firm ride, though. And avoid the higher-spec versions – these are priced too close to the Nissan Qashqai.”
