Suzuki launches full hybrid S-Cross

The Suzuki S-Cross was replaced in late 2021 by an all-new model with a higher level of safety equipment and latest technology all as standard. The full hybrid version with AGS (Auto Gear Shift) is now on sale and mild hybrid models continue to be available with manual transmission only.

Standard equipment for Motion includes 17in painted alloy wheels, three signature LED projector headlamps for low and high beam, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, Traffic Sign Recognition, Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control with speed limiter, keyless entry and start, dual zone auto air conditioning, seven inch display screen, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, rear parking camera and seven airbags.

Moving up to Ultra adds ALLGRIP Select four-wheel drive, 17in polished alloy wheels, leather seat upholstery, integrated on-board navigation with 9-inch screen, panoramic sliding sunroof and further driver safety and convenience with the fitment of a 360 view camera (Photo: Suzuki)

The higher-powered Suzuki Hybrid system consists of a 140V lithium-ion battery and inverter, Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 12V lithium-ion battery as well as a conventional 12V lead-acid battery to power components requiring lower voltage such as lights, instruments and heating / air conditioning.

The full hybrid system has two switchable modes, Eco and Standard. One switch enables the driver to change between the two modes depending on conditions and also increases the frequency of EV driving. In Standard mode operation, the MGU more frequently assists the petrol engine. The S-Cross Full Hybrid is equipped as standard with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) that automatically shifts the manual transmission with gear ratios balancing performance and fuel economy. The transmission also has a manual mode with steering wheel mounted shift paddles.

Suzuki’s ALLGRIP ‘Select’ system incorporates four driver-selectable modes, which are Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has now introduced Suzuki Connect in the UK. Suzuki Connect utilises the vehicle’s data communication module (DCM) to connect users to their vehicles in real time. Suzuki Connect is initially available in the current range of S-Cross models, before being introduced in other models across Suzuki’s range in the future.

 

By connecting the vehicle via the Suzuki Connect app, available on Android and iOS, users can access connected services, including the ability to monitor and receive notifications about the status of their vehicle, remotely lock the vehicle, and view information such as driving history and the location of their parked car. Users can also choose to receive maintenance-related information and warning light notifications via the Suzuki Connect app, and if an issue is detected, diagnostic information can be shared with their registered Suzuki dealer.

Using their smartphone, drivers can monitor and receive notifications about their vehicle’s status, as well as lock the vehicle remotely.

The audio system fitted to the Motion grade has a Smartphone Linkage Display Audio (SLDA) with a seven inch touch panel display that enables intuitive operation. The system also allows the driver to use certain smartphone applications with MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connection. For the Ultra grade, the screen size increases to nine inches and includes a three dimensional navigation map that makes landmarks easy to distinguish and includes a multitude of features. The system in Ultra models also enables Apple CarPlay connectivity wirelessly.
