I have purchased its base manual variant because the top end provides additional features like leather seats auto head lights, back camera and auto ORVM. The difference of amount is approximately of lakh.
I got the back cam installed and got leatherette seat covers at an additional cost of 16K only from the dealer
I have got the vehicle delivered within 15 days of booking and have already crossed 3K kms in a couple of months.
Had been too multiple long drives over weekends of 1000 -1200 kms
Pros -
1. Value for money - People say its just the premium segment of Ertiga, but it actually delivers way more features than Ertiga's top end , the cruise control feature its a cake walk for long highways.
2. The powerful AC in second row ensures the person in the third row can stay cool even in scorching temperature of 35-38C
3. The car is very spacious the leg space is very good even in 3rd row for a person with height if 5.10
4. Engine is very powerful and at the same time smooth and silent
5. The boot space is surprisingly amazing surprisingly even after reclining third row seats, you can fir in one large bag. 1 medium size bag and 2 cabin bags and 2 laptop bag packs (a couple of more can be added but it would block your rear view)
Cons -
1. The tyres should have been a little bigger as you can feel small potholes at a high speed.
2. There should have been a variant with panoramic sunroof, hill assist feature and ventilated seats (may be with an additional cost)
3. They should have provided 6 airbags instead of 2
4. 1 touch electronic tumble seat for second row
5. Diesel option to be provided
Fuel Efficiency
I am mentioning fuel efficiency separately cause it depends on your driving style. I am more of a cruiser usually on highways I cruise between 80-100 km/h where I was able to derive the mileage of 15-16 km/l wherein I drove form about 600kms one way 350 kms were on highway with all seats occupied and all AC vents blowing
In city (Mumbai) where my workplace is at 10kms and I travel in bumper to bumper traffic I was able to derive between 11-12km/l
Reason to buy XL6
1. Value for money
2. Spacious vehicle
3. Comfortable long drives
4. Low maintenance
