2022 Maruti Suzuki XL6 facelift MPV launch in India: What to expect
Maruti Suzuki is all set to drive in the facelift version of the XL6 MPV to India on April 21. In its new generation, Maruti promises the six-seater premium MPV will offer more features and updates to attract buyers as well as help it step up its three-row MPV game amid arrivals of new rivals such as Kia Carens. XL6 was first launched in India three years ago as the premium version of the Ertiga. In its second generation, XL6 will be offered with a new engine, new set of gearbox besides several other changes, both inside and outside. Here is a quick look at what to expect from the 2022 Maruti Suzuki XL6 facelift MPV.

The new Maruti Suzuki XL6 will come with certain design updates on the outside as well as the interior. According to the teasers released by the carmaker, the XL6 will look sportier with a new design of chrome strip on the grille. The dual-tone alloy wheels, which are expected to be 16 inches in size, will also have a fresh design. The rest of the MPV, as shown in teasers, appears to remain similar to the outgoing model.
