Top 5 Things About The Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG

Apart from that, the newly launched Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG MUV is the first product under the Nexa lineup to sport a CNG powertrain alongside the Maruti Suzuki Baleno S-CNG hatchback. This move will be very helpful to attract more customers to the Nexa dealerships across the country.

Moreover, we expect the launch of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG to attract more customers in tier and tier 2 cities - Thanks to its CNG-compatible powertrain which ensures lower running costs. That being said, here are the top 5 things about the Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG.

Price & Variants

While the standard Maruti Suzuki XL6 MUV is available in three trim levels - Zeta, Alpha, and Alpha +, the newly launched CNG variant of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 is available only in the base 'Zeta' trim level. Which is a shame considering a significant number of buyers will be interested in opting for higher trim levels of the MUV.

In terms of pricing, the newly launched Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG MUV is priced at Rs 12.24 lakh (ex-showroom, India) - Which is around Rs 95,000 more than the standard Maruti Suzuki XL6 'Zeta' MUV.

Engine & Gearbox

The newly launched Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG MUV as expected is powered by the same 1.5-litre, naturally-aspirated, 4-cylinder engine that powers the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga S-CNG MUV. This CNG-compatible powertrain produces 87bhp of peak power at 5,500 rpm and 121.5Nm of peak torque at 4,200 rpm while using CNG as the combustion fuel.

However, the same engine using petrol as fuel produces a healthier 99bhp of peak power at 6,000rpm and 136Nm of peak torque at 4,400rpm. This is an increase of 12bhp of power and 14.5Nm of torque.

In terms of gearbox options, the Maruti Suzuki XL6 MUV comes with two gearbox options, where customers can either opt for a tried-and-tested 5-speed manual gearbox or the newer 6-speed automatic gearbox. However, the newly launched Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG MUV comes solely equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.

Fuel Economy

Maruti Suzuki is well known for producing very fuel-efficient cars in the country and the Indo-Japanse doesn't disappoint in the case of the XL6 MUV either. The fuel efficiency figure for the standard variant of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 MUC ranges between 20.27km/l - 20.97km/l.

The newly launched CNG variant of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 MUV is even more fuel efficient as the company claims a fuel efficiency figure of 26.32km/kg of CNG fuel. It is also worth mentioning that the new Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG comes with a large 60-litre CNG tank.

Features

Despite the CNG variant of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 MUV being offered only in the base 'Zeta' trim level, the MUV does come equipped with features such as push-button start, cruise control, a large 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 6-speaker audio system, steering-mounted controls, smart key, power windows, and many more.

Safety

In terms of safety features, the Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG comes equipped with safety features such as 4 airbags, reverse parking sensors, ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, electronic stability program (ESP), hill-hold assist, speed sensitive auto door lock, central locking, rear defogger, and many more.

Thoughts About The Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG

With the launch of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 S-CNG, Nexa dealerships across the country will be able to attract more customers and boost the sales figures of the Indo-Japanese automaker, especially in tier 1 and tier 2 cities.
