Maruti Suzuki is once again targeting India’s growing middle-class families with a brand-new offering — the Maruti XL7, a 7-seater MPV designed to deliver a mix of style, comfort, and performance at an affordable price point. Aimed at buyers seeking a premium interior without stretching their budget, the XL7 could emerge as a strong rival to segment leaders like the Toyota Innova and Maruti’s own Ertiga.
A Unique Fusion of Looks and Comfort
The upcoming XL7 sports a bold and stylish exterior paired with a plush cabin. The MPV is expected to feature premium leather seats that offer both a luxurious feel and enhanced comfort. The modern dashboard layout, combined with spacious seating, aims to make long-distance travel more relaxing and family-friendly.
Feature-Rich Cabin with Emphasis on Safety
Maruti is equipping the XL7 with a host of smart features. These include:
-
Touchscreen infotainment system
-
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
-
LED headlamps
-
Automatic climate control
-
5 airbags
-
ABS with EBD
-
Seatbelt alert system
These safety and convenience features position the XL7 as a well-rounded MPV for urban and semi-urban users alike.
Engine & Mileage: Powerful Yet Efficient
Under the hood, the Maruti XL7 will be powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 105 PS of power and 138 Nm of torque. This engine is expected to be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, offering a solid balance of performance and fuel efficiency — a crucial combination for Indian buyers.
Pricing & Launch Timeline
As of now, Maruti has not officially confirmed the launch date or pricing of the XL7 MPV. However, media reports suggest that the vehicle could debut in October 2025, with a price range between ₹12 to ₹13 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing strategy places it directly in competition with other popular 7-seaters in the Indian market.
A New Contender in India’s 7-Seater Space
With its premium design, practical features, and competitive price tag, the Maruti XL7 could be a game-changer in the mid-size MPV segment. It remains to be seen how it performs against rivals once officially launched, but expectations are already building among Indian families looking for value without compromise.
