The Maruti Suzuki XL6 2025 continues as a refined crossover-styled MPV offering six seats with second-row captain chairs. Positioned above the Ertiga but below the Grand Vitara, it targets families seeking comfort, spaciousness, and feature-rich exclusivity under ₹15 lakh.
Updated Pricing & Trim Levels
In April 2025, Maruti raised XL6 prices by ₹12,500 across all trims—now ranging between ₹11.83 lakh and ₹14.99 lakh (ex-showroom). These include the Zeta, Alpha, and Alpha+ variants with both manual and automatic transmission options.
Design & Interior Layout
Built on the Heartect platform shared with Ertiga, the XL6 differentiates itself with SUV-inspired styling—blacked-out pillars, roof rails, dual-tone exteriors, and a more premium stance. Despite sharing many internal components with Ertiga, it offers a unique driving experience with captain seats in the second row for enhanced comfort.
Engine, Efficient Power & Mileage
Power comes from a 1.5 L DualJet petrol engine with mild-hybrid tech, available in 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. Real-world mileage for petrol models is around 20–21 km/l, while the CNG variant delivers around 28–30 km/kg. CNG versions are only available with manual transmission.
Comfort, Handling & Ride Experience
XL6 delivers a smooth ride and composed handling on both city streets and highways. Turning radius is tight, making it easy to maneuver despite its size. However, rear suspension is somewhat firm, especially over speed breakers. It handles well even when fully loaded with six occupants and luggage.
Real-World Feedback: Highlights & Limitations
Owners praise the XL6 for spaciousness, especially in the second-row captain seats, and its capability on long drives. Common downsides include modest foglamp output, average audio experience, and basic rear brakes (drum in all trims). Some users mention lack of leather seats and ventilated seating in non-top trims.
Safety & Feature Highlights
Although not the segment‑leader in safety, the XL6 comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX mounts. Higher trims include telematics, cruise control, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and keyless entry. It relies on a proven platform and familiar engine that’s easy to maintain.
Final Verdict
The Maruti XL6 2025 offers a comfortable, spacious, and efficient six-seater experience that appeals to urban families who prefer captain-seat layouts without the premium MPV price. While engine performance is adequate rather than exhilarating, its practicality, fuel efficiency, and modern features make it a thoughtful choice for daily use and road trips alike.
Ideal pick if you want extra space and comfort over Ertiga but prefer better resale, better mileage, and lower maintenance than larger SUVs.
