Suzuki XL6 Review: New Suzuki 6-seater SUV better than an Ertiga?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- 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.

Suzuki is building what Toyota used to build.
Simple Reliable and Affordable cars
Your energy is contagious, Jacob. Thanks for the great review! Fronx driver here. Fuel economy on Suzuki vehicles is phenomenal!
Contagious energy, that's the exact phrase I was looking for. 😅 His review was very pleasant to watch.
Love the enthusiasm every time without fail!
You know it's always a vibe when bra Jacob is in the house🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent review bro thank you
nice review my man!
Wow what a review...i just like the back end? Looks so busy!
Excellent review!
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.
Yeah it is.
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.
I love it's presents at the front ❤❤ well done Suzuki ❤❤❤
Jacob is getting better at these! more relaxed. keep it up brother
Jacob thanks./ I really like this car. We are driving a Brezza 1.5GL A/T what a car which we are happy with. The other day the Dealers driver took me home in XL6 and I was really impressed
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
I drive the h6 and am averaging 14.5/100km on a bad day is 18.5/100 that's ridiculous
Not a bad vehicle.
Needs a 40/50mm lift, slightly bigger & wider wheels to sit just right.
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
Nice review. About the auto gearbox you dissed. I'm thinking you are mistaking the AMT (in smaller Suzukis) with the torque converter gearbox available in the 1.5l cars
Jacob just brings extra energy to this team.Well done Ciro and team,As for the XL6 for me as a family guyt,this can work without breaking the bank
Nice review China.
In the secret compartments in the boot there's a thing where you use the spanner and the spear tire falls on the ground
SUZUKI NEEDS TO GET IN TO THE BAKKIE MARKET
They have the Carry for that.
@@mindfreeze0838 Leisure bakkies
@@mindfreeze0838 like a proper bakkie not a work horse, p series kind of vibes, just for someone who is looking for a van with out the functionality of a truck like your hulix...
Half ton too😅
The Gofiness for me, Jacob
Can you do a review of the new Mitsubishi Xpander
Nice little car . Will you please drive the Fronx? 🆒😎👍
We have a review of the Fronx on the channel already :)
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.
I have my Suzuki xl6 for over a month now and it started at 15km/l now its around 13.6km/l. Very nice vehicle but extremely heavy on fuel
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.
I always thought GLX version of any Suzuki meant extra airbags , so what does the GLX bring to the table compared to the GL model ,
Thought the same, brochure confirm both the GLX and GL only come with dual front airbags. That’s not good enough for a people carrier imo.
@@ganjabobby so in other words a car buyer in eSwatini, Zimbabwe, Botswana or any of our SADC neighbours are in safer cars since they import them from JDM & UK secondhand market and EU before Brexit and JDM are not going let what we are sold to flood their markets because our safety feature are pathetic 😳😳
I was also saying to myself that "damn Jacob is really pushing this car" 😭😂🔥 as we wait for Toyota to also release a car like this.🤧
Overpriced with less standard features
Really how often do you use a spare? I think I got a puncture about 12 years ago. The boot space your will use daily.
New xl6 vs low mileage caddy 7 seater. Same price. Which would win?
The one with more airbags for safety measures I think
Personality is ✨️giving✨️
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
And with Toyota being their associate, they now have a target on their engine bay, or maybe they might turn out like the first gen Renault Sandero which they share everything with the Nissan NP 200 but nobody stole a Sandero
That's your country's problem to address, Suzuki only makes cars and motorcycles
It is struggling 😮😮 .....it's just need gear 6
8.7 l per 100km is not economical. Can we get a bigger engine, maybe or a turbo.
That's how they keep there cars cheap.
2 airbags? Aowa😂😂
If that is the 1.5 L VVTI motor it basically is a Toyota Avanza derivetive. Not the most economical
@francoisrossouw1656 - Not the same engine at all. The Avanza engine was shared with the Daihatsu Terios years ago.
@@jpmegane that's because the Avanza was a rebadged Daihatsu Xenia
@@josh3221ify true, but it is not the same engine as in the Suzuki. The Daihatsu/Toyota engine code is 3SZFE and the Suzuki/Toyota is K15MP. The 3SZFE was not economical at all.
A direct derivative to Honda BRV
It's too big for the (overused) engine. Mazda's 2.0 N/A gets similar if not better economy for on the CX-5 whilst giving more power.
And they cost double, they are not even 2 times more powerful.
This takes 12s to reach 100
CX5 takes 10 seconds
@@josh3221ify the CX-5 is a heavier and overall more pleasant car. Suzuki could offer the 1.4 boosterjet engine as an option, or in GLX trim.
@@tungstencarbide7255 can it seat 6 people? Even 3 people wouldn't be comfortable in the rear seats of a cx5 on a long drive.
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.
1 less seat for R60k extra. The maths isn't mathing
A Ferrari has only 2 seats for R3M extra
Jah the car is okay for Uber and for business not for personal car
This Suzuki salesman was desperate to make a sale
its just an ertigar with 1 less seat
8.7 is bad for this car. The previous 1.4 swift did 5.3.
This is not a Swift, it's a much bigger car. 8.7 is decent for a 1.5 motor with this body.
Yes obviously but it's still too high.@@jpmegane
Thats not an SUV is a MPV
Prove it
8.7l/100km is not economical, how can you justify saying that? For a modern day 1.5 manual, no ways man! Suzuki is known for their economical nature, is this car a dud? Not very good commentary.
The fortuner has worse fuel economy in comparison.
Dude doesnt know much about cars 😂😂😂you should notice the things he says sometimes ...
2.4 GD-6 gets 8l and 7.3l on the highway
I think he got that due to he's driving style but surely it's economical when driven properly
Okay he was overselling this one. But can you agree that for the price, there is no competition for this car in either fuel economy or other things!!!
Awesome review but Suzuki especially in these models must increase airbags
No point having six seater but no airbags for other passengers must they get injured?
Anyway well done Suzuki makes a car for everyone
Il save all my cash and get a baleno only 🫡
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.
