Suzuki S-Cross2023

• Hybrid efficiency and low running costs make this an attractive choice for Irish daily commutes; CVT does deliver smooth motorway cruising when functioning normally.
• Priced fairly for current market; median €25,900 sits mid-range for 3-year-old hybrid crossovers, but limited active stock (3 cars) means less negotiation room.
• CVT shuddering at low speeds is the main known weak spot—test drive extensively in urban traffic before committing. Mild-hybrid capacitor failures are rare but expensive if they occur.
• Before purchase, request full service history and ask dealer to demonstrate smooth CVT engagement from standstill; also check DPF warning light status and verify regular motorway use to rule out carbon buildup.
• NI import saves ~€5,026 before VRT; factor in registration and tax costs—savings often shrink to €2,000–€3,000 net after all levies applied.
