Suzuki S Cross rear three quarters 300x187 imageSuzuki claims the four-wheel-drive S-Cross concept has one of the largest cargo areas in its class, but hasn’t released any powertrain details. Suzuki says the S-Cross concept will sip fuel and be fun to drive like the Swift and Kizashi. As for that Crystal Green Metallic color, Suzuki says the hue helps evoke “nature in the city and the city in nature.”

A bold character line just below the greenhouse contributes to the S-Cross concept’s bold look. LED headlights flank a mesh front grille up front while LED taillights and the rearward swooping roofline provide a muscular feel. The tough look is enhanced by a front skidplate, flared wheel wells, and 20-inch wheels. At just under 170 inches long with a 102.4-inch wheelbase the Suzuki S-Cross concept is smaller than the Mazda CX-5 SUV, but larger than the Mini Countryman and Nissan Juke.
