Maruti Suzuki slashes S-Cross prices by INR 2 lakh

Maruti Suzuki has cut the price of its premium crossover S-Cross by over Rs 2 lakh after failing to gain traction in the market. The cut in the price of 1.6 litre variant is Rs 2,05 lakh for all the three trims, while that of 1.3 litre variant ranges from Rs 40,000 to Rs 66,000.

The company had introduced the S-Cross in two options of 1.6 litre and 1.3 litre engines last year coinciding with the launch of its premium retail outlet chain Nexa. However, sales of the vehicle were hindered by pricing issues.

However, as per the latest price list on the company's website, the slashing of price is also applicable on the 1.3 litre variant.
