The premium 6-seater MPV from NEXA — Ertiga's more refined, captain-seat sibling
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is essentially a premium, feature-enriched version of the Ertiga, sold through Maruti's upmarket NEXA dealership network. Its key differentiator is the 6-seat captain-chair layout — individual seats in the middle row instead of a bench — which offers significantly more comfort for middle-row passengers on long journeys.
The XL6 adds more features over the Ertiga, including a larger touchscreen, connected car features, and a more premium interior finish that justifies its slightly higher price. The CNG option carries over from the Ertiga, keeping running costs low.
For families that frequently travel with 5-6 people and spend hours on the road, the captain-seat layout of the XL6 makes a noticeable difference in comfort compared to the bench-seat Ertiga.
