Maruti Suzuki XL6 Interiors
The Maruti XL6 facelift will get a Heads-Up Display showcasing the details, such as navigation, speed, engine RPM, and symbols on the glass screen. It will also get a wireless smartphone charger, TPMS, a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and in-built Suzuki Connect telematics.
It will also get ISOFIX child seat anchorages, a high-speed alert system, and driver and co-driver seat belt reminders are standard across the range. It also includes connected car features called Suzuki Connect that offers voice assistant functions. Another welcome addition are ventilated front seats that'll be a boon in our weather condition.
Maruti Suzuki XL6 Engine
The new XL6 comes with a new 1.5-litre DualJet engine, which uses two injectors per cylinder, giving it greater control over the fuel injection, and greater power and efficiency as a result. It also features Maruti's smart-hybrid technology with start-stop technology. It puts out 103hp at 6,000rpm and 136.8Nm at 4,400rpm, which is 2hp and 1.2Nm down on the outgoing 1.5 engine. The XL6 is, then, the second Maruti model to be offered with the DualJet 1.5-litre engine, and is expected to make its way into bigger Maruti models in the future.
It also gets the new 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, which first debuted with the recently launched Ertiga. The standard 5-speed manual gearbox has been carried over as is. The updated XL6 is claimed to do 20.97kpl with the manual gearbox and 20.27kpl with the auto.
