After being in the market for 3 years, the Maruti Suzuki XL6 has received a mid-cycle update, and that's to keep it up to date. Well, while the changes to the exterior are minimal, there is a load of features that are offered on it. Besides that, there's an all-new 1.5-litre petrol motor with smart hybrid technology on offer which makes it more fuel-efficient as well.
