Maruti Suzuki’s XL6, the premium 6-seater MPV from its Nexa lineup, has become more affordable thanks to the GST 2.0 reforms. With price cuts of up to ₹52,000 across variants, the XL6 now starts at ₹11.52 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a more compelling alternative to the Kia Carens and Toyota Rumion.

Drive Review — What It Feels Like
The XL6 feels like a proper upgrade from the Ertiga. The 1.5L petrol engine is smooth and relaxed, ideal for city and highway cruising. The automatic gearbox is tuned for comfort, not urgency, but it suits the MPV’s laid-back character.
The ventilated seats and cabin insulation make long drives genuinely pleasant. The suspension is soft, soaking up bumps well, though it does lean a bit in corners. The CNG variant feels slightly underpowered but delivers excellent mileage — ideal for fleet buyers or high-mileage families.
