Early Maruti Suzuki S-Cross buyers get refund

Pre price cut buyers of the Maruti S-Cross 1.6 get Rs. 90,000 cash back and free extended warranty

As avid autoX readers will tell you, prices of the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross were slashed in January 2016 owing to slow demand that saw sales at a low 2,000 units for the month of December 2016. The cut in prices was a severe one that saw prices of the 1.3 litre engined variants being slashed up to Rs. 66,000 while the bigger 1.6 litre engined model saw a flat drop in prices of Rs. 2.5 lakh!

While this is all well and good sales of the Maruti S-Cross have indeed priced up to 2,524 units in February 2016, its fair to say the owners who bought an S-Cross (especially 1.6 buyers) before the price cut felt the pinch.

However, Maruti Suzuki has addressed this issue by writing a cheque worth Rs. 90,000 to all those owners who bought an S-Cross 1.6 at full price. Along with the cash back, Maruti is also offering a free 2 year / 20,000 km Maintenance Cost Protect extended warranty package for free on all pre price cut S-Cross 1.6 units sold.

Having gauged feedback from owners on this issue, it is fair to say that none of them were expecting this gesture from Maruti Suzuki. All of them are very impressed as this is the first time any car maker in India has extended a gesture of this sort. The move goes a long way for Maruti Suzuki as such activities have the potential of hiking brand loyalty.
