New S-cross is mated to tried and tested engine which means lower maintain cost and highly trustable. It has striking exteriors. One of the biggest reason I bought it is it's safety features like it's dusl front airbags, pedestrian protection compliance, abs with ebd, etc. All these can save one's life in case of accident. Due to smart SHVS system mileage has gone from 23.6 kmpl to almost 25 kmpl . It is highly rigid and low weight body structured car and according to all these comforts and features it didn't seem costly to me and I bought it happily.
