The Nexa line of dealerships has their own color scheme with the showroom finished entirely in black and white. Maruti Suzuki has appointed existing dealers to open up NEXA showrooms and the cost of which will be borne by the dealers. In case a customer approaches a non-NEXA dealership for the purchase of the S-Cross and other premium products, he/she will be redirected to the nearest NEXA showroom. As of now, there are no dedicated service centres planned for NEXA vehicles, but there are plans of doing that in the pipeline. For now, regular service centres will be responsible for servicing and maintenance of these vehicles.
