The Maruti Suzuki XL7 2025 is the rugged, SUV-inspired sibling of the XL6, expected to make its way to Indian roads this year with bold design, updated tech, and strong market appeal. Based on the tried-and-tested Ertiga platform, the XL7 combines MPV practicality with SUV styling, offering 7 seats, Maruti’s latest Smart Hybrid petrol engine, and sporty aesthetics. It targets urban families and touring lovers who want more space, presence, and fuel efficiency without breaking the bank.
1.5L Smart Hybrid Petrol Engine With Manual and Automatic Options
The XL7 is powered by Maruti’s trusted 1.5L K15C DualJet petrol engine, paired with the Smart Hybrid system that includes a lithium-ion battery and start-stop tech. It produces 103 PS and 137 Nm torque, and will be available with both 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The system delivers a claimed mileage of up to 20.27 km/l, ensuring wallet-friendly long drives.
SUV-Inspired Styling With Sporty Design Elements and Bold Dimensions
Unlike the XL6’s crossover stance, the XL7 carries more upright SUV-inspired design cues like a blacked-out grille, chunkier front bumpers, roof rails, side body cladding, and 17-inch black alloy wheels. The LED headlamps, DRLs, and tail lamps are sleek and modern, giving the XL7 a strong road presence. It is slightly longer than the XL6, adding a sporty and aggressive look to its MPV core.
7-Seater Layout With Versatile Cabin and Premium Touches
While the XL6 offers captain seats in the second row, the XL7 opts for a 2-3-2 full bench layout, making it a proper 7-seater ideal for joint families. The interiors feature dual-tone upholstery, a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen, connected car features, cruise control, rear AC vents, and ample boot space with foldable third-row seats. The raised seating offers excellent visibility, while wide-opening doors ensure easy access.
Safety Features and Nexa-Level Equipment Package
The XL7 is expected to come with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with hill hold assist, reverse parking camera with sensors, ISOFIX mounts, and high-speed warning alert. Built on the HEARTECT platform, it promises a lightweight yet strong structure. Additional features like auto headlamps, UV-cut glass, and rear defogger enhance comfort and safety.
Variants, Price Range and Competition
The XL7 will likely be sold via Maruti’s Nexa network, positioned slightly above the XL6. Expected pricing ranges from ₹12 lakh to ₹14.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with the Kia Carens, Toyota Rumion, Hyundai Alcazar (entry variants), and even the Ertiga ZXi+ for buyers looking for space with premium feel and rugged look.
Conclusion: The Maruti Suzuki XL7 2025 is all set to be a compelling option in India’s growing 3-row segment, offering bold SUV design, hybrid efficiency, and full 7-seater flexibility. Ideal for families wanting a premium MPV feel with a strong exterior style, the XL7 blends utility and urban appeal in one reliable package.
