The updated Maruti Suzuki XL6 goes on sale in the country today at a starting price of Rs. 11.29 lakh, ex-showroom.

He added, “This premium MPV has enhanced comfort and convenience features, which are bound to delight the today’s modern buyer. Based on NEXA’s new design language “CRAFTED FUTURISM”, the All-New XL6 has a refreshed design, advanced features and is powered by Next-Generation powertrain with an all-new 6-speed automatic transmission. I am confident that our NEXA customers will appreciate the All-New XL6.”
