  • Uses existing 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine
  • Just two grades on offer from launch, no hybrid power
  • Priced from $40,490 before on-road costs

The new 2023 Suzuki S-Cross has arrived in Australia, and goes on sale today from $40,490 before on-road costs.

The new model lineup consists of two grades: the base Allgrip and top-spec Allgrip Prestige – swapping over from the previous Turbo and Turbo Prestige nameplates.

The small SUV retains the same 1.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol as found in the previous generation mated to a six-speed auto gearbox, but upgrades to solely all-wheel drive, with front-wheel drive no longer offered.

New for MY23 are a host of technological and safety enhancements, as well as revised looks inside and out.

At the front, the S-Cross does away with the old chrome-slatted grille and replaces it with a piano black diamond lattice one instead. Also joining the improved grille are new headlights mounted higher up for a bolder look, as well as squared-off wheel arches and silver garnishes on the bumpers.

Meanwhile at the rear, it adopts new tail-lights and plating across the tailgate, in addition to a squarer, flatter look with the reflectors appearing more prominently in the bumper than before now that they're accompanied by rear parking sensors.

The S-Cross is wider and longer than before too, offering more space inside and new features such as a 9-inch display, wireless Apple Carplay, and a 360-view camera to name just a few.

Engine, transmission, fuel economy and dimensions
