They must have changed dramatically. My brother left his 7 year old Suzuki in France when the engine failed. He was told the cost wasn't worth taken it home and getting a new engine. That was 15k down the drain after only 18 months of ownership.
@Muso Seven it was a Grand Vitara. As for what went wrong with it, I don't really know. I think the timing belt snapped just out of nowhere. If it happened in the UK, it was worth sorting out an engine but to bring it home at the time, he got quotes of £4.5/5k for someone to go over collect it and bring it to Scotland. (Basically, nobody wanted to do it. Plus new engine etc. These days, you could probably get someone to bring it over for £2k. In the end, it was a bad, costly experience.

I’ve got a 2016 s cross. It’s done 100k miles and only had tyres, wiper blades and a battery. It still returns fuel economy at nearly 50mpg. I’m impressed and happily have another.
Me too, same age / mileage, and despite driving most of the time over Dartmoor, nothing but nothing has gone wrong. One can forgive it the mis-hit styling, but I have just ordered the new one. Great work,Suzuki.
Just ordered one, my third S-cross. Super reliable, easy to drive, works well on narrow Highland roads and has a great 4 wheel drive system which I need in winter (no treatment on some of our local roads). The new car is a big step forward. Personally, I think an SUV without 4 wheel drive is a strange choice. The Suzuki multi mode drive system works really well.
For us Southerners with more rain than snow the 2WD with good all climate tyres is more than adequate. In fact I don't know why Suzuki UK use summer Continentals as they're useless in the winter and detract from the brand. Also the likes of Dacia Duster, Ford Focus (Active X) and LR Evoque are all great off roaders in 2wd format with decent tyres. I've seen 1990s/2000s 2wd Volvo's with winter tyres (and winter traction setting on auto gearbox) out perform posh Range Rovers in bad snow - heck our old Hyundai ix20 with version 1 Michelin Cross Climates out performed many 4x4s in the snow (road closure conditions). Torque plays it's part too of course.
I have a 2016 petrol, I will have to replace at some point. But I dare not buy any of the popular makes. Do people not do any research before buying? Who cares about soft touch plastics. Give me reliability. Windscreen wipers had to be replaced at 5yrs old. Love it. A new S Cross methinks.
Suzuki keep the engineering as simple as possible without compromising safety, driving enjoyment and customer satisfaction. These are the reasons that Suzuki always perform well in customer satisfaction and reliability surveys. The 1.4 Booster jet engine is a peach. Long term a very good buy.
I bought a brand new Scross 4x2 in November 2023. My wife and I love driving it, we are so glad buying it. It is not very sotisphicated inside, unlike its rivals. We prefer manual handbrake, for example. Japanese cars are concrete and strong, they say.. I hope so..
I have just bought a week ago, an S cross motion AGS, which has the 1.5 engine, and the AGS semi auto gearbox. I watched numerous reviews before deciding, and one the main things I found, no two were alike, and some of the contradictions perplexed me. I wanted an automatic due to knee problems, having previously owned several over the years, and some of the negative comments concerned me regarding the AGS, so I asked for a test drive. I had expected jerky gearchanges and odd gearchanges, but found zero in my test drive, so I bought it. Now, after a week, I have decided some people do not know how to use a semi automatic. I can make it change gear, (not using the manual gearchange), with ease. For example changing gear going uphill, I just ease my foot of the pedal, and it changes up, or going down hill, simply lifting my foot of it changes down a gear. I have found it as smooth as any semi auto I have had in the past. Maybe they have reprogrammed the car since the AGS was released, but I love the car. It is the full hybrid, and like the ULTRA version tested in this review, it is not just a souped up starter motor, it has over double the battery voltage of the mild hybrid version, and can drive in "EV" mode for short distances, depending on conditions, as well as providing a meaningful boost accelerating, or simply assist cruising up to 40mph to save mpg, depending on battery charge etc. All in all, a great car for the price, and I am pleased my doubting some of the negative comments made in many of the reviews I watched. Finally, without the sunroof, (which the motion version does not have), as it consumes about two inches of headroom, so the motion version is fine for most average people.
I wasn’t really paying attention to the video until the voice of the reviewer seems more and more familiar, and OH MY GOD I’S REBECCA! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you! Glad to see you’re still doing car reviews, keep up the good work!
I would buy s cross over any qashqai, french ,ford small SUV. Simple reliability!. Qashqai is second least reliable SUV in UK. Ironic Nissan use to be so reliable until they went to bed with the French. I stopped buying ford cars a long time ago. The car reviewers will never mention reliability, just on n on n on about stupid interiors. Never mind that a brand new french car will brake down in first year, I've experienced it first hand. Same goes for ford. But no ford has the best handling. Where are you going to drive it fast , there's cameras n humps every where.
I have a citroen berlingo 15 yrs old 150k miles, nothing but service parts, a clutch and drop links. 1.6 petrol, drives perfect and body immaculate, no rust whatsoever, but must say qashqai is pants
Another excellent review from Rebecca, informative, intuitive and precise. I really like the car and will definitely shortlist it when I change mine in a year or so!
@@apoorv480 did I? are you sure? I don’t remember commenting this 3 years ago. But anyways, belated congratulations on your GV! 👏 may I ask which spec and engine did you go for?
Went to look at a few cars yesterday, this car wasn't even on my radar. The sales rep took me to have a look, absolutely surprised but what good car it is. definitely going to be my next car very pleased he had the foresight so show me this car. Great review made me feel confident that this is a good car, meets my needs perfectly!
Just seen this as I'm about to order one here in Quito, Ecuador. Had one on hire in Norway for a weekend and was really impressed. Drove the auto version but ordered manual, very interested to see the difference.
Hi, Can somebody plz help me understand, what word the host/vlogger has said at arnd 2:10, which is the last word of the sentance : "which makes parking manoeuvres, a ______".. Sub title is missing and i like the sound of the word 😉
The comment about crossing a muddy field is a bit off. Tyres are far more important than 4x4 half the time. Nice brief review. Suzuki is a nice, simple, reliable brand very underrated 💪
I currently have this car as a loan car, whilst my car is being repaired by dealership. My impressions so far, it's OK. comfortable ride, loads of safety tech. Doesn't have automatic lock on the doors when you arrive away, you have to manually unlock the doors when you park. Seems to be way overpriced if you were to compare with say Mazda, which is fully loaded. Im sure many will enjoy the Suzuki and its offerings.
Excellent review, succinct but thorough. I am more interested than I ever thought I would be especially considering Suzuki is the most reliable brand out there.
Suzuki have a very good reputation for reliability and quality wize they are a bit down on their rivals because you pay much less.So if you want a reasonable priced suv with a lot of standard kit and the reliability,you can't go wrong with Suzuki.If you have a bit more to throw on a new car then the likes of a Tucson,Sportage and Qashqai come into play.Its all down in the end to the sovs in your pocket.Nice review by the way,Rebecca dear.
Up until 2020 Suzuki was significantly better in terms of price than most other brands. At least in my country. Nowadays, they bumped the prices so much, it's negligible. Their cars still have better level of electronic equipment (usually), but the compelling combo of good spec and low price is not there anymore.
My thoughts after watching this review: "If mediocre was was car, it'll be this one." You literally could not land a single compliment without an inverse statement cancelling it.
There's something about Suzuki's that owners love. My brother's on his second swift sport, my parents on their second Vitara, the house up the road have a fleet of various models. I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something.
@@jonburnell53225/2 22. I quit Honda too when their dealer charged £15 (GBP) for a pair of wiper rubbers - not blades - in the 1990s. Within .5 mile l later found Halfords, a UK parts chain, could have supplied a complete set of wipers for around half that amount. Message recieved; 'We don't want your repeat business'.
@@peterallam6494 I found the service ok, but they do charge premium price for a middling product. For me though, it's only 3 years old and it's literally falling apart. Don't understand how they have such a good reputation for reliability.
@@jonburnell532 you will find plenty of unhappy owners of suzukis, its like all brands, just lucky. I was thinking of buying a vitara but have found many people slating them on quality. Modern cars have too many electonics which cause failure. If a manufacturer were allowed to produce a simple car i would buy one as i fix my own, but safety standards mean they cant. I think a lot newer cars will be prematurely scrapped due to cost of fixing them
Always nice to see and hear another review by Rebecca.🤩🥳🤗 This is obviously a Suzuki version of the GM / Chevrolet suv. It would have been for sale there as an Opel or Vauxhall before GM sold out to Pugeout.
@@oliverstemp9132 yeah... Pretty much But ugly in my opinion Own a 2015/16 S Cross The only thing which is a Problem with mine is the transmission Which is from fiat
I bought a S-cross hybrid this month. Drove my first 300 KM...Absolutely loved it. There is a manual mode available in the car, I never knew if that was possible. For the past 5 years, driving a Toyota Prius Automatic car forgot how to drive a manual. Today I was driving near Valkenburg, Netherlands. This place is nothing like Switzerland or in the mountains but my Scross struggled a bit. Is this because eco mode was on? Should I drive a manual mode in the mountains? what else I can do? I am excited ;)
Why oh why does it still have a manual handbrake?? I'm looking for a new motability car, this flaw immediately rules out the S Cross, I'm sticking with the Peugeot 3008
I definitely disagree as regards the exterior - the previous generation's front design looks a lot better than the new design. The previous generation had a design that made it look specialm whereas the new design just follows the contemporary trend of what SUV's look like. All molded in the same form.
A really weak review. I have driven this car in auto guise as a rental for a week. It’s got an incredible spec with all the bells and whistles included. Front and rear parking sensors, tick. Reversing camera, tick. Folding mirrors, tick. Blind spot warning on side mirrors, tick. It also keeps you in your lane effectively. The review does not mention any of its strong points. Also being a tall bloke with big feet, I can tell you that the foot space (at least on auto version) is really good. There is plenty of reach adjustment on the steering wheel. All the buttons on the steering wheel are in the right place so setting a speed limiter for instance is a doddle. I would still buy a Honda HRV if I was getting something in this segment, but you’re getting really good value for money with this car.
She’s thinking of hybrids able to drive on EV alone at normal speeds - none of the Toyota based hybrids can (except the Prius Plug-in and the RAV4 Prime)
1.5 seemed very noisy from the road and tyres to me on the motorway. Rev range in auto was a bit gutless with torque. It didn't like to rev. Cramped drivers area .Out of date buttons from a range of older models
The other SUVs you compared it with are apsolute crap take the a Suzuki any day we bought a Beleno GLX and l compared it to in the same price range except for the Mazda 2 the other two were crap the new MG and the Kia
Suzuki is one of the best car manufacturer in the world. Super reliability! I've done 70 000km with my -13 Swift and all I have done is a new battery, wipers, 3 bulbs and rear shocks. Not even brakepads! Thank you for a well made review. Maybe compare the top to the bottom models in the same range? Could it be worth the extra money?
@@johnDukemaster no it's same in India. Suzuki has 47% market share in India that means nearly half the cars on road are suzuki. Among the Suzukis 30% are swift and a sedan version of swift. He's talking about coffin because all the smaller Suzukis have poor safety rating. But still they sell because of super reliability , great mileage and very economic maintenance.
So what does suv stand for,got a old free lander,sixty grand on it,two litre diesel,had it for about eighteen years,always done the trick for log transporting n me springers,don’t need nothing newer at the moment,ha ha..
Rebecca isn't the only reviewer to mention their height and it's an interesting and rather confusing point. It's actually about your sitting height,not your standing height as the latter is sometimes not relevant. I'm 5 ft 7 in and looking at Rebecca's review of the Renault Kadjar, which I had up until recently,I noticed her head was just above the head rest in it's low setting whereas mine was no more than two thirds the way up with the same setting. Consequently I found I had visibility problems when negotiating confined places and when negotiating roundabouts as I couldn't easily see the centre curb. It also didn't help that the Kadjar was over a foot wider than my previous mk 2 Clio! Consequently I decided that this wasn't for me and went back to a conventional hatchback.I wonder if anybody else has had the same issue?
Short answer is no as there's no diesel and despite what Rebecca said I'd say the 1.4 turbo engine would be fairly gutless plus there's no mention in the review of its mpg.
Those 1.4 turbos are actually great. Plenty of power considering Suzukis are notoriously light. And actually more fuel efficient than the Non turbo 1.6 that came before it.
Actually the 1.4 engine is the best aspect of the car. It hardly needs to rev above 2k and is smooth, quiet and powerful. No complaints over the last four years and 50k miles. And I come from a 3 litre straight 6 diesel non turbo Mercedes followed by a BMW 3 litre 6 petrol turbo. Since the car is light the engine is perfectly matched.
Suzuki HU can not resolve the problem with a giant hornet into dashboard in all new cars as in myNew Suzuki Vitara: ruclips.net/video/pFGXs5zoLT0/видео.html
my friend mine do the same i fixed remove the vent and check the ventilation pipe for sure is touching the plastic inside just put a sponge or something soft between and 100% solved.
@@ziub368 no, it's your enemy. I seen a lot of videos of suzuki s cross, and your comment appear on each one. Hard job, isn't it? In one of them I explain how to fix that, but for you is easier trashing here
Well done for not mentioning, even in the final lineup, that this is basically a Toyota Corolla Cross rebadged by Suzuki as part of a collaboration on hybrids (same idea as the Mazda 2 hybrid being a rebadged Yaris). That’s why there’s no Diesel. It’s unfortunate that they kept the Toyota Panasonic infotainment which, while adequate, feels like it was designed in the 90s. At least you can have CarPlay and Android Auto (probably wired though)
You're probably confusing the Suzuki Across that's a rebadged Toyota RAV4. This S-Cross is the same SX4 S-Cross from 9years ago.They've just tweaked the exterior a bit and changed the infotainment system.
You probably think about german premium trio where all line up looks same..From c to s class,or monster kidney of bmw and with audi nothing new design..All they can is put bigger screen and made you pay for even basic equipment..
Why do they never mention reliability on these reviews the reliability of the Suzuki is far superior to any Nissan and a lot of other manufacturers
Not so actually 45thbout of 75 manufacturers

A really weak review. I have driven this car in auto guise as a rental for a week. It’s got an incredible spec with all the bells and whistles included. Front and rear parking sensors, tick. Reversing camera, tick. Folding mirrors, tick. Blind spot warning on side mirrors, tick. It also keeps you in your lane effectively. The review does not mention any of its strong points. Also being a tall bloke with big feet, I can tell you that the foot space (at least on auto version) is really good. There is plenty of reach adjustment on the steering wheel. All the buttons on the steering wheel are in the right place so setting a speed limiter for instance is a doddle. I would still buy a Honda HRV if I was getting something in this segment, but you’re getting really good value for money with this car.
Does it have double blower? AC for rear passenger. Too many reviewers ignore that.
Doesn't need it
@@ericbennik2071 I live in Indonesia where rear AC is needed.
Can't wait to see your review on the Dacia Jogger! Please do it!!!😅
If Suzuki is misleading by claiming it’s a hybrid what about the entire Prius range?
She’s thinking of hybrids able to drive on EV alone at normal speeds - none of the Toyota based hybrids can (except the Prius Plug-in and the RAV4 Prime)
@@Alessandro--- all the Toyota hybrids can drive using all electric power
Virtually every car maker has a mild hybrid version these days - so it's definitely not limited to Suzuki.
Toyota really are the masters when it comes to hybrids.
You're getting less headroom despite on 5.4 in height because your upper body length is more than normal.
I've watched croatian reviewer who's 6'4 and he fits normally in the backseat
I wish maruti suzuki india r lunch this car in India as soon as possible.love from Tihu nalbari Assam India ❤️
Why? Y’all get Grand Vitara there, a wayyy better car than S-Cross
1.5 seemed very noisy from the road and tyres to me on the motorway. Rev range in auto was a bit gutless with torque. It didn't like to rev.
Cramped drivers area .Out of date buttons from a range of older models
The other SUVs you compared it with are apsolute crap take the a Suzuki any day we bought a Beleno GLX and l compared it to in the same price range except for the Mazda 2 the other two were crap the new MG and the Kia
I want to book new scross and like the car kolkata
Why don't you ever check these cars can take a spare wheel, and not a stupid inflation kit.
Isn't this car built in the same platform as the Toyota RAV4?
Corolla Cross, not RAV4
@@graemewhitehead6233 seems pretty big for a corolla cross but I'll take your word for it
No, the suzuki across is based on the rav4
That would be a surprise, since they have a deal with GM. looks like their version of a Chevy sold in the states.
@@jrs9264 that deal was 20 years ago
Wish suzuki would make their interior plastics nicer. A minor whinge for a fantastic car
Suzuki is one of the best car manufacturer in the world. Super reliability! I've done 70 000km with my -13 Swift and all I have done is a new battery, wipers, 3 bulbs and rear shocks. Not even brakepads!
Thank you for a well made review. Maybe compare the top to the bottom models in the same range? Could it be worth the extra money?
Not in India though, except for few models we see it as running coffin !!
@@neelj5155 Strange🙄
@@johnDukemaster no it's same in India. Suzuki has 47% market share in India that means nearly half the cars on road are suzuki. Among the Suzukis 30% are swift and a sedan version of swift. He's talking about coffin because all the smaller Suzukis have poor safety rating. But still they sell because of super reliability , great mileage and very economic maintenance.
So what does suv stand for,got a old free lander,sixty grand on it,two litre diesel,had it for about eighteen years,always done the trick for log transporting n me springers,don’t need nothing newer at the moment,ha ha..

Has Rebecca ever made a car review video without mentioning that she's 5 foot, 4 and a half
Useful info for car buyers while talking interior
Rebecca isn't the only reviewer to mention their height and it's an interesting and rather confusing point. It's actually about your sitting height,not your standing height as the latter is sometimes not relevant. I'm 5 ft 7 in and looking at Rebecca's review of the Renault Kadjar, which I had up until recently,I noticed her head was just above the head rest in it's low setting whereas mine was no more than two thirds the way up with the same setting. Consequently I found I had visibility problems when negotiating confined places and when negotiating roundabouts as I couldn't easily see the centre curb. It also didn't help that the Kadjar was over a foot wider than my previous mk 2 Clio! Consequently I decided that this wasn't for me and went back to a conventional hatchback.I wonder if anybody else has had the same issue?
omg girl ur makeup is so santa clause elf style😂
No need for the Vitara now !
Loving the coat; red piping and jingly buttons!
The Suzuki, less so. Very derivative looking. Why not take some risks Suzuki?
I think it’s far too compromised in too many areas to be take seriously. It’ll be reliable and cheap though if that’s your priority.
EV
You only look 5’4”. I think your lying about that half inch
It’s a joke from the old CarBuyer videos in 2013, that’s also why she’s always got a banana in the glovebox.
Every half inch counts.
Heavy facelift not a new car 🚘
Suzuki have the worst design cars but very good engins
Short answer is no as there's no diesel and despite what Rebecca said I'd say the 1.4 turbo engine would be fairly gutless plus there's no mention in the review of its mpg.
Those 1.4 turbos are actually great. Plenty of power considering Suzukis are notoriously light. And actually more fuel efficient than the Non turbo 1.6 that came before it.
@@M4DRYD still wouldn't have one about me.
Actually the 1.4 engine is the best aspect of the car. It hardly needs to rev above 2k and is smooth, quiet and powerful. No complaints over the last four years and 50k miles. And I come from a 3 litre straight 6 diesel non turbo Mercedes followed by a BMW 3 litre 6 petrol turbo. Since the car is light the engine is perfectly matched.
Oh and 42 plus mpg
Quality is not on a par with the Honda crv. Engine is very thirsty, and fragile. Prone to head gasket failure
You are more beautiful than S cross😉
Suzuki HU can not resolve the problem with a giant hornet into dashboard in all new cars as in myNew Suzuki Vitara: ruclips.net/video/pFGXs5zoLT0/видео.html
my friend mine do the same i fixed
remove the vent and check the ventilation pipe for sure is touching the plastic inside just put a sponge or something soft between and 100% solved.
@@francmedic7917 Suzuki HU is your friend?
@@ziub368 no, it's your enemy.
I seen a lot of videos of suzuki s cross, and your comment appear on each one. Hard job, isn't it?
In one of them I explain how to fix that, but for you is easier trashing here
Well done for not mentioning, even in the final lineup, that this is basically a Toyota Corolla Cross rebadged by Suzuki as part of a collaboration on hybrids (same idea as the Mazda 2 hybrid being a rebadged Yaris). That’s why there’s no Diesel. It’s unfortunate that they kept the Toyota Panasonic infotainment which, while adequate, feels like it was designed in the 90s. At least you can have CarPlay and Android Auto (probably wired though)
It’s got nothing to do with Toyota, it’s the old S Cross with a redesigned body
You're probably confusing the Suzuki Across that's a rebadged Toyota RAV4.
This S-Cross is the same SX4 S-Cross from 9years ago.They've just tweaked the exterior a bit and changed the infotainment system.
@Alex! M It's got no relationship to Toyota. The S Cross is a purely Suzuki product.
This is the first Suzuki that I actually like👍. The rest of the line up are cheap and chintzy 🤮
The S-Cross is the only Suzuki car designed and engineered in Europe, that’s probably why
I think I'd rather go for Nissan kumquat. But it's ok. Of Suzuki's I'd sooner buy a Swift.
Suzuki know how to make ugly cars.
Wotever just a piece of metal..
You’re a bundle of laughs aren’t you roger????
Swan, no, and to be fair, not quite as ugly a duckling as it was before either.
The Former Suzuki S Cross is better than the new one.
The New one is ugly if seen from the back. The back lamp design is not attractive at all (Ugly).
Its dull and boring but does the Job if you want a compact suv
The most boring car to be released in 2022
Sasura naraaz lagay hay...! Menu to lagda hay yeh khud badsoorat hai 🤮
You probably think about german premium trio where all line up looks same..From c to s class,or monster kidney of bmw and with audi nothing new design..All they can is put bigger screen and made you pay for even basic equipment..
