With this, Maruti claims that the XL6 will deliver a fuel economy of 20.3 kmpl with the automatic transmission, while the manual version will return around 20.97 kmpl.
Author’s Take
With the latest update, the Maruti Suzuki XL6 has become a more mature product. However, it would have been better if the carmaker had equipped it with wireless smartphone charging, an electric sunroof, and a heads-up display. The latter is also available with the segment-below Maruti Suzuki Baleno hatchback.
