Mumbai: Nexa dealers offering Maruti S-Cross with discounts of Rs 5.5 lakh

Maruti Suzuki S-Cross front quarter (1)

Maruti started the year 2016 with the launch of the Dzire AMT sedan and the car, similar to its other variants, is likely to receive a good response. On the other hand, however, the company seems to be struggling with its premium crossover, the S-Cross, and hasn’t been able to achieve the anticipated response. The crossover, according to a report, could not achieve the expected sales numbers and thus has forced the NEXA dealerships to offer heavy discounts of as much as Rs 5.5 lakh.

The aforementioned discount is valid for the 1.6 litre diesel engine powered DDiS 320 variant of the S-Cross. Reports also suggest that this new cross-over has a high number of unsold units with the company and the dealers.

The crossover was launched in August 2015 at a steep price tag of Rs 8.34 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). Dealerships were offering discounts of Rs 1 lakh barely a few months into the launch. To counter the low sales, Maruti Suzuki even introduced a special edition of the car known as Premia, although the move didn’t make much of a difference in terms of sales.

Hope doesn’t seem to have been lost yet as Maruti Suzuki is readying a new compact SUV for the market, the Vitara Brezza, the sketch of which was unveiled last week. Reported to be a sub 4-metre vehicle, the Vitara Brezza is expected to reach Indian shores after the upcoming 2016 Auto Expo and is likely to lock horns against the TUV 300 and Ford Ecosport.

Do you feel Maruti Suzuki is being highly ambitious with respect to the premium segment? Would you, as a consumer go for a 10 lakh+ vehicle from the company? Tell us your views through the comments section.

  1. above all , the most important point to take care off is ,that how a dealer is able to provide a dicount of 5.5 lac rs. That means if this point is true , dealers were getting handsome amount by selling this vehicle. IF this is true than Maruti is a big cheater, cheating public.

    Maruti is in a mess. New cars has not proper response, and not able to handle customers for all time hit car like swift. Even after 2 months of booking, is not able to deliver swift vxi because of new cars production. Hell…

  3. A company revered to and made a name for itself by selling compact cars at dirt cheap price, cannot suddenly wake up one day decide to price a car at such a high price and still have less features then competition. The looks are subjective but yes, it got looks that only it's mother will like. On the flip side, look at the success Hyundai Creta has seen. It's been flying of the shelf at break neck speed. And still in demand. People are willing to pay the premium price for that product. Guess Maruti should take a leaf outa Hyundai's product design n implement it.

  4. Maruti cars are infamous for their lack of security. And their designs are the worst among cars like Renault kwid and Mahindra kuv100, and the likes.
