Why the plastic cladding over the wheel arches??

Why the plastic cladding over the wheel arches??

So that ertiga hybrid can be sold as xl6 to indians.

Design is decent but looks so undertyred.

A good looking car except the tyres.

What about the archic 4speed TC from Esteem Era?
MS really takes it's India operations for granted, who will lineup in hoards for this contraption.

Friends,
I feel with the XL-6 MSIL has done something similar to what Honda did with Mobilio & BR-V. The understated look of Mobilio didn't strike a chord with the buyers so they took a chance and introduced BR-V with a slightly more aggressive design and in comparison to Mobilio the BR-V was able to grab attention. While for Honda, it might have helped to give a new lease of live to a low-selling vehicle but, in case of MSIL, I feel there wasn't any real need to launch something like XL-6 which essentially is an Ertiga under the skin. This isn't the first time Maruti has done so. Recall the Celerio twins i.e one with the cladding and one the normal one. Ertiga in itself is a capable MPV and doesn't require such beefed up avtars. The XL-6 without diesel engine and a dated AT box might be just another contraption running on road and that leaves a big room for MPV(s) like Marazzo to come in. Honestly, if you ask me, I would go in for a Marazzo than a XL-6.

Maruti could have brought in the CVT from Yaris (Toyota - Suzuki tie up) , sure this would have been a game changer then.

But then cost would have gone up,and beyond,
Masses would not have appreciated that.

Mayankji
Ertiga is for masses , while XL6 is targetting the mass consumers , moreover the segment they are targetting lready have competent models now , so unless Maruti ensures that it ticks all the boxes , it won't sell.

The 4 speed TC , reminded me of Fortuner automatic (3L automatic ) , it had a poor reputation as had lags .

Really sums up my thoughts as well about the XL6. I am really confused on what to react to it and your post perfectly sums up my thoughts.
