Maruti S Cross has always been a premium selling car for the Indian carmaker. And ever since it was first launched with its usual 1.6L DDiS unit, it became popular. Well, it failed first because India was not yet ready for a powerful and expensive car. Then came in facelift which played well with the looks and included more features. The usual 1.3L diesel was the most popular and made an affordable choice. However, there were still some who picked the punchy 1.6L one and then came in the enthusiasts who tastefully modified the Maruti S Cross.
