Suzuki showcased the updated XL7 three-row MPV, offering a comprehensive visual preview of the India-bound Maruti Suzuki XL6 facelift.

At the same time, Suzuki has revealed the refreshed XL7, providing a strong indication of what the next Maruti XL6 facelift could look like.
While the two vehicles cater to different segments, both highlight the growing focus on electrification and updated family vehicles for markets such as India.

Suzuki XL7 Hints at the Next Maruti XL6 Facelift
The updated Suzuki XL7 showcased at the 2026 Indonesia Motor Show provides an early look at the design and equipment expected on the upcoming Maruti XL6 facelift for India. While the overall silhouette remains familiar, the MPV receives several exterior and interior revisions.
Refreshed Exterior Design
The front of the XL7 has been redesigned with a larger grille, a revised bumper and updated LED lighting elements. It also gets newly styled alloy wheels and subtle styling changes at the rear, giving the MPV a fresher appearance without changing its overall character.
Cabin Gets New Features
Inside, the XL7 receives several convenience upgrades:
The updated dashboard features a larger 10-inch infotainment system with smartphone connectivity.
Features such as wireless charging, a 360-degree camera and Suzuki Connect enhance everyday usability.
The XL7 retains its practical three-row layout with automatic climate control, a digital instrument cluster and refreshed interior trim.
Powertrain
The Indonesian-spec XL7 continues with a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox. The India-bound Maruti XL6 facelift is expected to retain its 1.5-litre petrol engine with five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission options, while the factory-fitted CNG variant is also likely to continue.
Although an India launch timeline has not been announced, the J5 EV's debut suggests it remains part of JSW's future product plans for the Indian market.
