Maruti Suzuki XL6 that is a six-seater MPV has been launched in India at an introductory price sticker of INR 9.80 lakh. Based on ongoing MPV, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, the XL6 is being offered in two variants of Zeta and Alpha. The availability of two individual captain chairs in the middle row is the speciality of the newly launched MPV from Maruti Suzuki.

At the side profile, the XL6 features all-black 15-inch alloy wheels with mirror caps, plastic side-body cladding and roof rails as well. While the rear is furnished with a restyled bumper with cladding and a faux skid-plate.
In terms of colours, the company offers six options of Brave Khaki, Nexa Blue, Magma Grey, Auburn Red, Arctic White and Premium Silver.
Inside the cabin, the carmaker opted for an all-black theme instead of a beige theme offered in the standard Ertiga.
