In 2025, Maruti Suzuki has revisited one of its most popular models, the Baleno hatchback, by giving the already good looking car mild design refreshes, improved safety, and better fuel efficiency. Being one of the best-selling premium hatchbacks in India, the new Baleno still fits the bill of being an attractive, reliable, and value offering car to all drivers in the city, as well as small families.
Engine and Performance
A 1.2-litre K-Series Dual Jet, Dual VVT petrol engine driving the 2025 Baleno delivers 88 bhp up to 90 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. The smooth driving experience and the refined driving experience also characterize this kind of engine whether at navigating through the city or on the highways. The buyer has options of either a 5-speed manual gearbox or AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) that is tuned towards injected handling and economy. CNG version slightly does not match in power (76 bhp) but is a good option at the prices alone.

Higher trim levels include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and wireless Android Auto and Apple carplay, automatic climate control, and rear AC vents as well as push-button start. Another aspect which Maruti has been keen on is safety where it provides six airbags as standard with all variants, ABS, EBD, ESP, 4-star BNCAP crash test rating.
