Maruti Suzuki XL6 2022 First Drive Review | 10 Hits and 4 Misses | Design, Features & Pricing

Maruti Suzuki has just updated the XL6, their 2022 MUV with a hint of premiumness added to the utility tag. The XL6 packs in a 1.5-litre petrol engine that boasts of dual jet and variable valve timing. Making it a more refined and efficient engine. Performance is a healthy 103PS and 137Nm. There’s also a more modern 6-speed gearbox added in as an option to replace the antiquated 4-speed which has long since been on its last legs. The ventilated seats, new infotainment interface, and connected car tech do improve the in cabin experience. But the changes, all of them, are more of an incremental nature than revolutionary change. Still they do come together to make the XL6 better.
Is it the one car to meet all your needs? Something that can commute, pack in the whole family on weekends and take on a rough and tough road trip? And how has the pricing changed? We answer all these questions and more.

This XL6 is spot on , the 6 speed TC has put it back in contention ....This XL6 is practical for older parents who are chauffer driven, but leather seats get really hot when parked out in summer and that rules out both the higher variants. The base variant with cloth seats seems to be the better option but it does not get IR cut windows.A little more engine power would be good but easy improvements can be made with IR cut windows on all variants and Ventilated option for second row capitans chairs with leather.

I was initially sceptical about buying Ertiga Zxi+ but after using it, now I cannot think of anything else for a family of 5. Practicality & comfort.

[@vigneshwaransridharan2290]

Great job done my Maruti Suzuki engineers. The great facelift with fantastic outlook and lots of stuffed features inside made this car premium 💛

We are slowly entering in the most chaotic transition in automotive industry where fule vehicles are getting expensive along with fule and ev in the starting phase don't make any sense for the cost which we pay over fule vehicles and getting 300-400 km range that get reduced on highway speeds 🙂and taking 8-10 hour to charge .

Much better review than that by Renuka from Autocar

[@Varun_Vidyalink]

A diesel engine with more torque would have been best for this size car

[@ameyabenz]

Many companies are moving away from diesel engines now because, in a few years, cars will be switched to battery, CNG and petrol. VW is also going to stop the production of diesel engines. In India, cars are used at least for 5 years. Keeping this aspect in mind (that in the recent future there won't be resale value for diesel engines) MS is already shifting to petrol/CNG engines only. It matters to MS coz they are the one with the highest resale market in India.

[@Barathnarayanan]

Yes. At least a turbo petrol.

This looks good now. Though Maruti's safety record does give me pause.

Maruti has a better safety record than Hyundai/Kia.

Glad it is at least 16" wheels.

[@ramsoundar]

My XL6 vehicle had multiple issues - OC volve failed after 10000 Kms ran...i was in trichy with maruti service dealer, they couldnt find out , finally i escalated to Maruti to fix it urgently, it was just 1 year old car that time...after that i have break noise issue, I went to bangalore dealer whom i purchased from, they couldnt figure out where the noise coming from , fixed on trial and error method, so far it is fine - i am afraid what else would break within 2 yrs warranty period - i guess Maruti XL6 QC is not doing good job , so better to get Ertiga

[@itsmeteja19]

Adding extra 2 air bags doesn't instill confidence unless and until maruti works on structural integrity of the car and the interior more or less remains the same , but the gripe is it's auto gear box, I expected a significant improvement from 6 speed auto, atleast kia carens offered multiple power trains with modern day features and elements. There is a lot to be desired for the asking price

[@kushagratripathi113]

I think Maruti should offer a diesel engine option for this MPV that will make this car a very well packaged, also please make a comparison video between Kia Carens and XL6

[@uthams2]

See what Carens has made Maruti do, update the XL6.

[@evinod]

Please compare Ertiga and Carens 1.5 petrol.

[@ramvijaygirap8456]

They should focus on build quality rather than more features.

[@Varun_Vidyalink]

Such a difference of opinion , Autocar says the 6speed auto gear is lazy and Zigwheel say the new auto gear is eager enough

[@TheTwinPost]

True... gives us one more reason to take proper test ride before making a decision.

Thanks for your Review Your review for Maruti XL6 is under moderation, it will be posted very soon. Your overall rating:3.7 xl6 check these before buying I am an actual user and purchases xl6 a month back. Car is good in its segment however I must point out the following for users to check first before buying 1. Brake is applied too low on the pedal and seems unreliable and irritating. The workshop says its a manufacturing feature and they cannot do anything about it. 2. Car pulls to left if steering is straight, again the workshop seems to be clueless. Alignment done twice already, no improvement. I'm being asked to come the third time. Not sure if will help. Seems like a manufacturing defect. 3. Rear Camera (accessory in base model which I have, equipment in other two models is hazy and half the screen is occupied by bumper and name plate view, and one inch top space of screen is occupied by safety text, the remaining view is hazy and not long distant 4. The front windshield wipers are sized and positioned such that when they are used they leave a big triangle area unwiped at the bottom of the windshield. It is irritating and unsafe. Car is a good drive and gives good mileage for its price, however these few things are always making the user anxious

[@4g5y]

it's a good package for the city if one needs more space and has 5 passengers or children/ parents to travel with. But I am not sure about long distance or highway travel with that very very conservatively tuned drivetrain. Add the safety concerns and this is certainly not something you'd want to take risks with while overtaking etc on undivided roads. So yeah, a good option for the city. But better to increase the budget and look elsewhere for long distance travel.

[@UjjwalPratapSingh45]

this engine is not that lazy or dull that these guys are telling. It is not very quick but never feel underpowered on the highway and very good cruiser ( I have S Cross Petrol so I can tell you my experience)

[@4g5y]

@@UjjwalPratapSingh45 Scross hasn't gotten the new dual jet if I am not mistaken.

[@UjjwalPratapSingh45]

@@4g5y yes. It has K15B. There is not much difference between two engines in performance front.

[@4g5y]

from what I see, there is! all the new dual jets are tuned for FE rather than performance. and that is seen across the 1, 1.2 and now the 1.5 liter K series.

[@UjjwalPratapSingh45]

@@4g5y yes surely they are. But fuel efficiency increased due to better control over fuelling not that they dull the engine's performance. After dual jet they become really really smooth (they were already smooth waise to).

Absurd pricing increase - minor facelift priced as if it were an all new model

[@Orange_390]

Updated engine 6AT Updated infotainment system Larger wheels Ventilated seats 4 airbags This isn't just a minor facelift, pricing doesn't seem as absurd now

[@akashsharma3855]

old XL6 was still more value for money. This one is overpriced.

[@aravindbnr]

Why would you consider the Xl6 over the Ertiga , both are 90 % similar and ertiga feels more value for money.

[@rakeshbabu9884]

I really don't understand wen cars in India, mainly Maruti mention "Hill hold assist" as a seperate feature in their Automatic variants ! Y d fuck wud some one buy a automatic car without hill hold assist !

[@dheeraja511]

Most cars with automatic gearbox do not get hill hold in base trims.. eg: creta, seltos, sonet, venue, Verna and what not..

[@abhisekray6636]

Ertiga & XL6 are two different types of cars, in terms of their looks, characters and feel. So it is not understandable why don't they provide a seven seat option in XL6!! There should be a bench seat option in the second row and Maruti should definitely think over that immediately.

[@arafatzahan3697]

Isn't there a XL7 with 7 seat?

[@eversunnyguy]

Then XL name will be defeated...

I would suggest not to go for Maruti... you will not be getting your favorite color delivered on time.. I have been waiting for 3 months.. meanwhile dealer is often coming up with free stock available colors
