In the rapidly expanding family SUV market, the Suzuki S-Cross offers a secure and modest option. In addition to the Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan, SEAT Ateca, and Ford Kuga, its most frequently mentioned rivals are the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage.
The Suzuki S-Cross was only offered with a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder, mild hybrid petrol engine that produced 129 horsepower when it was first introduced in 2021. However, Suzuki introduced a fully hybrid S-Cross in early 2022, using the same 1.5-liter system as the Vitara Hybrid, in an attempt to increase the car's desirability in comparison to its quickly electrified competitors.
A 1.5-liter full hybrid and a 1.4-liter mild hybrid are your two powerplant options. The former has front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and a manual gearbox as standard.
Suzuki S-Cross Fuel Consumption
Officially, the four-wheel drive vehicle is supposed to get 47.8 mpg, while the front-wheel drive manual will get 53.2 mpg. Regardless of how we drove it, we managed to get an average of about 44 mpg throughout the six months we had our four-wheel drive Suzuki S-Cross. That's excellent work.
According to Suzuki, the complete hybrid vehicle will get 48.7 mpg when driving with four wheels and 54.3 mpg when driving with front wheels. However, during our time with the car, we extracted nearly identical data as we did from the mild hybrid, so any improvements are extremely slight.
Given the significant performance loss you'll incur, we don't think the full hybrid system is worth the additional money. It's probably best to drive more cautiously and stick with the mild hybrid.
The fact that the only engine option is a reasonably efficient one is fortunate. The Suzuki S-Cross's low kerbweight, which is on par with smaller family hatchbacks, is to blame.
When paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive, the 1.4-liter Boosterjet engine will achieve an amazing 53.2 mpg on the WLTP cycle. Of that number, the typical 48-volt mild hybrid system likely accounts for a few miles per gallon.
Choosing four-wheel drive lowers the total fuel economy to 47.8 mpg. Even though the automatic's fuel economy drops to 46.3 mpg, those numbers are still better than those of many comparable competitors.
The fuel consumption of the Suzuki S-Cross is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Suzuki S-Cross variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Suzuki S-Cross in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Suzuki S-Cross is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
