The new Maruti Suzuki XL7 has received minor changes in terms of features. The exterior of the car remains the same as the Maruti Suzuki XL6.

In terms of measurements, the Maruti Suzuki XL7 is 5mm longer and 10mm taller than the already existing XL6. The boot space offered by the XL7 is 153 litres if all the rows are used by passengers. If you fold the second and the third row, the boot space is about 803 litres. This is significantly more than what the Ertiga offers in the same state.
