Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the much-awaited Maruti XL7 2025 in India, a sportier and more premium version of its successful Ertiga MPV. Designed to offer the comfort of a 7-seater with the road presence of an SUV, the new XL7 comes with bold styling, practical features, and impressive mileage. With prices starting at ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the XL7 enters the growing market of family-focused lifestyle vehicles.
SUV-Inspired Design That Stands Out
The Maruti XL7 brings in rugged, SUV-like styling with a wide grille finished in piano black, smoked LED headlamps, chunky skid plates, and dual-tone body cladding. The roof rails and bold wheel arches enhance its muscular look, while the LED tail lamps and spoiler at the rear complete the sporty design. Unlike the Ertiga, the XL7 gets a blacked-out treatment for a more aggressive appearance and urban flair.
Spacious 7-Seater Cabin with Smart Utility
Inside, the XL7 offers a 3-row layout with flexible seating options. The cabin comes with all-black interiors accented with orange stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and soft-touch panels in higher variants. It features a 7-inch SmartPlay infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, push-button start, automatic climate control, rear A/C vents, and multiple charging points for all passengers. The second-row captain seat option provides enhanced comfort in the 6-seater variant.
Refined Engine with Hybrid Tech
The XL7 is powered by Maruti’s tried and tested 1.5L K15C petrol engine paired with Smart Hybrid technology. It offers a balanced output of 103 PS and comes with both 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options. The hybrid system improves fuel efficiency, delivering a claimed mileage of 20.27 kmpl, making the XL7 one of the most economical 7-seaters in its class. A factory-fitted CNG variant is expected to follow soon.
Safety and Ride Comfort
Maruti has equipped the XL7 with important safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill hold assist, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The ride quality is tuned for Indian roads, offering a balance of high-speed stability and pothole absorption, ideal for long highway drives as well as city usage.
Variants and Pricing
The XL7 is available in multiple trims, with both 6- and 7-seater configurations. Prices start at ₹11.49 lakh and go up to ₹13.99 lakh for the fully loaded automatic variant. Bookings are now open through Nexa dealerships and Maruti’s official website, with deliveries set to begin soon.
Conclusion
The Maruti XL7 2025 offers the perfect blend of SUV styling, MPV practicality, and Maruti’s signature fuel efficiency. It’s built for growing families who want more space, comfort, and road presence without breaking the budget. Whether it’s city driving or weekend getaways, the XL7 is ready to deliver a complete family experience on wheels.
