Built from a completely new platform the S-Cross is the first real attempt by the market leader to enter the premium segment, something which its peers including Hyundai have done effortlessly.
The new vehicle, which would be sold through a dedicated distribution channel called Nexa, will be offered only in diesel and has two variants. This is the global launch of the car. The company and its suppliers have invested over Rs 600 crores towards developing this model.
Though the S-Cross will compete against Hyundai i20 Active, Toyota Etios Cross and Fiat Avventura it is priced higher than competition.
