With the Ertiga facelift launched, Maruti is now set to launch the XL6 facelift. A new teaser by Maruti shows us a glimpse of the front fascia of the MPV which will feature a new grille and other subtle tweaks. The teaser also confirms the presence of the same 6-speed torque converter with paddle shifters that made its debut in the new Ertiga. The facelifted XL6 can be pre-booked via any of Maruti’s NEXA showrooms or via the NEXA website. The booking amount is set at ₹11,000.
What to expect
The XL6 and Ertiga will get similar changes. Both are expected to receive minor cosmetic changes and changes to the powertrain. We expect the XL6 to get a similar set of changes. The exterior will get a new grille as shown in the teaser. The alloy wheels will also get a new design. The interiors will see an upgrade in terms of the equipment offered. The 7-inch SmartPlay Pro Touch ScreenInfotainment System has been borrowed from the new Baleno and it features connected car technology as well.
The new XL6 will feature the next-generation iteration of the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Dubbed the Dual Jet engine, it will feature smart hybrid technology and offer class-leading mileage figures. It will come mated to a new 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission that will also get paddle shifters. Unlike the Ertiga, the XL6 will not come with the option of a CNG considering its premium positioning. Talking about new features, it will come with a 360-degree camera and 4 airbags, cruise control, automatic climate control, and auto headlamps to name a few.

Talking about dimensions, the XL6 is 4,445 mm long, 1,775 mm wide, and 1,700 mm tall. This makes the six-seater 50 mm longer, 40 mm wider and 10 mm taller than the Ertiga.
