Just a week ago, Maruti Suzuki introduced the updated version of the Baleno premium hatchback in the Indian market priced between Rs. 5.45 lakh and Rs. 8.77 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom New Delhi).

The front fascia gets sportier courtesy of the modified grille with 3D design while the bumper is redesigned for a more pleasing appearance. Additionally, the front fog lamps gain new garnish along with wider central air dam.

The Baleno also features new SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity as in the new-gen Wagon R.

No mechanical changes have been implemented as the 2019 Baleno derives power from the same 1.2-litre K series petrol and 1.3-litre DDiS diesel powertrains with CVT only offered in the petrol unit. Five speed manual transmission is provided as standard on both the engines.
