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.

Biggest SUV ever driven on Indian roads. Most comfortable seating which is no way comparable others

<p><strong>Exterior</strong> Tata Safari Storme - Giagantic look, tallest among remaining SUV's, Range rover styling makes Storme the best looking SUV in India.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> Best Seating in front and back (5 seats), Most spacious in seating then compared to Fortuner. High standard plastics and fittings compared to any of the other SUV's which includes XUV and Duster.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Have filled the tank and till now have roamed 500 km still i have not refueled, Fuel economy is also very good looking at the weight and size mileage is really good compared to Dicor. Engine is good, Gear box is bit hard.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Best in the class and there is no doubt about it. You can not compare Storme comfort with any of other SUV's till (30 lakhs). Best in ride quality especially off roads. Handling is really good compared to predecessor.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> Firstly, Storme is not falling under Tata Safari category. We should remove Safari and name it as Tata Storme. Reason is because Storme has got new Chasis which is 78 kgs lighter weight and 50 times stronger than Safari Dicor. Suspension is totally changed. Front and rear disk breaks with ABS and EBD. Spare wheel has been removed and two silencors. Front look and lightings are replica of Range rover. Rear as well range rover look.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement </strong>Tata team are very very poor in marketing such a best product in 10 - 15 lakhs slot on road price.</p> <p>Tata Storme is one of the best quality product of Tata's ever and just take the example of Royal enfeild marketing atleast and try to create more awareness to the mid age segment (20 - 35).</p> <p>Storme - Last row has to be changed, thats very very vital while people are selecting SUV's. Try to do a survey, atleast. I believe there is no complaint in the vehicle but if you change the seating then it will definately be no problem Storme for sure.</p> <p>Murali. B</p>Height, Comfort, Seating, Road View, Suspension, Braking (ABS and EBD for front and back)Speakers of the audio are not upto the standards and last row needs to be improved a lot.
