Maruti has finally launched the S-Cross petrol in India which gets a 1.5 Litre petrol engine. The prices start at Rs 8.4 Lakhs.
The last car to be updated in the stable of Maruti Suzuki, S-Cross finally gets a BS6 compliant petrol engine. In the BS4 version, it only came with a diesel engine which was discontinued due to the emission norms. Now, it is a petrol-only SUV/crossover battling out with other compact SUVs like Renault Duster, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
The prices of Maruti S-Cross petrol commence at Rs 8.4 Lakhs, which makes it cheaper than the diesel version. Since the diesel engine came only with a manual gearbox, the S-Cross petrol manual is cheaper by nearly Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000. Here’s variant wise price list:
| Manual | AT | |
| Sigma | 8.39 Lakhs | – |
| Delta | 9.60 Lakhs | 10.84 Lakhs |
| Zeta | 9.95 Lakhs | 11.85 Lakhs |
| Alpha | 11.15 Lakhs | 12.39 Lakhs |
