Godfather of all Suv

Great driving experience, with great stability, great comfort while riding, while driving safari you wont feel tired because of the great seating comfort, applicable for long trips also.

Low price better comfort for Indian travelers

Ertiga car was good for mileage maintenance and excellent for middle-class people with big family ..it was more comfortable us to seat and travel all together. So it is better to use a battery-saver and super comfort car.

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.
