Petrol Engine Review
- The Verna has a more powerful engine than the S-Cross.
- Both of Verna's engines produce more torque than the S-Cross's and they both give the Verna better torque-to-weight ratio too.
- With the turbo petrol, the Verna will have better drivability. But the SCross hybrid may have similar or better drivability than the Verna non-turbo as it has off-peak torque assist from the electric motor.
- The two cars are similarly fuel-efficient. For its size, the S Cross doesn’t seem to offer enough benefits of the hybrid tech as it promises respectable but not groundbreaking mileage.
