Maruti XL6 completes 3 years: Ownership facts & 21 feature additions

Upgraded to Michelin XM2 195/65R15 on D-day itself. One of the best things to happen to this car.

BHPian Leoshashi recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Update: XL6 was completed 3 years a couple of days ago. Since I was travelling, couldn't update the thread at the appropriate time.

Few Facts:

  • Odo is a touch above 40k kms and 4th year/40k PMS is pending.
  • No outstanding issues pending which need attention, the car has been as reliable as ever.
  • Updated the Insurance for the first time (last insurance was 3+3) and switched to Go Digit under Maruti insurance, changed from Universal Sompo earlier.

Warranty claims till now:

  • Boot struts, RH and LH, have been replaced twice till now.
  • ISG under recall
  • Driver-side seat for excessive play
  • RH chrome bar of the grill for peeling chrome finish.
  • IRVM for oxidation marks.

Changes done/Features added over the stock XL6:

  1. Complete soundproofing is done. Not the regular damping. Unfortunately lost most pics due to a corrupted SD card. Still have recovered some and a detailed post is coming soon. Has made a huge difference to the inside cabin comfort.
  2. Upgraded to Michelin XM2 195/65R15 on D-day itself. One of the best things to happen to this car. Hope Michelin sorts out its supply issues by the time the current set wears out.
