Suzuki S-Cross now available as full hybrid
September 22, 2022
The Suzuki S-Cross is now available with full hybrid technology that helps lower CO2 emissions and improves fuel consumption even further than the current mild hybrid with automatic transmission.
Full hybrid technology
The system consists of a 140V lithium-ion battery and inverter, Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 12V lithium-ion battery and a conventional 12V lead-acid battery to power components requiring lower voltage such as lights, instruments, heating and air-conditioning.
Selectable hybrid modes
The new hybrid system has two switchable modes – Eco and Standard – which enables the driver to change between the two modes depending on conditions and increases the frequency of EV driving.
MGU
The MGU acts as a generator and starter motor and assists the petrol engine during vehicle take off. The high-performance lithium-ion battery stores electrical energy recovered from deceleration and braking and incorporates an idle stop function operated via the integrated starter generator. Based on engine speed and throttle position, the engine ECU judges when the driver will accelerate then uses the electric motor to add additional torque.
The hybrid system collects kinetic energy and generates electricity by stopping the engine and disengaging the clutch during deceleration, which increases the EV driving range. As a full hybrid, the S-Cross can run solely on its electric motor for short distances.
Transmission
The S-Cross full hybrid comes equipped with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) that automatically shifts the manual transmission and gear ratios to help provide a good combination of performance and fuel economy. AGS enables the driver to enjoy both the direct driving experience of a manual gearbox and the shifting ease of an automatic transmission. The transmission also has a manual mode with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
One notable feature of the latest hybrid system with AGS is the position of the MGU on the output side of the transmission assembly. As a result, power from the MGU is directly transmitted to the driveshafts to fill the torque gap during shifting and provides a smoother transition from the transmission.
CO2 emissions
Thanks to full hybrid technology, high tensile steel and other weight-saving measures in the body, S-Cross CO2 emissions are low (118g/km) with an impressive combined fuel economy of 53mpg.
ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive
Suzuki’s ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive system is available as an option on the Ultra model and incorporates four selectable drive modes – Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock – for safe, enjoyable driving on diverse surfaces.
Specification highlights
Standard equipment is comprehensive with the entry-level Motion model featuring: dual-zone auto air conditioning, heated front seats, keyless entry and start, 17″ silver alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, rear parking camera and a “7 inch touchscreen display. Moving up to the top-spec Ultra you get a larger 9″ diplay, 17” polished alloy wheels, 360 view camera, panoramic sunroof, leather seats and the availability of ALLGRIP 4WD as an option.
A high level of safety specification comes as standard including, LED headlights and rear combination lights, dual sensor brake support (AEB), lane departure warning and prevention, traffic sign recognition, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitor and eCall.
Suzuki Connect
Initially available in S-Cross, Suzuki Connect enables owners to use convenient connected services via the smartphone app, including notifications about the vehicle status in retail time, remotely lock the car, view driving information and the location of their parked vehicle. Diagnostic information can be seamlessly shared with the dealership, allowing for faster and more comprehensive aftersales support.

Suzuki steps up its self-charging hybrid models
December 13, 2019
In line with continued plans to further reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy across its range of vehicles, Suzuki GB PLC is excited to introduce three 48-Volt Self-Charging Hybrid equipped derivatives to its range in Spring 2020 which will also include the launch of the new K14D Boosterjet petrol engine.
The new Hybrid Powertrain will be introduced for Swift Sport, Vitara and S-Cross models and offer up to 20 per cent lower CO2 emissions, a greater level of torque and 15 per cent overall improvement in WLTP Combined fuel consumption. These models will directly replace the current 1.4-litre Boosterjet derivatives with manual transmission.
Similar in basic principle to the 12V Hybrid SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) system that Suzuki pioneered in 2016 and fitted to all manual transmission models in the Ignis range and Swift SZ5 models, the newly developed 48V Hybrid Powertrain remains very lightweight in design and the components add less than 15kg to the overall weight of the vehicle.
The new and higher-powered Suzuki SHVS system consists of a 48V lithium-ion battery, Integrated Starter Generator (known as ISG) and 48V-12V (DC/DC) converter to power components requiring lower voltage including lights, audio and air conditioning. The ISG acts as both a generator and starter motor, is belt driven and assists the petrol engine during vehicle take off for a higher level of torque with 235Nm available from 2,000rpm.
The compact and high-performance lithium-ion battery stores electrical energy recovered from deceleration and braking and incorporates an idle stop function operated via the Integrated Starter Generator. This battery, along with the DC/DC convertor unit, are located under the front seats to assist overall weight distribution.
A further benefit of the new 48V Hybrid system is the introduction of electric motor idling when the clutch is disengaged and the engine speed is approximately 1,000rpm. This feature essentially replaces fuel injection with power from the electric motor to then control and maintain engine idling at vehicle speeds below 10mph and when stationary.
This function therefore eliminates fuel consumption under these conditions as engine momentum is electrically controlled by the ISG unit and the car is ready to re-accelerate on request with no engine restart delay.
Further detail and full specifications of the three new Hybrid models will be announced in advance of media and public launch which is planned for March 2020.
