The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross BS6 petrol is likely to be launched in May 2020. The launch was initially scheduled in the month of April, but has now been postponed due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The S-Cross petrol is expected to be offered in four variants - Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. The car is unlikely to receive any cosmetic updates. However, it is expected to get an updated touchscreen infotainment head-unit.

The S-Cross is expected to be offered with a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a mild-hybrid system. The same engine is available in the Ciaz, Ertiga and Vitara Brezza where it produces 103 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm @ 4,400 rpm. Maruti Suzuki might offer a 5-speed manual transmission in the S-Cross as standard, while a 4-speed automatic gearbox could be available as an option.
