Maruti XL6 Grandeur Grey

I purchased this car in December 2022 and have been extensively driving between Agra and Noida/Gurgaon, covering both highways and city roads. I've driven over 16,000 kms in 9 months and have had 3 services done. At the third service, the engine oil was changed. Here's an honest review: Performance: I find that the performance lacks a bit. My Swift Dzire actually has better power output than this car. The acceleration is okay, and it doesn't give the feeling of a big car. With just 2 members, the performance is good. However, when I have my full 6-member family in the car (4 men and 2 women), all weighing between 70-85 kgs, the car struggles to move from 80 km/h to 100 km/h. Going from 100 km/h to 120 km/h feels like a long journey. During this condition, the fuel average drops to below 15 km/l. (Though I'm not particularly concerned about mileage, I prefer driving at higher speeds as time is more important to me than money). Comfort: All the seats are really nice, with no issues whatsoever. The car is extremely spacious in all three rows. Both my younger brother and I (we measure around 5'10" in height) can comfortably sit in the third row. Utility: The utility is very high. My wife and I use the car for regular travel to the office (Gurgaon/Noida) and hometown (Agra). We pack our essentials in the third row with seats folded down, and it provides excellent utility. Disliked features: Interior: The interior feels like the Ertiga from the inside, especially in black color (I'd rate it 1 star out of 5). The dashboard design feels outdated (like old Japanese models). Tyre size: The tyres are small and look like toy tyres on such a big car. Touch screen: The touch screen on the Zeta model is very poor. It lacks inbuilt navigation, and connecting to a mobile via cable is necessary for Android Auto/iPhone CarPlay.

Maruti expanded its CNG class segment car and launched XL6 which can easily accommodate six people as what is claimed by Maruti. Maruti XL 6 is an entry-level model which is stylish from the inside and okayish exterior. The dashboard has been designed and crafted well, the single-tone color and chrome finish are what I like, plus the fit and finish are good. If I have to accommodate six people at once it would be a bundle of space for a third-row person but at, the same time takes up the boot space. The price range is good.

The XL6 offers a spacious and comfortable cabin. It is a six-seater configuration, with captain seats in the second row, providing enhanced comfort and a more premium feel. The seats are well-cushioned and offer good support. The interior features a black and beige color scheme with premium upholstery. The XL6 also offers features like automatic climate control, touchscreen infotainment system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and other convenience features.

My neighbor recently bought Maruti XL6 in gray color in Zeta variant at a price range of 11.56 lacs from Vadodara city. The MVP looks quite big and elegant. I like the interior and the space that every seat holds plus the reclining seats in the third row offer plenty of space for luggage. The upholstery is quite good and gives a premium feel. The infotainment is loaded with modern technology and an incredible music speaker with nice bass. Honestly, I became a fan of Maruti as the new XL 6 is truly a beast given the good competition in the market, and would recommend it.

I bought Maruti XL 6 last month for my family. Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a premium model of the Ertiga MPL, it will be stored in the Nexa store. The design looks more rugged and more practical. The interiors have a black theme even the dials are colored black. The seats are very comfortable for long sitting and hold the back very well. The headroom is good in both 2 & 3 rows but knee space is compromised.
