Maruti XL6 modified

Maruti Suzuki recently launched the XL6 premium MPV in India. This new 6 seater MPV is based on Ertiga, but is offered as a more premium variant. This is why it is being retailed at Nexa and not Arena dealers.

XL6 is offered in two trim levels – Zeta and Alpha. Both are powered by a petrol engine option, that also powers the Ertiga and Ciaz. Priced between Rs 9. 79 lakhs and Rs 11. 46 lakhs, it has been noting good sales despite the slowdown across the sector. Waiting period in some cities has extended upto 8 weeks.

Basically, XL6 is Ertiga with cosmetic updates. XL6 looks bigger, wider and much more macho than the Ertiga. This is thanks to body cladding, new front new bumpers, etc. But the tires and alloys remain the same as seen on Ertiga, which is 185 / R 15. This makes the tires look puny in comparison to the overall structure of the XL6.
