Starting July 2025, the XL6 comes equipped with six airbags as standard fitment across all its variants.

This bold update not only signifies Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to passenger safety but also strengthens the XL6’s appeal as a family-first vehicle in an increasingly competitive market. With this new addition of a safety feature, Maruti Suzuki has also increased the actual price of the car by 0.8%. Let's take a look at the new update on the XL6 in detail.
