Explore the Features of the New Age Maruti Suzuki Baleno 

In 1999, the Maruti Baleno was first launched as a sedan but it was a failure. Maruti Suzuki learned from the mistake and made a complete comeback with its 2015 launch that introduced Baleno as a premium hatchback. Since 2015 it sold 10 lakh units and finally updated its design in 2022 which is also equally relevant in 2024. 

Let’s take a look at Maruti Suzuki Baleno tech specs and features to learn its secret to success: 

1. Futurism Design Language

NEXU’s crafted Futurism design language is unique to the New Age Baleno as it is the first model to feature it. Be it the headlamps, NEXTre’ LED DRLs, NEXWave Grille, or Alloys all signature elements have a trendsetting expression. It gets an aggressive and wide look with the new NEXWave Grille and the bold chrome strip. 

The futuristic design aspect influences the technologies and the experience the car offers to its driver and passengers.

The new Head-Up Display gives you a sensorial thrill as it gently rises within the view frame and enables you to drive without taking your eyes off the road in front. You can check speed, fuel economy, turn-by-turn navigation, warning notifications, and so on at this heavily adjustable display.

It also lets you check your car's battery health. As it is compatible with your Smartwatch and Alexa Skill the connected car experience is extraordinary. 

3. Performance

While the Hydraulic Clutch system makes shift performance better the all-new suspension makes undulated roads your comfort zone. 

If you want to know about control, the bigger discs may assure you of a quicker and more stable braking experience. On the other, whenever you make your Baleno come to a halt, the Idle Start Stop (ISS) technology cuts off the engine. It automatically restarts when you clutch in MT or press the brake in AMT.
