The Maruti Suzuki XL7 is making headlines in the Indian SUV space as a rugged, upmarket and budget 7-seater. Developed with an all-road attitude, practicality and modern style in mind, the XL7 is a stylish six-pack family car that combines all the good things such as space, technology and performance. Whether it’s city roads or off roads, the XL7 is made for both.
Bold and Striking Exterior
Looking at the Exterior design, Maruti Suzuki XL7 makes an impact with its aggressive SUV stance, imposing front grille and stylish LED headlamps with DRL, are its strong attributes. Exterior-wise the sporty body cladding, roof rails and the car’s ground clearance make it look rugged, but fairly refined. There are alloy wheels as well making the all new Duster look premium, visually differentiating itself from its competition in its segment.
Interactive Spacoius And Feature Rich Interior
Step aboard, though, and the XL7 is an unexpected big hit on the inside with a spacious cabin that will comfortably seat seven. The second-row captain seats provide a bit of luxury and easy access to the third row, which is great for kids or occasional adult passengers.
Inviting seating and an upscale cabin design featuring high-quality upholstery, ambient lighting and a stylish dashboard add to the allure. Entertainment on the move Infotainment system gives everyone something to smile about, with touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Add to this its rear AC vents, armrest and spacious legroom, and all passengers are in for a cosy experience even on longer drives.
Very Good Engine, Very Smooth To Drive
Maruti Suzuki XL7 comes with the 1.5-litre K-series petrol engine which is capable of churning out 103 bhp and 138 Nm of torque. Deliveries are through a 5-speed manual gearbox or, with the V6, a 4-speed automatic, and the XL7 is both inventively accommodating in town and compliant on the highway.
Smart Hybrid technology adds up for more efficiency and less emissions. An energy regenerate braking system and a torque assist feature are part of what makes the XL7 among the most fuel efficient 7-seater in its segment, with fuel consumption ratings of 19 km/l for the manual and 18 km/l for the automatic.
Safety and Reliability
Maruti Suzuki values safety above anything else, and the same has been adopted in the XL7. The braking is handled by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Hill Hold Assist and reverse parking sensors. A 360-degree camera system also makes parking and tight city driving more manageable.
Rugged construction, using Suzuki’s TECT (Total Effective Control Technology), boosts crash protection, while ISOFIX child seat anchors and a tyre pressure monitoring system provide peace of mind for families. Smart tech and connectivity
The XL7’s technology is designed for the new age. The in-dash infotainment system is equipped with voice command, navigation and a friendly user interface. USB ports are provided at every row, so devices never run out of fuel on the go. The multifunctional steering wheel and digital analog instrument cluster are convenient and clear for the driver.
Price and Value
PRICED between ₹12 lakh and ₹13 lakh (ex-showroom), the XL7 is good value for money. It is a good rival for other 7-seaters like the Creta in the market as it offers a better blend of style, space, and modernity. Maruti’s robust after-sales network along with the brand’s image of being inexpensive to maintain, only adds to the appeal.
Final Verdict
A Maruti Suzuki XL7 is a great choice for families in search of a stylish, spacious, and dependable 7 seater SUV. This balance on top of a slew of fuel efficiency, comfort, and advanced safety features means it consistently ranks one of the best for a mid-size SUV. If your ready for a vehicle of this mass, this empty-nest/mobile bed’n breakfast could give the Ford Exploder a run for the money.
