Have you heard about Suzuki’s all new cross-over, the SX4 S-Cross? I was reading up about Suzuki’s first 'C’ segment Crossover model and was impressed by the initial specs and extra offerings, such as the world’s first double sliding panoramic glass sunroof and will be available in four grades; SZ3, SZ4, SZ-T and SZ5 with all four equipped with seven airbags and ESP as standard. The SX4 S-Cross made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show and the new model will be built at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary. I haven’t seen the SX4 S-Cross in person yet, but what caught my interest after reading the latest press release about this stylised vehicle was the optionally available continuously variable transmission (CVT) for the 1.6-litre petrol engine, which extends the range of gear ratios for an impressive combination of acceleration and hill-climbing performance.

Renault is once again announcing some rather inspiring new crossovers. Fast on the heels of the Captur's unveiling, they have redesigned the Scénic as a crossover and reveal the New Scénic XMOD. Exciting stuff. Renault's newly released details on the New Grand Scénic say, "it has been restyled to take on Renault’s new design identity. The Renault logo at the front is now bigger and set against a gloss black background that emphasises the new grille. Elegant lines and high-quality materials also help to enhance the MPV’s dynamic, family-oriented feel." Now for the New Scénic XMOD, Renault defines it as a combination of the outdoor cues of a crossover with the refined world of an MPV. It will retain the key features found in the original Scénic but, with raised ground clearance and special alloy wheels, the car features an expressive crossover-inspired design: special front and rear bumpers, sill guards and chrome-finish roof bars across the range.
