Overall an excellent experience

Overall an excellent experience with this car. Comfortable to drive with low maintenance. The Interior of the car is excellent with a big infotainment system with premium option varient.

Maruti Suzuki XL6

Good, but the back profile should change immediately. It reduces 1,000 bookings/month. Specifically, back lights are the same as Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which is running an outdated and old design. If it will change, it may fall under the top ten best-selling cars/ month. Planning to buy after back modification. Over all a good car. I have bought 3 Maruti Suzuki cars till now. Maruti Alto, Vitara Brezza and then Ignis. Want to buy a seven-seater car from Maruti Suzuki. Due to the back-light design of Maruti Suzuki XL6. I couldn't proceed to buy, though I like the car more. I hope it will improve shortly, maybe got convenient to buy early. Thanks to Maruti Suzuki for offering such a wonderful car for Indians.
