Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the much-awaited XL7 in India, priced from ₹11.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as a more premium sibling to the Ertiga, the XL7 brings a bold new design and spacious seven-seater layout, directly challenging models like the Toyota Innova Crysta. Equipped with contemporary styling, plush interiors, and an efficient powertrain, the XL7 is set to become a front-burner candidate in the MUV segment.
The Bold Design: SUV Look
Front grille, chunky cladding on the body, and eye-catching LED DRLs lend the Maruti XL7 a sporty look common in an SUV. A raised stance, roof rails, dual-tone alloy wheels, and muscular contours further distance it from the usual MPV looks. Offered in a number of bold dual-tone color choices, the XL7 certainly wants to convey space and style to be rejected by urban families.
A Comfort-Focused Interior with Quality Features
The XL7 offers captain seats in the mid-row, enhancing the comfort of rear passengers. It gets the sportier premium feel with an all-black dashboard accentuated by orange contrast stitching. Some of its features are an infotainment system of 7 inches, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, push-button start, cruise control, and multi-info display. The legroom is adequate, and the boot is large enough-as good as one can imagine in a city drive or a family trip.
Performance and Safety for Your Daily Needs
A 1.5L K15B petrol engine with mild hybrid tech powers the vehicle, producing 103 bhp and 138 Nm of torque. Buyers can opt for a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Mild hybrid systems render the best mileage in city traffic. At the safety front, the car offers dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a reverse camera.
A Practical Alternative to a Premium MPV
Incidentally, because it favors affordability, a competitor’s worth is put to question, such as Innova Crysta. For families seeking reliability and aesthetics at a distaff pricing, the XL7 will be a limelight 7-seater offering through 2025.
