Suzuki S-Cross

So far it has been very reliable on all occasions and spacious enough for my family. Hasn't broken down or needed fixing, though it must be said that I have also been servicing it regularly. Boot space is a big plus, and if you need more space for moving items, the seats fold down easily. The fuel economy is good.

Took a glance at this crossover where it certainly looks wide from the outside.

Exterior can be a eye catcher for its appealing LED lights and some chromes here and there. Roof rails and 17 inch rims does add to its sportiness too.

Interior has a spacious cabin which it comes pretty neatly furnished with many accessories too.

Noticed many things given in this 2WD variant like auto headlamps and rain sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, info display panel on the speedo side (for std package for factory parking sensors), dual zone aircon, sunroof for 4WD variant.

The start of the engine is pretty much quieter than what I expect which is great. Drive off and engagement of gears are smooth too. Pickup is smooth, same goes for cruising too.

During the route, drive to a bumpy area and the suspension is great. Also, tried to speed up, the gearbox is responsive too.

Overall, this is a pretty much crossover to consider but only need to take note of the package dealer offers.

Owned the car for 2 months. Aircon compressor cut in cut out sound is too loud and annoying. Totally unacceptable. Worse than china car. Feedback to service centre and they said they can't do anything and tell me to live with it. Should have gotten Subaru XV or Honda Vezel

My 2nd review 3 mths after taking delivery. It was the worst air con. Noise & vibration from compressor cut in & out was irritating when you are caught in jam and when engine is idling. The clicking sound drive you nut. I strongly advise all potential buyer of any Suzuki model to spend a few minutes in an idling car, set the temperauture at 25 degree. Dont be fooled and allow the sales person to set at 20 degree. Feel the clicking noise & vibration. It will drive you crazy

Engine noise is geting louder , car insulation need improvement , road noise can be loud esp over rough surface.

Car can jerk forward when moving from stop. Gear change can be rough. Can feel the jerk and sudden change in gear despite it was CVT

Auto light sensor doesn't work well, does not turn off even around 8am and doesn't turn on in late evening. I dont know if you xan call it day running light. If you set at auto mode and if sensor detect it is bright enough, no day running light unkess you manually set it

Dash board noise & rattling when driving iver rough surface

Reported all these problems during last 2 servicing. Was told it was within specification.

Car seat support seem to soft after 3 month. Dont feel the dupport and firmness anymore

Back door hinge squeak loudly ehen open wider

Was told they report the aircon compressor clicking noise and vibration to Japan. Don't expect any quick solution from Japan. Service ctr cannot do insulation on compressor. Have to wait for Japan. This clearly showed they are aware of this problem. Too be honest, i would not mind to spend $1k to replace another brand if compressor but will the car warranty still be valid

I am giving an objective evaluation. Some might disagree and would comment i should be buying a luxury car instead. But car is expensive in Spore and owners are very demanding on quality

Aircon cut in & out noise and vibration is irriating. Told me it was due to air con compressor clutch. Also happen on Swift. This make driving the car so unpleasant especially during idling. Told me to turn up hi fi volume and turn aircon temp down to minimise cut in/out. Very disappointed with such suggestions from AD. Rear fender alignment gap is wide. Don't see Japanese quality. Car jerk forward when moving from stop. Service ctr claimed it is within normal load

It has an upright seating position and the controls are well placed. I get easily comfortable in it and it has good visibility. The steering is not heavy and I can driving quite well. The multimedia set works reasonably well with the BT audio, radio, hands free phone and Navigation map. At the back passenger area is quite spacious. The S-Cross is well-equipped. Cabin noise from road condition well acceptable.
