The Maruti XL6, a luxury 6-seater MPV from Maruti Suzuki, has gained attention for its stylish design and comfortable cabin. However, for many prospective buyers, safety—particularly crash test performance—is a key consideration. Let’s explore the Maruti XL6 NCAP rating.
XL6: A brief history
The Maruti XL6 was launched as a more expensive option to the famous Ertiga. With its unique front-end style, captain seats in the middle row and extra features, the XL6 caters to families looking for a comfortable and stylish people carrier. Since its release, it has been marketed as Maruti's more high-end MPV.
XL6 Global NCAP safety ratings
As of April 2025, neither Global NCAP nor Bharat NCAP has tested the Maruti XL6. These independent safety assessment groups have tested many cars on the Indian market for crashworthiness, but the XL6 has not yet been officially evaluated. In other words, there are no official crash test results for the car yet.
XL6 adult occupant protection rating
Since the Maruti XL6 has not been tested by Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP yet, no official adult passenger safety grade is provided.
XL6 child occupant protection rating
The Maruti XL6 currently lacks official kid passenger protection ratings from Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP.
XL6 safety features list
Despite not having official NCAP scores, the Maruti XL6 does come packed with several safety features:
- Driver and passenger airbags
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
- Power control
- Automatic temperature control
- Connected car features
FAQs
- Does the XL6 have side and hood airbags?
The higher versions of the XL6 offer four airbags, but complete side and curtain airbag safety is limited.
- Is the XL6 built on a safe platform?
The XL6 shares its base with the Ertiga, which is built with consideration for current safety standards, although without official NCAP scores, a fair comparison is challenging.
Conclusion
While the Maruti XL6 comes with a good set of safety features, the lack of XL6 Global NCAP rating makes it difficult to compare its safety with that of other cars. When buying a Maruti XL6, it's essential to consider proper car insurance coverage in addition to the vehicle's safety features. Third party car insurance is required by law in India and covers losses to other vehicles or property. Given the XL6's high prices, investing in comprehensive coverage rather than just the minimum third-party insurance is recommended.
