In terms of mechanicals, Maruti Suzuki is expected to offer the XL6 with the same 1.5-litre K15-Series petrol engine. It produces 104bhp and 138Nm of torque; mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

Maruti Suzuki recently launched the BS-VI version of the Ertiga MPV with the same 1.5-litre petrol engine. Hence it makes sense that the upcoming XL6 MPV will also be offered with the BS-VI compliant engine. This petrol engine will further be offered with Maruti Suzuki's SHVS (mild-hybrid) technology.
