Great review😊 My uncle bought a new 2018 S-cross 1.4 turbo auto 4x4 on my recommendation, and he is very! happy with it, superb car all year round, especially during winter time here in Norway, and it is a quick car as well, and with the well known Suzuki reliability👍, cheers from New subs
Thank you for the kind words and subscribing too, yes it’s very capable vehicle, and fun in the right hands, and yes reliable and can venture further than you’d think, enjoy *B
Nice review. I bought it 2021. In Indonesia there's no sunroof, 1.5 engine, no turbojet, no hill start assist, but it's ok, it still very interesting car. Very efficient in petrol consumpsion, also comfort enough.
Thanks for your thorough and entertaining review. This car sounds like great value for money, practical for a family with children (I'm due with my third child any day now), and a fun no nonsense drive.
I have the 1,4 booster jet with 140 up (no mild hybrid). It's a great car, fun to drive, spacious, practical and most likely reliable. I bought the 2wd with manual transmission and it is really nippy. Also the steering is excellent. Overall, in my perspective that is the best value for money car in this price range.
Loved this comprehensive review, visited my local Suzuki dealer in Inverness the morning, I`m tossing between the S Cross and the Vitara, both great cars. Japanese cars are perfect for the UK as they also drive on the left, no small glove box issues like European cars, they just make sense and offer more value. This video has moved be towards the S Cross ALLGRIP, thanks.
Interesting review, very informative and well made, much appreciated. Where I live it comes as a 4x4 auto GL version with the old 1.6L for about 17k GBP and with the hybrid 4x4 auto 1.4L in GLX trim for just under 20K GBP. This is now about the only small SUV with auto and 4x4, especially as Honda's newer H-RV is two wheel drive. 4x4 is a must here in Ukraine as winter can be extreme, poor roads and road clearing by snow plough hit and miss. The GLX Jimny auto is 22k GBP, still in the four seater version, although the wait time is 12-14 months.
Great review! This is one of those good cars that flies under most radars because it comes from a niche (in the UK market at least) manufacturer. Suzuki are a strange manufacturer, some of their super econoboxes are not at all nice but then other Suzuki's are excellent. The Ignis is probably one of the most unfairly overlooked and under rated cars on the market and the Jimny is a bit of an automotiveicon. The adventuring aspect is interesting as unless you really are going into the wilds on an expedition you can get as far as 99.99% of people will ever need or want to go with a car like 4x4 like this. When I lived in Cumbria I drove a Subaru Legacy estate, just the regular estate and not the Outback, and it was great for light off road use and dealing with winter.
Thanks John - glad you liked it! We agree - there is so much to like about the S-Cross, and we’ve seen the same around here with the ASX and the XV...they seem to be the weapon of choice for The Lakes We hope you enjoyed the Cumbrian scenery 😎
Hope your both well ive had a good bit of snow to get about in it is the best car ive ever had and your review helped me choose it i wont drive anything other than a suzuki now and i tell you sport mode is naughty But handling in rough weather is superb Take care regards adrian
Hi Adrian - that’s great to hear. It’s great, we found it remarkably agile as well. We proved a farmer wrong who swore blind we wouldn’t be able to take up a green lane but Ben knew it would handle it with ease (which it did) 👍 *A
Something I can't find in any video about this car. How do you connect with Android auto. Using a usb cable or is it wireless. As far as I could find there is only a usb cable connection in the middle armrest?
Hey. Nice review. Very systematically explained. We in India get a 1.5 engine normally aspirated. No turbo. No allgrip. A mild hybrid though. Wish we had this 1.4 turbo. Anyways. Wish you lots of luck with your channel.loved your friendly banter.
Thank you Dr Kamal for the kind words, it’s interesting to hear what other features, models etc other car markets offer, its strange you get MHEV yet no allgrip or Turbo, wishing you a fulfilling happy day. *B
@@PlanetautoUK Thanks for the kind reply. And yes it is quite strange, but then the price too is in the range of equivalent of about 10,000 pounds. So I guess in order to keep prices down in a sensitive market, Suzuki downplayed a few cards.
even better is the automatic. proper torque converter 6 speed. Suzuki usually do incredible discounts so I would ignore the list price, just ask. And even, even better by a nearly new one. We did and are so happy with our 2016 updated version. People at times say they're ugly. Great do less people think about buying them, so the price is lower still. It's a car in the UK that is 'under the radar' a secret only known, to those in the know ....
As i told you about 3 months back i purchaed my suzuki s cross sz5 hyybrid i got it on motability im really not well i got it after watching your video Well its been stunning very easy to get in and out of which with my problems is great and for my back is marvellous there is so much tech to help you its great i havent learnt it all yet the fuel consumption is very good weve had plenty snow in darwen as i bet you hàve in cumbria it performed great as for motor way very good and sport mode is naughty what can you say about this car it is a fantastic vehicle its got it all to be honest its unbelievable you two made my choice your video helped me make my choice And i thank you One question what actually happens when you put it in sport mode what does it do to the car Again thank you you 2 are marvellous you come across weĺl and your very informative although ive got my car i love to watch your vids what are your own personal vehicles Thank you regards adrian Keep safe god bless you both
Thank you, @indiana146 - so glad our review helped. 👍 We’ve got three - a Mercedes Benz W124, a Honda Civic EJ9, and our Mk2 16v Golf is in the process of being restored at the moment. In answer to your question regarding sport mode, you get more torque to the rear wheels, and sharper throttle response.
No I have no clue my wife does these! (Says Ben) Joking aside, Ben is my carer, and all support avenues know what we do, and support the small amount of work I can actually do.*A

Hello Hyena, I prefer the S Cross, there was something that just clicked with me, both are very good though, we just need to experience the other new powertrains and models now, thank you Hyena *B
Sorry, dude, SX4 is much better in all the ways! I'm just coming back from Suziki showroom and I have preordered my SX4. I went there with all the specs of Vitara Hybrid in my head, even 6th gear number, not even looked at those of SX4. I have a hip joint replacement, so the front entry size is very important to me. Tried to get into Vitara easily - no luck. Tried to SX4 - as expected, thought the 3 cm difference in height. Pump the driver seat to max height - again success. Inside of S CROSS - much more luxury view, air vents of Vitara looks like Dacia's ones, just compare them. The clearance is only 5 mm lower. I'm an old off-road man - fishing, hunting, gold prospecting, etc. Believe me - it is better than Vitara. And in Bulgaria - they are already out of stock, not the same to Vitaras. Wish you merry Christmas and happy new year. To @Planetauto - thank you very much, both of you, next time share what you have for lunch :)

Just a quick question, if you don't mind my asking, but does your carer know you make these videos?
No I have no clue my wife does these! (Says Ben)

Why don't they introduce the same over in India?Rear AC vent is a must in such a long vehicle.
It’s amazing what differs in specs from country to country.
Why? to cook flesh in the sun?
Sir, u must know its ac is so good ....it dosnt need a rear one....
It comes to 22lack rupees.will Indians buy this instead of creta

Didn't know you could get adaptive cruise control in a manuel thought that was only in automatics
