New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki has finally started booking the Baleno. Also, the company has decided to release its first teaser for the new Baleno. As per earlier reports, the 2022 model will come with several changes on both the inside and outside. It is clear from the teaser video released by Maruti that the all-new Baleno will be a lot more technically sound than before.
An example of this is the segment’s first heads-up display that gives vital information from the speedometer, climate control, etc. This will surely attract buyers towards the upcoming premium hatchback from Maruti Suzuki.
Announcing the bookings for the new Baleno, Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Director (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “The Baleno brand has redefined the premium hatchback in India. With over 1 million satisfied Baleno customers, it rules the premium hatchback segment and has consistently been among the top 5 best selling cars in the country.
For today’s young customers, the new age Baleno sets a new benchmark for cars by propelling the amalgamation of superior in-car technology, expressive design and best-in-class safety to enhance the city cruising experience. We are confident that the new age Baleno will capture the attention of the customers with its distinctive appearance, state-of-the-art technology and outstanding performance.”

CV Raman, Chief Technical Officer (Engineering), Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “Launched in 2015, Baleno has been a trendsetter with its bold design, premium interiors and convenient features. Equipped with cutting edge technology, advanced features and NEXA signature “Crafted Futurism” design language, the new age Baleno ushered in a new dawn of connectivity in the premium hatchback segment.
Working on the New Age Baleno, we have laid special focus on the use of state-of-the-art technologies that will excite the customers while ensuring a safer and more convenient drive. The new age Baleno is aligned with Maruti Suzuki’s larger mission of introducing new technologies across segments.”
Maruti Suzuki says that it has focused on developing a holistic solution that maximizes safety and convenience while enhancing the ‘technical part’ of the vehicle. Hence, expect a lot of modern features like LED headlamps, connected car technology, a good stop-start system in the new Baleno.
The 2022 all-new Baleno will be powered by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder, K-series engine with ‘dual jet’ technology. It is likely to be mated to the same five-speed manual transmission and CVT as before. However, there is a slight chance that Maruti Suzuki might opt for a six-speed torque converter unit on the Baleno instead of the CVT.
