We’ve received a couple of pictures of the facelifted Suzuki S-Cross, undisguised. The pictures here were snapped at a dealer presentation that took place in France recently. Though it’s just a facelift of the second-generation compact crossover, the changes appear pretty extensive.
The restyling can be seen quite clearly as compared to the current model – the whole front portion of the S-Cross has been reworked, entirely. These revisions include a new bumper, a larger trapezoidal metal front grille, an entirely new headlamp design and bonnet as well.
It is said that the facelifted S-Cross will also come with higher ground clearance too. Over on the inside, the facelifted model is expected to receive an updated cabin and dashboard – to keep things fresh.
A new range of Boosterjet engines can be expected, including 1.0 and 1.4 litre petrol motors and a 1.6 litre diesel option. A six-speed automatic transmission will be available for all units. It’s said that only the 1.4 litre and 1.6 litre mills can be paired with a six-speed manual, while the 1.0 litre unit will be available with a five-speed manual.
While no longer available in Malaysia following the Proton-Suzuki partnership, the S-Cross here had a sole 1.6 litre M16A four-cylinder petrol engine with 117 hp and 156 Nm of torque. It was mated to a CVT transmission with seven virtual ratios and came with a front-wheel drive configuration. Launched in late 2014, the S-Cross was priced at RM129,888, on-the-road sans insurance.

How is this facelift an improvement?
more like a botched facelift!
Front grille look like from Buick
I can never understand suzuki’s recent styling of their new models, although i give a praise for being creative and not sticking to a single signature design
single signature design can give u an image for the company or current line up..but as u said before, it also shows lack of ‘creativity’. the only good design from suzuki is kizashi suitable for its image as sport sedan. the rest uh..uh..(swift still ok la..)
they trying to incorporate merc and BMW into the headlights design, ending up looking like a China ripoff
Sell it again in Malaysia for 130k. Fail planning. Thank god the distributor Malaysia is gone.
