What is the resale value of a Suzuki XL6?
With crossovers and SUVs being the main choice for family transport these days, the humble MPV has had to take a back seat in the family driveway. There is, however, still a want and need for vehicles of this type. It's just not where you think it is, and that makes them more valuable than you think.
The Suzuki XL6 didn't set the sales chart on fire when it launched in 2023. Operating in a rather niche segment, it was not the ideal family car but rather aimed at rental fleets and transport companies.

The XL6 has really come into its own on the used market, though, with many ending up as informal transport vehicles in rural areas, and vehicles of this type are highly sought after by operators.
