Maruti Suzuki S-Cross 1.6 diesel spied

Maruti Suzuki S Cross with 1.6 badge

Maruti Suzuki seems to be taking the Duster challenge head-on with the S-Cross. The upcoming crossover has been spied with a badge on the bootlid that says 1.6 for most definitely the 1.6-litre Fiat sourced diesel engine under its hood. This engine powers the SX4 internationally since a few years but considering the engine isn't available on any car in India yet, it wasn't expected in the S-Cross.

The badge says otherwise so let's fill you in on this engine. It is part of the Multijet Fiat diesel engine family, the larger 1598cc capacity popular in more than a handful of cars in Europe. It develops 120PS of max power at 3750 rpm and 320Nm of max torque from 1750rpm. The 1.6 S-Cross comes mated to six-speed manual transmission and this set up will keep the Duster 110PS firmly in its crosshairs.

There have been rumours of the new engine being tested by Fiat in India for a while. If the S-Cross does get this engine, expect it to find its way into several other cars in the future andndash; the Ciaz and Linea being top on this list.

Maruti will also equip the S-Cross with the 1.4-litre 93PS petrol motor and the 1.3-litre 90PS diesel mill. While these will be the mainstay for the S-Cross, those demanding more performance from the crossover will have the choice of the 1.6. The S-Cross, rumoured to be called the Across in India was expected to be launched by the end of this month but has been delayed. The car is planned for a launch this quarter though so hold on for your next crossover purchase.
