Maruti Suzuki is due to launch the new version of the Baleno in the Indian market later this year or next year. The last happened in 2019 and since then, Hyundai has launched the all-new i20 in the segment.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno gets powered by two petrol engine options. Both of them are 1.2-litre engines but one is more powerful than the other. The 1.2-litre four-cylinder VTVT petrol engine produces a maximum power of 82 Bhp and 113 Nm. The more powerful DualJet version generates a maximum power of 90 PS but the torque output remains the same.

It now gets a revised front bumper with a bigger lower grille. The design on the front grille is also different from the BS4 model.
