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.

XL6 Zeta AT offers the best value with all the essential features.

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.

I am 74 years old and have an XL6. I feel like buying an Innova HyCross G, as my driving is not much, but I love driving.

The Toyota Innova HyCross G is a sensible upgrade from your XL6, especially if you enjoy driving and value long-term ownership. The HyCross is a genuinely comfortable and spacious MPV with a strong reputation for reliability and durability, which is important at this stage of ownership. The G variant is well-equipped and offers a good balance of features without unnecessary complexity.However, given that your running is not much, the hybrid premium may not be fully justified from a fuel savings perspective. The HyCross is still a very comfortable and easy car to drive, but it is a large vehicle and may feel unnecessarily big if you are not regularly carrying a full family or using the third row.If you love driving and want something more engaging, you could also consider the Skoda Kushaq. It is smaller, more driver-focused of an SUVs with strong turbo petrol engines and a more enjoyable driving experience. Its is also easier to manoeuvre in the city and more suited to lower running.Ultimately, the decision comes down to your priorities. If you value space, comfort and long-term reliability, the HyCross G is a great choice. If you want a more engaging driving experience and do not need the extra space, the Kushaq would be a better fit.
