Maruti Suzuki has rolled out a quiet but significant feature update for its premium MPV, the XL6. Sold via the Nexa outlet network, the XL6 has now been refreshed with new comfort, convenience, and safety features. These changes come soon after a similar update to the Maruti Ertiga. Importantly, the upgrades do not affect the design language or engine specifications, keeping the XL6’s identity intact while making it more appealing for modern family buyers.

The refreshed XL6 now comes with six airbags standard, repositioned air-conditioning vents for better passenger comfort, added USB Type-C charging points, and a new sporty exterior element in the form of a rear spoiler. Despite these upgrades, the starting price remains unchanged at ₹ 11.94 lakh (ex-showroom).

Exterior Updates: Subtle Yet Sporty

From the outside, the XL6 retains its familiar styling and premium road presence. However, Maruti Suzuki has added a rear spoiler as standard across all variants. This small but effective change lends the MPV a sportier stance while complementing the existing black cladding and chrome accents.

The paint palette remains untouched. Buyers can still choose from Nexa Blue, Opulent Red, Splendid Silver, Arctic White, Bluish Black, and multiple dual-tone combinations. The absence of new colour shades shows Maruti’s confidence in its existing premium line-up of finishes.

Interior & Cabin Comfort: More Practical for Families

Inside the cabin, the XL6 now feels more user-friendly thanks to thoughtful re-engineering of its air-conditioning system and charging options.

1. Relocated Second-Row Vents: Previously, the air vents for the middle row were mounted on the ceiling. In the updated XL6, they have been shifted behind the centre console, making them easier to access. This modification also frees up more headroom for second-row passengers.

2. Dedicated Third-Row Vents: For the first time, passengers in the third row now get their own set of AC vents, positioned on the right-hand side, with adjustable blower speed. This ensures that all three rows of occupants experience equal cooling comfort.

3. USB Type-C Charging Ports: Keeping up with modern gadget needs, Maruti Suzuki has introduced four USB Type-C charging outlets two for the second row and two for the third row. Families travelling with multiple devices will find this a practical addition.

Safety Upgrades: Six Airbags Standard

The most important update in this round is in the safety department. The XL6 now features six airbags as standard across all variants driver, co-driver, side, and curtain airbags. This step aligns with the growing demand for enhanced occupant protection in MPVs.

In addition, the XL6 continues to offer:

• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

• Hill-hold assist

• ABS with EBD

• ISOFIX child-seat mounts

This makes the XL6 one of the safest offerings in Maruti’s MPV line-up.

Engine and Transmission: No Mechanical Changes

Maruti Suzuki has chosen not to change the mechanical package of the XL6. The MPV continues with its tried-and-tested 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine producing 102 bhp and 136.8 Nm of torque.

Transmission options remain:

• 5-speed manual gearbox

• 6-speed torque-converter automatic with paddle shifters

For buyers seeking lower running costs, Maruti continues to offer a CNG variant. In CNG mode, the engine produces 87 bhp and 121.5 Nm of torque and is available only with the manual transmission.

Variants and Pricing

The updated XL6 continues to be sold in three trims: Zeta, Alpha, and Alpha Plus.

• Starting price: ₹ 11.94 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)

• Top-end price: Around ₹ 15 lakh (ex-showroom, depending on variant and transmission)

This pricing strategy makes the XL6 a direct competitor to models like the Kia Carens and Toyota Rumion, while offering a premium alternative to the Maruti Ertiga.
