Insurance Group 22, The Suzuki SCross 1.4 Boosterjet MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is a compact crossover SUV (since 2022) known for its practical, nononsense approach to family transport, combining decent performance with respectable fuel economy. It uses a 48volt mildhybrid system to boost efficiency, providing electric assistance to the petrol engine. Key Features and Performance Engine: 1.4litre Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine (K14D). Power: 129hp (127bhp) and a punchy 235Nm of torque. MildHybrid System: 48volt lithiumion battery and Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). 062mph: 9.5 seconds (manual). Efficiency: Returns over 50mpg, often averaging 4553mpg in realworld driving. Drivetrain: Available with 2WD or Suzuki's "AllGrip" 4WD system. Driving and Handling Performance: The engine acts more like a diesel, offering high torque at low revs, making it very responsive around town and comfortable on the motorway. Ride Quality: The suspension is soft, absorbing potholes and speed bumps, but can feel a bit unsettled over highspeed sharp impacts. Handling: Predictable and safe, but not as agile or fun to drive as competitors like the Ford Puma. Noise: Can be coarse under heavy acceleration, with some wind and road noise at motorway speeds. Interior and Practicality Interior: Known as honest and functional, with an oldschool feel using hard plastics rather than luxurious materials. Dashboard: Simple, easytouse physical switches and knobs, with a 7inch touchscreen on Motion trim or 9inch on Ultra. Space: Surprisingly spacious for its size, with good rear legroom for a compact crossover and a 430litre boot. Equipment: Wellequipped from base "Motion" trim, including LED headlights, heated seats, parking sensors, and a rearview camera.
