Maruti Suzuki Baleno gets a mid-life update with fresh set of cosmetic and added features inside the cabin. The vehicle is available in four trims – Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. The vehicle is available in petrol and diesel engine options. The vehicle is available in six colour options – pearl artic white, premium silver, nexa blue, autumn orange, phoenix red and magma grey.
The Baleno is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that generates 84bhp of power and 140Nm of torque. The diesel on the other hand gets a 1.3-litre engine that generates 75bhp of power and 190Nm of torque. Both the engines get a five speed manual as standard, while the petrol offers a CVT option.
Also, on offer are a host of premium features like start/stop button with smart key and keyless entry, electrically foldable ORVMs and a 7-inch infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There are a few good moves by Maruti, in terms of safety, by making ABS, EBD & dual front airbags as standard across all variants. The Baleno is a premium offering by Maruti Suzuki.
One of the biggest advantages of having the Baleno over the completion is the access to Maruti’s unmatched after sales and service network.
The headlights may not look all that different vs the original model, but in place of the bi-xenon projector headlights, it now sports LED projectors like the Swift, Ignis, Dzire, Ciaz and S-Cross.
The hatch has a large contour that runs in tandem with the end of the tail lamps. The tail lamps feature LEDs which look classy. The badging is minimalistic with a Suzuki ‘S’ badge in the centre and ‘Baleno’ logo on the left. There is a roof spoiler with an integrated brake light.
The boot space is simply huge and is illuminated. At 339 litres, this stands just below the Jazz. The boot just gobbles up large suitcases with ease. The only drawback, the loading lip is too high.
The three spoke steering wheel gets small chrome inserts at the end of each spoke. The steering mounted music controls are large chunky buttons on the left. You get both reach & rake adjustment on the steering wheel which has now become a standard in the segment. The instrument cluster is a huge step up from what Maruti usually offers. At first glance, it appears to have been lifted off the S-Cross, but look closely and it is not the case. It runs a sporty blue theme and the MID has a host of readouts and charts that kept us, a geeky bunch, happy. You get two identically sized dials for the speedo & rev-counter. At the bottom of each dial is an integrated dial for fuel level and temperature.
Another major highlight of the 2019 Baleno is the new infotainment system. It’s still a 7-inch touchscreen, but is a new unit made by Harman instead of the old one that debuted in the Ciaz, developed by Bosch. This is the same touchscreen seen in the 2019 Wagon R and has a slightly more polished user-interface.
The ARAI fuel economy stands at 21.4kmpl. This is almost 3kmpl ahead of the claims by the Elite i20 and the Jazz. The Polo’s 16.5kmpl is way behind the competition. In terms of the automatics, the Elite i20 still doesn’t have an auto option and the Baleno’s 17.8kmpl lies a good 3kmpl ahead of the Jazz.
