Suzuki XL6 MPV 7-seater launching in PH to rival Rush, Xpander

Suzuki PH will launch their newest MPV, the XL6, this year which will rival the Toyota Rush and Mitsubishi Xpander. The XL6 is an upgrade to the 7-seater Ertiga but will share the same 1.5-liter engine.

The Suzuki XL6 is a 7-seater MPV with sporty styling compared to its Ertiga sibling. It’s also an alternative to most compact crossover as the XL6 has plenty of ground clearance.
