Get Ready for Fun-Filled Family Adventures with the New Suzuki XL6!
In a world where large families are always on the lookout for more space and style, Suzuki steps up to the plate with its latest offering - the XL6. With seating for six, this SUV not only delivers on practicality but also amps up the fun factor for South African families.
XL6 Fits the Bill
The XL6 joins Suzuki's impressive SUV lineup, which already boasts stars like the recently launched Fronx, the rugged Jimny, the upcoming five-door Jimny, the sleek Grand Vitara, and beloved models like the S-Presso, Vitara, and Ignis.
Suzuki is bringing four versions of the XL6 to its dealerships. First up is the Suzuki XL6 in GL spec, offering a choice between a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking a bit more flair, the Suzuki XL6 GLX, also available with manual or auto transmission, kicks it up a notch.
Practicality Meets Comfort
The XL6, while not the flagship model, still packs a punch with its spacious six-seater layout. With a total length of 4.445 meters and a longer wheelbase of 2.74 meters, Suzuki has masterfully managed to fit in six seats. These seats include two individual front and middle seats and a bench seat in the third row.
Each row features two three-point seatbelts and separate head restraints, and you'll find that the front and middle row seats are not only adjustable but also equipped with foldable armrests. Need extra cargo space? No problem! The third row easily tilts forward and folds down in a 50:50 configuration.
Bold and Stylish
Suzuki isn't messing around with the XL6's design. They've gone big and bold, making sure this SUV stands out. Large headlamps and a prominent Suzuki hexagonal grille adorned with a sizeable Suzuki "S" logo and chrome garnish set the stage up front.
All XL6 variants feature LED head and tail lamps, LED front fog lamps, and chrome accents on the grille, door handles, and tailgate garnish. Plus, the XL6 boasts color-coded side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and on two-tone models, these mirrors sport a metallic black finish. They're electrically adjustable and foldable too.
The XL6 also gets some rugged touches with silver faux bash plates, silver side skirts, and a broad polycarbonate trim running along the lower bumper section, wheel arches, and door sills. Add in the impressive 180 mm ground clearance and 185/65 15" machine polished alloy wheels for both GL and GLX variants, and you've got one stylish SUV.
Under the hood, the XL6 packs a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 16 valves, multipoint fuel injection, and variable valve timing. It churns out 77 kilowatts at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Even with its size, the XL6 still manages to impress with its fuel efficiency, using only 6 liters per 100 km with the manual transmission and 6.1 liters per 100 km with the four-speed automatic.
Safety First
Suzuki takes safety seriously, and the XL6 is no exception. It features the HEARTECT platform, ensuring top-notch structural rigidity and crash protection without adding excess weight. Dual ISOFIX child-seat mounts, dual airbags, childproof rear door locks, ABS with EBD, ESP, and strengthened door impact beams are all standard.
Hill Hold Control is included in the GL and GLX automatic variants, while every XL6 has an alarm, electronic vehicle immobilizer, high-level stop lamp with LED lights, and four parking sensors.
Personalize Your XL6
To suit your style, the XL6 offers a range of unique colors and combinations, including Celestial Blue, Grandeur Grey, Arctic White Pearlescent, Splendid Silver, Opulent Red, and the intriguing Brave Khaki Pearlescent. The GLX models even offer a two-tone option for that extra touch of personalization.
Suzuki's Service and Support
As always, Suzuki delivers peace of mind with a comprehensive service and support package for the XL6. It includes a 4-year/60,000 km service plan, a 5-year/200,000 km promotional mechanical warranty with roadside assistance, and a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty.
The XL6 is en route to Suzuki dealers across Southern Africa and will be ready for test drives soon. So, get ready to "Think big" with Suzuki's XL6 and embark on memorable family adventures with style and space to spare!
