The Maruti S-cross will compete directly with Hyundai’s soon-to-be-launched Creta, the Renault Duster and the Nissan Terrano. Considering the features offered across the trim levels of the S-cross, it is clear that Maruti has its sights set on Hyundai. The Korean automaker has a reputation of equipping its car’s with a long list of features, but it looks like the S-Cross won’t disappoint in this department either.
