The new XL6 gets a chrome lining on the tailgate and extra chrome accents in the front grille. The rear roof-mounted spoiler has also been modified to give it a sportier appearance. In addition, instead of 15-inch black alloy wheels, the car now has new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels on the side. The rest of the design is the same as the first XL6 model. The new model's height, however, has been increased by 55 mm.

The XL6's interior is nearly identical after the facelift, although it now has extra features. The 7-inch infotainment screen remains the same, but it now comes with the SmartPlay Pro system. Also, the new XL6 gets ventilated front seats which are the first for a Maruti vehicle in the country. TPMS, 360-degree camera and 40+ Suzuki connect features such as remote HVAC controls, driving behavior analysis, car status report, vehicle safety, and security alert are also included in the updated equipment list.
