Unlike the WagonR that rides on 14-inch wheels, the Maruti XL5 will be equipped with bigger 15-inch alloy wheels that seem to be sourced from the Ignis. At the back, the compact hatchback will feature LED taillamps similar to its donor sibling.
Interior details of the Maruti XL5 are still under the wraps. It’s likely to be more premium in terms of comfort and safety. The compact hatchback might offer automatic climate control, new upholstery, push stat-stop button and more. Read – Maruti Suzuki Working On New BS6 Diesel Engines
