Maruti's most expensive car, S-Cross, crosses its first major milestone
It was after a long gap
Maruti came up with a product that was priced well above Rs 1 million mark
S-Cross,
the most expensive vehicle from Maruti Suzuki, has managed to cross a milestone
of 50,000 units in sales. Launched in August 2015, the vehicle had seen an
initial phase of weakness due to its pricing and competition from Hyundai’s
Creta, launched days before S-Cross.

January 2016, price was corrected to Rs 9.94 lakh, Rs 10.94 lakh and Rs 11.69
lakh, respectively. S Cross now comes in the price range of Rs 8.07 lakh to Rs
10.64 lakh for the 1.3 litre engine and at Rs 12.04 lakh for the 1.6 litre
