Maruti Suzuki XL6 Overview

The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a premium six seat MPV that swaps the middle bench for two captain chairs. That gives the second row a more comfortable, individual seat and a walk-through to the back. It is aimed at families who want a plusher take on the seven seat formula.

A 1.5 litre petrol engine powers it, with a manual or an automatic, plus a factory CNG option for lower running costs. The engine is smooth and quiet, tuned for relaxed cruising rather than pace. It carries six in comfort without fuss.

Prices open at ₹11.62 Lakh for the Zeta and reach ₹14.57 Lakh for the top dual tone automatic, over nine trims. The XL6 starts higher than the Ertiga it is based on, reflecting the richer kit. You can see the on-road XL6 price for your city before choosing.

What sets this Maruti MPV apart is the captain-chair cabin and the slightly bolder, SUV-like styling. The middle passengers get their own space, higher trims bring a big touchscreen and connected tech, and the boot copes well with the seats folded. It feels a grade above a plain people mover. The captain chairs recline and slide, so middle-row passengers travel in real comfort. Ride quality is settled, which helps on longer family drives. Service and running costs stay low despite the premium feel, which is a large part of the draw. Parking is straightforward for the size.

For a family that wants six comfortable seats with a premium feel, the XL6 is a smart middle ground. Compare the XL6 trims and their features to find the right one.
