Leaked details on Maruti Suzuki Baleno Specification and variants show that, no 1.0-litre boosterjet, K12C will available for Indian buyers, however CVT automatic gearbox option is a welcome move.
One of the most anticipated hatchbacks ‘Maruti Suzuki Baleno‘ is all set to be launched on October 26. We have shown you exclusively how the car looks and what kind of color option it has on the interiors and exterior, but this time, 2016 Baleno is spotted undisguised in Pune. Likely, it is on ARAI test over there as Suzuki logo and Baleno badge is covered under the tapes.
Other interior shots which have come from all around the internet revealed that the interior is very good and spacious and comes with premium looking and feeling interior. Maruti is making sure its feature packed and hence it is the only hatchback in the country step aside the Active crossover i20 to get projector headlights and DRL headlights.
Engine options include a 1.2 petrol and 1.3 diesel. Surprisingly we are not getting 1.0l turbo petrol engine or the 1.3 Multijet that comes with 90 BHP tune. Maruti is still sticking to the 75 BHP and something that is truly shocking. If the 75 BHP version will also get the mild hybrid technology and mileage is as good as segment leader, that is the Honda Jazz, than Maruti can look forward to buyers . Mileage shouldn’t be a problem because it is based on the new light weight platform which makes the Ciaz. Reports suggest that the Baleno is 90 kgs lighter than the Swift which should make it reach mileage of 26+ quite easily.
The features list which is seen below variant has clearly show that the Maruti Suzuki Baleno will get features like Bluetooth Smartplay and much more as kit that is available on the higher variant. Good news is that the Maruti Baleno will be offering automatic petrol option right from launch. Something we told you long time back. Maruti only needs to keep the pricing competitive and it has a winner on its hand.
