2022 Maruti Baleno facelift production begins

Production of the new car is said to have begun on January 24, 2022.

A picture showing the start of production of the updated 2022 Baleno has leaked online. According to the image, production of the new car began on January 24, 2022. The first car is finished in blue.

The hatchback will get some exterior as well as interior cosmetic changes. It is likely to be equipped with heads-up display, and a larger touchscreen infotainment system said to be jointly developed with Toyota. Safety features could include 6 airbags and electronic stability program (ESP).

The Baleno could be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.2-litre DualJet mild-hybrid engines. While a 5-speed manual transmission will be offered as standard, reports indicate that Maruti might discontinue the continuously variable transmission (CVT) and replace it with an AMT option.
