Maruti Suzuki has announced a price revision for its premium MPV, the XL6, with all variants becoming costlier by Rs. 12,500. The new pricing is effective immediately and comes as part of the company’s April 2025 pricing update. This makes the XL6 slightly less pocket-friendly for new buyers but still competitive in its segment.
Pricing
The hike of Rs. 12,500 applies uniformly across the entire XL6 range, regardless of the variant or transmission choice. With this change, the XL6 now starts at Rs. 11.83 lakh and goes up to Rs. 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Here’s a quick look at the updated price range:
| Variant | Transmission | Updated Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Zeta | Manual/Automatic | From ₹11.83 lakh |
| Alpha | Manual/Automatic | Mid-range pricing |
| Alpha+ | Manual/Automatic | Up to ₹14.99 lakh |
This revision lands just ahead of the expected unveiling of the 2025 Kia Carens, one of the XL6’s biggest competitors. That timing might be more than a coincidence, as Maruti could be making room for minor feature updates or preparing for new variant launches.
Variants
The XL6 is sold through Maruti’s Nexa chain of premium dealerships and is available in three main variants—Zeta, Alpha, and Alpha+. Each variant offers a premium feature set with subtle design differences, including dual-tone alloy wheels, LED headlamps, and leatherette upholstery in higher trims.
Engine
Under the hood, the XL6 continues with the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. This motor produces adequate power for city and highway use and is known for its refinement and fuel efficiency. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Despite being petrol-only, the XL6 remains popular thanks to its smooth driving experience, spacious cabin, and premium interiors—making it a practical pick for families looking for a comfortable people-mover.
Market Context
The price bump comes at a time when competition in the MPV space is heating up. With the Kia Carens update around the corner, and other rivals like the Toyota Rumion and Mahindra Marazzo still active in the market, Maruti is likely maintaining its margin while keeping the XL6 competitively priced.
While the increase is relatively minor, buyers who were planning to purchase this month may want to make a quicker decision to avoid any potential future hikes.
