Both cars are similar in terms of cabin space and comfort; however, the
Kia's interior feels a touch more upmarket and welcoming, while the
Maruti Suzuki XL6 feels functional. For similar money as the XL6, you will get an entry-level variant of the
Kia Carens Clavis diesel, but the good news is that even the base variant is quite well equipped.
Yes, it might miss some features available in the top XL6, like ventilated front seats, among others, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. Its diesel engine is very efficient, and its highway performance (especially with a full load of passengers and luggage) will be better than
Maruti's.
