Stylish Update for Seven-Seat Families
Maruti’s New XL7 2025 Offers Luxury Feel, 35 km/l Mileage and Easy ₹12,500 EMI Maruti Suzuki has pulled the covers off the 2025 XL7, a fresh take on its popular three-row crossover. The new model carries bolder LED headlamps, a gloss-black grille with chrome studs, and chunky 16-inch alloy wheels that lift its curb appeal. Measuring 4.45 meters bumper to bumper, the XL7 squeezes into tight mall parking spots yet seats seven in comfort. A raised ride height of 200 mm and silver skid plates add SUV attitude without hurting fuel numbers.
Premium Cabin With Smart Tech
Open the door, and the XL7 welcomes you with leather-look seats, copper-orange accent stitching, and a soft-touch dash insert that spans the cabin width. The middle row now slides an extra 90 mm to balance legroom between rows two and three, making long trips easier for adults in back. Up front, a 9-inch floating touchscreen runs wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A panoramic glass roof on the Alpha trim brings extra light, while tri-zone climate control keeps each row at the right temperature.
Efficient yet Punchy 1.5-Liter Hybrid
Power comes from Maruti’s new K15C Smart Hybrid engine, a 1,462 cc four-cylinder paired with a 48-volt starter-generator. Output stands at 103 hp and 137 Nm, sent through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters or a five-speed manual. Thanks to engine stop-start and electric torque assist, the XL7 posts an impressive 35 km per liter in ARAI tests—roughly 20 percent better than last year’s model. A light curb weight of 1,210 kg and low-rolling-resistance tires help it stretch a full 45-liter tank beyond 1,500 km on highway runs.
