Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013 - 2021) 1.0 Boosterjet SZ-T 5d Owner Review

This SX4 S Cross 1.0 SZT is well equipped with an excellent infotainment system, parking sensors (F&R), rear camera, cruise control, bluetooth, sat nav, start stop, hill assist and although a bigger boot than a qashqai feels smaller and is not as bulbous. There is plenty of head room for adults (the SZ5 which is top of the range with the panoramic sunroof restricts headroom in the back)and the fuel economy even with only 100 miles when we took delivery (pre reg) is fantastic at 49-51 miles per gallon. The 1.0l boosterjet engine according to my wife is more powerful than our previous 1.6 petrol mazda 3. It pulls well and even with three adults in the car goes up a nearby testing steep incline on a motorway with no sense of labouring or hesitation. The steering is quite light and takes a little getting used too. Brakes are responsive and progressive. The car in our and family/friends opinion look very attractive and the whole family are pleased. The car was £15995 with £750 dealer accessories thrown in, which made it a great deal compared to the prices we received for other makes Renault Captur, Nissan Qahqai and Ford Ecosport. The only negative observations to date are that some of the plastics are a bit hard and dated, the front chrome grill is a little ragged at one corner which is a finishing and quality issue and the same for the gear knob which has a crease in the mould which irritatingly catches our fingers. The car was excellent value with the accessories and with so little miles it was a bargain compared to other manufacturers. The reliability will be a determined over coming months and years. However from our knowledge of other suzuki products we will hopefully not have too many difficulties.
