Maruti Suzuki XL6

My sister bought this car and it is a hassle-free experience at the Maruthi Suzuki Nexa showroom. Great experience. Driven almost 800+kms. But there is some lag in the sudden pickup. So one should be much more careful when overtaking a vehicle, especially on NH. Looks wise it is good when comparing its competitors. Performance is also good. My sister did two services without any trouble. One may consider XL6 for a greater ride and will be suited for 6 persons. Seating arrangements are much better than its competitors. The fuel economy is average. There is some lag in power delivery. This means sudden pick-up is average only. Maruthi Suzuki must consider this issue and try to sort it out.
