Maruti Suzuki XL6 - Every Variant Explained

Maruti Suzuki's XL6 is a premium 6-seater offered under the NEXA banner, and features a 1.5-litre K-Series Smart Hybrid petrol engine, which also comes with a factory-fitted CNG option. It is a good choice for large families due to its spacious and feature rich cabin, which focuses on long travel comfort and low running costs.

The XL6 is available in three variants - Zeta, Alpha and Alpha+, where each trim is available with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, in smart hybrid form. Note that only the Zeta can be had with a factory-fitted CNG, and that too in manual only.

While the Toyota Rumion offers a more practical 7-seat layout and a stronger value-focused approach, the XL6 targets buyers looking for a more premium cabin experience with its captain seats, darker interior theme (that is easy to maintain) and additional comfort-focused features.
