Maruti Suzuki XL6 2022 was officially launched in the country on Thursday at a starting price point of ₹11.29 lakh (ex showroom) for the Zeta variant with manual transmission, going up to ₹14.55 lakh (ex showroom) for the Alpha+ variant with dual-tone colour theme. The latest XL6 from Maruti brags of getting a number of visual updates to its exterior profile and, perhaps more significantly, an updated feature list in the cabin and a new 1.5-litre petrol engine which is mated to a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission unit.
The XL6 was first launched in the market in 2019 as a more premium version of the Ertiga MPV. While the Ertiga too was updated earlier this month, it is the updated XL6 which will help Maruti once again stake a major claim in the MPV segment that now also features the Kia Carens. But while Carens has a wide price range from ₹9.59 lakh and ₹ ₹16.59 lakh (ex showroom), the XL6 may still be more bang for the buck.
