Maruti Suzuki Launches Stunning New Baleno with Level 2 ADAS and Ventilated Seats
Maruti Suzuki launches the Stunning New Baleno, featuring segment-first Level 2 ADAS and ventilated front seats. It boasts a new design, Advanced Z12E powertrain with improved fuel efficiency (up to 24.77 km/l for AGS), and a starting ex-showroom price of ₹6,09,900. Bookings are open at ₹11,000.
The introduction of a new variant of a popular model with significant feature upgrades and competitive pricing is likely to positively impact sales and market share, but it is an update to an existing model, not a completely new segment entry or a major financial announcement.
The launch of a new model with advanced features and improved efficiency is a positive development for the company.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has launched the Stunning New Baleno, targeting young, ambitious urban achievers. The premium hatchback features a redesigned NEXWave grille, a new premium and progressive design language, and is powered by the Advanced Z12E powertrain available with 5-speed manual and AGS automatic transmission options.
The Stunning New Baleno introduces several segment-first features, including Level 2 ADAS with eight advanced safety and assistance functions such as Advanced Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. It also comes with segment-first ventilated front seats with plush leatherette upholstery for enhanced comfort. Other premium interior features include a Premium Sound System by Clarion, a Qi-certified wireless smartphone charger, a 22.86 cm (9”) SmartPlay Pro+ Infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the Suzuki Connect telematics system.
The Z12E powertrain offers improved fuel efficiency, with the manual transmission achieving 23.80 km/l and the AGS achieving 24.77 km/l. The Baleno S-CNG variant delivers a fuel efficiency of 33.61 km/kg. Bookings for the Stunning New Baleno are now open at ₹11,000, with prices starting at ₹6,09,900 (ex-showroom).
Mr. Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, stated, “The Baleno has been a definitive pillar for NEXA and the premium hatchback segment over the course of a decade. The Stunning New Baleno is now here to redefine customer expectations with the introduction of segment-first features including Level 2 ADAS, and an unmistakable new identity established with a modern rendition of the signature NEXWave grille.”
