Today with a complete and detailed review of the 2025 Maruti Suzuki XL6 Zeta Variant, and this time we have the CNG version in front of us. This can be considered as the second base variant because the XL6 comes in two trims — Zeta and Alpha.
Even though it is the base variant, the features offered in this car will make you forget that it’s an entry-level model. In this review, we will talk about the new six airbag update, exterior changes, interior updates, price difference due to GST, and available Diwali offers.
Exterior Design and Styling
Looking at the new 2025 Maruti Suzuki XL6 Zeta variant, it comes with a completely refreshed rear profile. The biggest change is the new rear spoiler, similar to what we see in the new 2025 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. This spoiler, along with the high-mounted stop lamp, completely changes the look of the car from behind.
After the addition of six airbags, the rear profile now looks more dynamic and premium.
