I recommend choosing the XL6. It offers a more premium look, better features, and the Nexa experience compared to the Rumion. No need to wait for the XL7 if you need a car now.

The XL-6 is easy to get in and out of, which is helpful for older people. The cabin is quiet and the AC cools very well. The middle seats are like two single sofas, very comfortable for long sitting. It feels more relaxing for daily city use and occasional outstation trips.

Do not go for the XL6. Worst car in the category with a below par engine.

XL6 with 1.5 liter engine offers good real world driving experience. more displacement gives better power for the budget

I’m currently driving a 2017 Maruti Baleno and looking to upgrade to an MPV for more space and comfort. The XL6 Automatic is on top of my list because of Maruti’s low running costs, reliability, and servicing.Which variant is suited for Bangalore usage at a decent price? I want the best balance of features vs value.What are other options– I’m specifically looking for an AT MPV/7-seater with low maintenance, good cabin quality, and strong after-sales. Does anything beat Maruti here, or is XL6 still the best bet? What is your opinion on second hand? My budget is 15 lakhs and what is your take on going for a second hand?

Go for a lightly used 2022-on Maruti XL6 Zeta Automatic, and you’ll get the best mix of comfort, features and Maruti peace-of-mind while staying near your Rs. 15 lakh cap in Bengaluru. The 6-speed auto is smooth in traffic, captain seats make second-row comfort a big step up from your Baleno, and running costs of this MPV stay friendly. New-for-new, the Zeta is the value pick; the Alpha mainly adds nice-to-haves. The catch is that the XL6 is a 6-seater, and with all rows up, the boot is small. Also, with a full load it feels just okay on highways, not brisk.If you want seven seats, look at the Maruti Ertiga Automatic or Toyota Rumion Automatic. Same proven hardware, low upkeep, wide service network, and better third-row access. Cabin quality is simpler than XL6, but perfectly usable. In Bengaluru, both autos usually creep over Rs. 15 lakh on-road, so used makes sense here too.If you must buy a new car under Rs. 15 lakh, the Renault Triber automatic is the only realistic seven-seater, but it feels a size smaller, and the engine feels weak with seven onboard. After-sales is also patchy and not as strong as Maruti-Toyota.So yes, XL6 still fits your brief best. Buy a good used, low km, 2022-on Zeta AT, and you’re sorted.
