Maruti Suzuki Baleno teaser

Maruti Suzuki India has launched the much anticipated New Baleno in India today (February 23). As revealed by the teasers, the Baleno facelift is receiving multiple new updates, along with some first in the segment features making it Maruti Suzuki's most feature packed car ever. From the looks of it, the new Baleno is getting multiple exterior updates as well. It will get multiple new features like Head-Up Display, a new infotainment system that will come with a 22.86 cm (9-inch) High-Definition display, “Surround Sense” powered by ARKAMYS, 360 View Camera among others. 

The new Maruti Suzuki Baleno will continue to be powered by the K-series 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. It is expected that Maruti Suzuki might add a CNG kit at the later stage as Tata did with Altroz. Maruti Suzuki discontinued diesel engines long ago after the govt implemented BS-VI norms in the country. Also, Maruti Suzuki Baleno will boast a 6-airbag setup to up its safety quotient, esp when going up against 5-star rated Tata Altroz.
