re: 2022 Maruti-Suzuki Baleno, now launched at Rs. 6.35 lakh

Feels like Ex-BMW employee has entered in their design team, the grill is growing wider like recent ugly BMWs.

I'm expecting that the new Baleno will have the next genHEARTECTplatform, but Maruti being Maruti, they only focus on design and features.

I have seen the vehicle upfront and the grille, although wider, is not that wide as is visible in distorted spy shot. The vehicle overall has a design theme of appearing wider than it actually is to give a sense of space. Hence the wider, flatter exterior elements in my opinion.

The vehicle still has original heartect platform with some upgrades for resolving past issues as I have heard.

IMHO the new shape looks better than the outgoing one but a lot like the Hyundai I20 especially the stance of the car.

No prizes for guessing that this will also do extremely well irrespective of whether safety standards have been improved or not!!

Looks much better than the outgoing model,for me the front looks inspired from seltos and the back from wrv. It will no matter what. Wish safety got an upgrade too.

The front looks like a Ciaz/Altroz hybrid. IMHO, instead of cosmetic updates, wish Maruti had worked on a genuine safety rating for the Baleno!

re: 2022 Maruti-Suzuki Baleno, now launched at Rs. 6.35 lakh

To be frank, I expected more.

Baleno is a Nexa product, which they call premium. Current generation does not really do justice to it. I mean, Baleno was good when it was launched. But the competition - i20, Altroz and CSUVs - is ahead in terms of design and interiors. I feel they spent more effort to create XL6 from Ertiga than developing this facelift.

Maruti knows that their products sell, no matter what.

There is another image of the dashboard where it is having a floating screen and the AC vents are placed below it. The AC buttons too are different and looked better compared to the current version.

Looks like they have improved the perceived quality of the interiors to match with the competition.

I wonder what the next Glanza will look like

This is a pretty good opportunity for Toyota to bring changes and differentiate from Baleno

re: 2022 Maruti-Suzuki Baleno, now launched at Rs. 6.35 lakh

New Maruti Suzuki Baleno, coming with more tech. and features:

- The dashboard design from images of test mules have suggested a unit similar to that of the new Suzuki S-cross revealed in international markets, which means we too could get a 9.0-inch unit.

- expected to come with an embedded SIM and offer a suite of connected car tech.

-New infotainment aside, the Baleno could pack in feel-good kit such as auto LED headlamps, key-less go, auto climate control, cruise control and more.

Scoop! 2022 Maruti Baleno facelift spotted during ad shoot

Last month, we got our first glimpse of the Baleno facelift. We can now share more images of the updated Baleno that were captured during an ad shoot.

The 2022 Baleno has been given a thorough makeover. It features a slimmer grille, redesigned headlamps and an updated front bumper. At the rear, the car gets reworked tail lamp units and tailgate.

The car seen in these images appears to be finished in the Nexa Blue shade. It has chrome door handles and is equipped with dual-tone alloy wheels as well.

The 2022 Baleno is also expected to get a few changes on the interior. The car could get an upgraded touchscreen infotainment system among other minor changes.

The Baleno could be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.2-litre DualJet mild-hybrid engines. The latter produces 89 BHP and 113 Nm currently and comes mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. A CVT is available on the non-hybrid version.

The Baleno facelift is expected to be launched prior to the updated Vitara Brezza.

Thanks to Neil Dave and Ravi Pancholi for sending these images in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing them with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP share page!

The alloy size has been increased. 16 inch alloys for sure by the looks of it.

The present Baleno also rides on 16 inch alloys and 195/55R16 tyres. Or is there something else I’m missing.

Agreed, they do look bigger. Doesn't the current Baleno come with 16" on the top variants? Maybe I'm mistaken. Even the car looks larger for some reason.

My bad. I didn't know. My friend got a Zeta with 15 inch alloys. Didn't strike to me that Alpha had 16 inches.
