Maruti Suzuki XL6 update: What to expect
The refreshed XL6 may not get many styling tweaks on the outside, except for the bigger alloy wheels similar to the one seen on the Suzuki XL7 in Indonesia. The major update on the MPV will be seen under the hood in the form of a new K15C 1.5-litre DualJet petrol engine good for 115hp, which is 10hp more than the outgoing K15B 1.5-litre engine.
On the gearbox front as well, the new XL6, just like the Ertiga, will get a six-speed torque convertor automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Fuel economy is expected to be better than its predecessor, thanks to the new gearbox as well as Maruti’s tried and tested DualJet technology that also sees duty in the new Celerio, Swift and the recently launched Baleno.
On the inside, expect new upholstery, and minor trim updates along with an all-new infotainment system interface similar to the Baleno, however, the screen size is expected to continue to be 7-inch. A teaser video confirms that XL6 will not get a sunroof.
The prices for the new XL6 is expected to be announced by April 21.
