I am planning to buy an SUV/MPV in the range of 10-20 lacs. My family has 4 members and I'm looking for a comfortable car.
My buying/selection parameters would be:
1. Driving- Delhi/NCR and minimal off roading.
2. No use case for daily commuting as I am WFH. The monthly run will be 100-500 km.
3. Should be a family car that can comfortably accommodate 4-5 people.
4. Good safety parameters.
5. Value for money and budget.
6. With good interiors
I checked multiple cars and found XUV700, Grand Vitara, Creta, Harrier facelift, and XL6 2022 matching my needs.
Among these, I found only Suzuki XL6 as value for money and it's a 6-seater.
I have few queries:
1. Is XL6 2022 a good buy seeing the price and the features etc.?
2. If yes, should I go for the zeta manual (base) variant and upgrade camera, seats from the aftermarket or the higher variants with 360 degree camera?
3. As BS6 Phase 2 will roll out from April 2023, is it fine to buy XL6 with BS6 Phase 1?
4. It is having 4 airbags and 6 airbags will be mandatory from Oct 2023, should I wait?
5. Should I go for other cars like the new Harrier, Creta, XUV700 etc?

GaganJi,
I received a call from the dealer informing me that the XL6 has been allocated to me and will arrive at the dealership in 10-15 days. They are requesting a token payment of ₹50,000 to begin the process. I have also requested a pre-delivery inspection (PDI) and they require payment for that as well. I have already paid ₹11,000 as a booking deposit.
1. Should I make the payment of 50K now or wait for the car to arrive at the showroom?
2. I have also asked for the VIN or chassis number. Shall I wait for the number and later credit the amount?
What should be my next steps? Please advise.

GaganJi and team,
Yesterday, I booked the XL6 Zeta manual. Nexa has given me a tentative delivery timeline of 16~18 weeks and a hike in prices along with BS6 Phase 2 model is on the way. Thanks for your guidance.
Please share the steps before doing the payment and registration of the vehicle.

yes i have that same question If I change my employer/switch company after BH series registration, will there be any impact?

Nop - once vehicle registered with BH number you can continue to enjoy benefits by paying pro-rata tax payments. Only once you plan to sell car - then new owner must meet BH criteria to get number transferred to his name, else new owner has to apply for re-registration by paying in road tax
Is re-registration required after every 2 years along with the payment of the 2-year fees?
Registration done once, only road tax payment needs to be paid on pro-rata basis.

Hi,
As per Circular issued by MORTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways), Circular number CG-DL-E-27082021-229283 - is referred Road Tax will be calculated as per Invoice value
Pls refer excerpt
where categorically stated that Invoice value before GST should be taken as base.
So if any dealer doing same then is just depositing extra tax to Government kitty on behalf of customer
For Delhi Registration:- Apart from BH Road tax,
> Rs 600 as one time registration fee
> Rs 1500 as loan hypothecation as one time fee
> Rs 214 for HSRP Plate
> Rs 4000 for MCD Fee as one time fee
> Additional would be postal, fastag as per actuals
Hope should help !!

Today, I checked with Nexa dealer (Magic Motors, Dwarka) about the BH series. They told me that the ex-showroom price will be used for the tax calculation and as per them, it's (Road Tax & Registration cost divided by 7) for every 2 years, around Rs.16000.
I have seen your BH series calculation for XL6 Zeta -
Rs.10494 for 2 years - total comes as 10494*7 = Rs.73458 for 14 years, whereas upfront roadtax comes as Rs.114930.
There is a big difference of around Rs.41000 in the upfront vs BH series tax over 14 years. Is it correct?
Please advise.

I can only sell a BH-registered car to another individual who is also eligible for the same scheme. Otherwise, I will have to re-register the car in the respective state after paying pro-rata road tax and only then sell it to a private individual.
It seems a big hassle to re-register, then sell it and it totally nullifies the price benefit I have got at the time of purchase.
Please advise.
Abhilekh ji - am really unaware of any such clause
Where you read same. To best of my understanding - Once you own a BH Series car and if next buyer is not eligible for BH Series he can easily transfer car with a new registration mark of that state by paying applicable road tax on pro-rata basis (for left over period), but as seller you are not required to re-register car
Else if buyer is eligible then he can opt and continiue with BH Mark
What is the projected price hike? Is it a calculative choice to wait for BS6 Phase 2 and pay a higher price over the current model?
Official hike details will be there in 1st week of april, but should not be more than 3% of price of car
Yes with superior mileage, catalytics and latest emission with E20 compliant car would be worth a consideration,
I heard that there'll be issues during the resale of BH series cars. Is it true?
What issues do you foresee sir ?

I am waiting for XL6 BS6 Phase 2 model as dealers are not giving any discount on the Phase 1 model. But, they are unsure about its arrival and pricing. I checked at Delhi and Gurgaon Nexa showrooms.
All Production from 1st April 2023 would be of BS Phase 2 Cars only meeting real drive emissions only
So can expect dispatches to reach dealers from end of 1st Week of april at max
I assume that after 1st April, BS6 Phase 1 car won't be sold/registered. Am I correct?
Its about Manufacturing and wholesale from OEM to dealer
I dont think that there is any ban on retail sale or registration of BS6 phase 1 car post april.
Hope should help !!

Nop - no upfront discount at all on XL6
Dealer showroom actually on flip side state waiting period of 4 to 8 weeks
However,
1. You can ask dealer to show Insurance premium of all partnered companies under Maruti Insuance (as there is some differential premium offered under Maruti Insurance). Rest its recommended to opt for Maruti Insurance product only
2. Avoid in Bundled accessories pack
3. BH Series biggest issue in Delhi is on calculation - dealers are charging at Exshowroom Price (instead of Invoice price before GST & Cess as what BH Circular states) and even RTO is keeping silent on same. So you have to check with dealer first on whats the BH Amount and get his response on calculation without GST & Cess.
For all reasons if BH Series Road Tax is calculated as per prescribed method then indeed would turn out economical
Pls check - Calculate BH Series Road Tax

GaganJi,
Regarding XL6, how should I negotiate with the dealer? They are adamant about pricing. Attached is the price list for your reference.
Today, I went to the Mahindra showroom and met with a cold response. Even the basic trim of XUV700 has a 5~6 month waiting. Dropped the idea.
Also, what is the benefit of BH number over normal? My employer is operating in more than 4 locations and seems that I am eligible. In terms of price, it looks cost-effective over normal road tax. Please advise

Well - Safety come from
> Controlled Driving Speed
> Following Basics by keeping safe distance limits from cars in front, follow lane drive
> Active Safety Features including Braking, ESP
and then comes finally the passive safety of build quality - where car scored yes mediocre but now with 4 Airbags as console
Been most of the usage of yours going to be in city - dont think anything to worry
Why Maruti Sells high and carries high resale
> Very High on Reliability
> Superior Engine NVH
> Score High on Fuel Efficiency
> Practicality of Space with Features in Budget
> Competitive service cost with easy affordable spares
and although some cost cuttings are there with average platics - but overall from True Value for money with captain row seats on 2nd Row - XL6 Zeta is interesting proposition and not to worry

Thanks, Gagan Ji for your reply.
Most people are skeptical and complain about Maruti Suzuki Cars, their quality, safety, etc.
Is it really true after Toyota-Maruti JV?
Should I invest my money in Maruti cars?
Does XL6 has a better resale value as compared to its rivals?
