Suzuki XL6 Review: New Suzuki 6-seater SUV better than an Ertiga?

Поділитися

  • The 2023 Suzuki XL6 is a newcomer to the South African car market. The 6-seater SUV or people carrier (MPV) is similar to the Ertiga in many ways but features a Captain's seating layout in the rear. This gives a bit more of a luxurious feel to the cabin and leans it more towards the family car buyer as opposed to the e-hailing fleet buyer.
    Equipped with the same running gear as many other Suzuki models such as the Ertiga and Grand Vitara, how does the XL6 distinguish itself from other Suzukis? Jacob Moshokoa reviews the new model digging into details such as the price, the interior, which model to choose as well as whether he prefers the automatic or manual XL6.

    I agree. I'm on Suzuki number 4. Never had a worry. Just wish the 1.4T was in more of their cars, it's such an amazing engine. The 1.5 isn't bad and it can do more than you'd expect from it's figures, but man, that 1.4T is the way to go.

      The xl6 is a great family hauler for persons that want a little luxury and rock solid mechanicals. Personally I would take the auto, but not the 4 speed, but the 6 speed torque converter. That gearbox does much better on the highway as it keeps the revs below 2500rpm at 80kph. Hypothetical gearboxes aside its still a good package for a underserved segment.

    8.7l/100km on Suzuki 1.5l engines is still lighter for Haval's 1.5ltr engines which gets you over 10.5l/100km easily. Worst I've experienced with a Haval 1.5l was 12.8l/100km

    Great car with great fuel economy. I managed to average between 6.0 and 6.5l/100km from 4 speed autobox and it stays within these figures in everyday normal driving. On one particular trip I saw 5.4l/100km. Even with some high speed driving i would not see anything above 7l/100km. The only down thing is the 4spd auto, it's not really bad but I think the stick will be much better for smooth power delivery coz the autobox sometime hunt for gears and cause motor to drone on hills

    The xl6 is a practical family car thats fuel efficient (despite the figure quoted in this review) , practical(yes the spare tyre where it is can be an issue but you dont lower it outside the car but with the screw inside the boot) with a rock solid powertrain(wish it had the 6 speed auto but Suzuki SA is allergic to it with its euro import models). The competition in this segment of the market is space and most people compare this with a 7 seat suv like the Fortuner which is silly(the 3rd row in this is way more useable for one)these are way more practical.

    Thanks for the review, this is excellent Budget MPV. Depending where you are and driving behavior this vehicle is fuel economic for me , its about 13,6 -13.9KM per 100KM which much better than the VW Tiguan Allspace I previously owned in terms of price ,Fuel consumption and space.

    The 1 problem that we will experience in the upcoming years will be a high amount of hijackings of these 1.5 litre Suzukis. Almost all their model offerings in SA have the same engine...it's going to cause a lot of problems because it will easily be interchangeable with most of their cars. A counter to this is that the aftermarket parts will be easily affordable and readily available like the VW's and all. It's both a good and bad thing, in my opinion...only time will tell

      The xl6 is light hence the smaller engine. The power to weight ratio is adequate, I honestly think the slight bump in performance on the Mazda is insignificant, maybe in more powerful models from Germany.

    • @josh3221ify

      Thats why your best bet is to not get involved in an accident, especially side impact, because it shows poor driving skill and observation. airbags can cause serious injury, some deploy slow or fast and dont do anything to save drivers, strength of the structure is more important.
