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.
