Maruti S-Cross Petrol Price / Launch Date / Engine Details / Gearbox / Mileage / Features / Safety Features / Dimensions / Design Changes
Maruti has unveiled the Vitara Brezza Petrol at the Auto Expo 2020. Its engine specifications have also been revealed. After that, the second one in line is the Maruti S-Cross. Like Brezza it will now be a petrol-only model instead of a diesel-only model.
Just like Brezza, it will get minor cosmetic upgrades along with a BS6 compliant petrol engine. Here are all the details including price, engine specs, features and changes of the Maruti S-Cross Petrol.
Maruti S-Cross Petrol Price
| Current | Expected | |
| Price (ex-showroom) | Rs 8.81 Lakhs to Rs 11.49 Lakhs | Rs 8.3 Lakhs to Rs 11 Lakhs |
As for the BS4 S-Cross, it is priced from Rs 8.85 Lakhs up to Rs 11.49 Lakhs. Definitely, the price of Maruti S-Cross petrol will be lesser than that.
