Suzuki XL6 (2023) Launch Review

Summary

So the Suzuki XL6 is a good proposition, but who is it for? I touched on that before and, perhaps this is an inelegant oversimplification, but the XL6 is aimed at small families, not the ride-hailing app and private shuttle markets. Whereas some of its rivals are, well, frumpy, the XL6 comes across as stylish – but also comfy, roomy and well-appointed with premium touches. That it remains affordable, well that’s a Suzuki hallmark and certainly one of the factors that have drawn so many customers to the brand.

DRIVEN: Suzuki XL6 is a six-seat crossover that fills an interesting niche

The last few weeks has been busy for Suzuki with the launch of the Fronx, followed a few days later by the XL6 and then 24 hours later the showing of the five-door Jimny (currently being homologated) at the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami.

You can see it on the monthly sales charts as well, with the importer having steadily increased their sales to where they currently sit in third place overall and knocking hard on the door to occupy second.

What we’re talking about here though is the new Suzuki XL6, XL because it’s extra large and 6 because it’s a six-seater which is why Suzuki SA have put together a #thinkbig campaign around it.

It has a total length of 4.445 metres and a wheelbase of 2.74 metres, which has allowed Suzuki to fit six seats with two individual seats, captain seats if you will, in the middle and a bench seat in the third row that can fold forward in a 50:50 configuration for more luggage space.

It slots in below the flagship Grand Vitara in terms of specification but offers the biggest seating capacity of all their SUVs.

So what's the feeling on this car? It's got me interested but media has gone quiet for a few weeks. Is it generally available?

I know @Craig_ has a major dislike for her.

I'm on the fence somewhat.

Yeah, Juliet and that guy with the ill fitting shirts are probably two of the worst car reviewers I've ever come across (excluding a few Aussie reviewers, can't stand that exaggerated accents).
