Suzuki S-Cross Lease Deals

Why Lease a Suzuki S-Cross?

Two things make the S-Cross worth a look. The first is ALLGRIP SELECT, a proper selectable four wheel drive system rather than a badge, which at this size and price is genuinely uncommon. The second is the warranty, which can run to ten years or 100,000 miles if you keep servicing it in the Suzuki network, and that is the longest cover of almost anything in the class.

It is also a 430 litre boot on a car only 4,305mm long, with 175mm of ground clearance. Being straight with you, the S-Cross is late in its life and Suzuki has an electric replacement coming, which is part of why leasing suits it: you get the car without owning its residual value. Two specification points below have changed recently and are still being reported wrongly elsewhere, so they are worth reading. If the age of the design puts you off, the Renault Captur and the Peugeot 2008 are newer takes on the same size of car.

How Powerful Is the Suzuki S-Cross?

This is one of the two figures worth checking carefully, because it has changed and a lot of sites have not caught up.

The 1.4 Boosterjet now produces 109bhp, badged MHEV 109, having been detuned from the previous 129PS when the Euro 6e emissions standard arrived. Torque is 235Nm at 2,000rpm, which is the figure that actually matters day to day and is unchanged. If you see 127bhp or 129PS quoted for an S-Cross, that is the older car and it is wrong for anything you can order now. Every figure on this page comes from Suzuki's own dated 2026 model year document.

Worth noticing that the automatic is over a second quicker to 62mph despite the same engine, but it costs you 3.6mpg and 11g/km. Across the whole lineup economy runs from 46.3 to 52.3mpg and CO2 from 121 to 141g/km, with ALLGRIP adding about 69kg to a manual car and taking its share of both.

Is the Suzuki S-Cross a Full Hybrid?

No, and this is the second point where other sites will mislead you. The S-Cross is a 48 volt mild hybrid, and a mild hybrid is a different thing from a full hybrid. It cannot drive on electricity alone. The small motor assists the engine when pulling away, allows the engine to switch off earlier when you slow down, and recovers energy under braking, which is where the efficiency comes from.

Suzuki did offer a 1.5 litre full hybrid S-Cross, and it has been withdrawn. Suzuki's own current range page lists mild hybrid only, and so do the dealer feeds. Some sites still list the 1.5, so if that is the car you were looking for, it is no longer orderable. If a full hybrid is what you want, say so and we will show you what else is available, and if you want fully electric then the e Vitara is Suzuki's own answer. The Swift is also a mild hybrid, though a 12 volt system rather than this car's 48 volt one, so the S-Cross gets the more capable of the two.

What Is Suzuki ALLGRIP SELECT and Which S-Cross Has It?

ALLGRIP SELECT is a four wheel drive system with driver selectable modes, and it is the main reason to look at an S-Cross over a front wheel drive crossover. It comes with Ultra trim and above, including the Kuro special edition, in both manual and automatic form.

If four wheel drive is what you came for, that means Ultra is your starting point rather than the entry Motion. Worth knowing what else moves with that decision: Motion does without the 9.0 inch touchscreen, satellite navigation, the 360 degree camera and the panoramic roof, all of which arrive further up the range. So the trim choice is a bigger step on this car than on many, and it is worth going through properly. Four wheel drive also adds around 69kg, which costs a little economy and a little CO2.

Suzuki S-Cross Boot Space and Dimensions

430 litres is a strong figure for a car of this length, better than several more fashionable rivals, and the 1,785mm width makes it easy to place on a narrow road. The 175mm ground clearance paired with real four wheel drive is what makes this a sensible choice if you use farm tracks or unmade lanes rather than just looking as though you might.

One note on towing, because you will find two figures. The current braked limit is 1,200kg, with 600kg unbraked. Suzuki's 2022 launch brochure quoted 1,500kg, and that older figure is still circulating, but it predates the engine change and the current specification says 1,200kg. If you tow close to either number, let us confirm it against the exact derivative before you order.

How Safe Is the Suzuki S-Cross?

We want to be honest with you here, because what you will read elsewhere is wrong.

The current S-Cross has not been tested by Euro NCAP. There is no star rating for it. What some sites and even some dealer pages still advertise is a five star rating from 2013, which belonged to the previous SX4 S-Cross, a different car, and that rating has since expired in any case. If you see five stars and percentage scores of 92, 80, 72 and 81 attached to an S-Cross, those are the old car's numbers being recycled. We are not going to repeat them, because presenting another car's expired result as this car's current one would be misleading. If an independent safety rating is important to your decision, ask us and we will tell you which cars in the class hold a current one.

What Is the Suzuki S-Cross Like Inside?

Functional rather than fashionable, and reviewers have not been kind. Auto Express found the interior "isn't plush" and feels dated, the infotainment slow and awkward, and the 9.0 inch touchscreen smaller than rivals offer. Equipment you might expect is absent: no electric seat adjustment, no fully digital instrument cluster and no automatic high beam assist anywhere in the range.

Space in the back is adequate rather than generous, with rear legroom on the tight side, and the Ultra's panoramic roof takes some headroom with it, so if tall passengers sit in the back regularly that is worth trying before you choose that trim. The steering is light with little feedback, which makes it easy in town and uninvolving on a good road. If a modern cabin and a slick screen matter more to you than four wheel drive and a ten year warranty, this is not the car, and we would rather say so now than after you have signed.

Suzuki S-Cross Warranty: Up to Ten Years

This is the S-Cross's strongest card and it is widely misunderstood. The standard warranty is 3 years or 60,000 miles, which is ordinary. What follows it is not.

Suzuki's Service Activated Warranty is free and starts automatically when the standard warranty ends. It then renews at every qualifying service at an authorised Suzuki dealer, up to a maximum of 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. It transfers to a new owner, and Suzuki widened eligibility so that privately bought cars, and cars with gaps in their dealer service history, can still qualify. Suzuki extended the scheme from seven years to ten from May 2025. There is also a 12 year perforation warranty against corrosion.

On a three or four year personal lease you sit comfortably inside the standard cover anyway, so the ten year scheme matters most if you later buy the car or hand it on. On a business lease, 121g/km on the manual is competitive for a four wheel drive capable SUV, though the bands move each tax year so take the current position from your accountant.
