Maruti XL7

Last Updated On 28th Dec’22: XL7 Engine : When launched, the XL7 will use the same engine as the Ertiga and the XL6. This means the updated 1.5-litre petrol unit that is sold with both a 5 speed manual as well as a 6 speed automatic gearbox. Maruti will also offer a CNG kit as an option with the 5 speed manual gearbox. This engine scores high marks in terms of refinement levels and fuel efficiency on offer. However, with a full load, it isn’t a very peppy engine. 

XL7 Features: If launched, the XL7 will be a feature loaded family MPV. Some of these will include air-con vents in all rows, cruise control system, climate (automatic) control, touchscreen with support for Android Auto and Apple Carplay, cooled cup holders etc. We can also expect LED headlamps, LED fog lamps and alloy wheels. 

XL7 Rivals: If launched, the XL7 will rival a lot of other MPVs in India. This includes its own Nexa cousin the XL6 and Arena cousin the Ertiga. Apart from this, it will also lock horns with the Mahindra Marazzo and the Kia Carens. 

XL7 Launch & Price: Maruti has not confirmed anything around the launch time frame of the XL7. However, there might be a possibility that the company showcase it at the upcoming 2023 Auto Expo. Pricing should start at around the Rs 11 lakh mark.
