Maruti Suzuki XL6 User Reviews

I have 25 years of experience in driving car in India and abroad. Recently I decided to sell off one of my cars (Tata Indica Vista) which was almost 13 years old and I wanted to buy a spacious car with good boot space that gives decent mileage. I had one more constraint; the car should have automatic gear. When I did a little bit research, I found all the well known SUVs with boot space above 380 litres with automatic gear cost nearly 20 lakhs or above, which was beyond my budget. So I decided that instead of SUVs I should go for a good MPV. MPV is a good option when you have a small family but need to carry good amount of luggage while long distant travelling. It offers both options of 6 seater for city tours and comfortable four seater with huge boot space for long journeys. I searched the MPV market and found that XL6 2020 is the best option, because now it has got 16 inch alloy wheel and 6 speed automatic gear and paddle shifter. When I tried to sell off my old Tata car which was in very good condition I revealed a truth of Indian 2nd hand car market that Maruti has a very good resell value. I do not know the reason behind it but it is a fact. So, although there is a new MPV in the market I decided to stick to the one of the most trusted Brands in India. I purchased the top variant of XL6 ( alfa plus automatic). So, far my experience of driving XL6 is amazing. Definitely, the engine response is not like a SUV, one should not expect that kind of engine response, but from the perspective of a good comfortable family car it is TOO GOOD. Before I purchased the car, I read a lot of reviews. I was actually very sceptical about the highway driving. Now I can make a clear statement that driving XL6 on highway is very nice for all those who want to drive more or less with a constant speed. Overtaking is also not an issue. Those who wants sudden pick up they should buy SUV not MPV. However, up to a certain limit sudden pick up is also possible with paddle shifter in manual mode. Mileage of a car depend upon your driving pattern. It gave following mileage with AC on (prior to 2nd servicing) 1. On highway with very cautious driving (speed 70-80km/h) : 21.6 km/litre (on display) , 20.3 km/litre (calculated) 2. On highway (speed between 90-110km/h) : 18.3 km/litre (on display), around 17km/litre (calculated). 3. On congested city roads: 10-13.5km/litre (depending upon average speed) Pros: 1. At an affordable price it offers 360 degree camera, ventilated seats, tyre pressure monitoring which are not available in many well known SUVs. 2. Ventilated seats are very effective and very comfortable. 3. 2nd row captain seats are awesome, since they can be reclined. 4. Mileage is above my expectation. Probably due to mild hybrid engine. 5. Service of NEXA is awesome. 6. Decent ride quality, better than Ertiga, because of 16 inch wheel. 7. Built quality is also better than Ertiga. 8. look is very nice. 9. After folding the 3rd seat, it offers 580 litre of boot space. 10. AC is excellent. I live in Rajasthan and used it in summer. 11. Engine is quite. 12. Driving in city is GREAT since it has a light steering and relatively small turning radius. You never feel that you are driving a big car. 13. Decent ground clearance 180mm. Cons: 1. Ground clearance could have been over 190mm. 2. Noise level inside the car should be further reduced. 3. Touch screen infotainment system should be bigger. Now it is 7inch in size. Conclusion: It is a very good family car, for city driving as well as highways.

Bought this car after extensive search and watching YouTube reviews. Also I had a test drive before entering into a booking. Few days after purchase I traveled moderately on heavy traffic roads as well as on highways. An accurate measure of fuel consumption was not possible as I have driven only few hundred kms. Overall I feel that the K15C machine is highly efficient than any other type used in Maruti vehicles . Being a heavy vehicle with large sized body the engine performance is remarkable. The torque converter type automatic transmission is very smooth in providing hassle free driving . However in low gear shifts it seems that the machine is not exactly synchronizing with the load. Maruti had engineered its dynamics to save fuel, no doubt, compromising certain comforts of the travelers. But those who love Maruti will certainly appreciate it. Until now my average fuel consumption is 14.5 km/l, and the maximum recorded was 21.87km/l on the highway side. Mileage depends on many factors such as road condition, load, external temperature, tyre pressure and the nature of driving. For a careful driver who knows something about the engine it is an excellent instrument for better service. The interior space is sufficiently good for six passengers with less luggage. I have really enjoyed sitting in the third row seat . No body roll no jerks. Thanks for the design.

Maruti should increase safety ratings and build quality of these premium car's being in NEXA. Remaining these issues car looks very nice in NEXA segment. Over all performance is very good.

This car is perfect for middle-class people. the seating area is excellent, driving is also good. This is a compact car for one family, milage is very poor. After 6000 km fuel consumption is very poor and not exceeding this is one negative for this car.

My close friend bought this car and the experience is good, driving experience is smooth and fun to drive looks wise stylish and low maintenance car, service is also available in all cities in India...
