See The Maruti Baleno's New LED Headlights And Tail Lamps In Action

• Gets revised front and rear fascias.  

• New dashboard and interior. 

• New features include cruise control and head-up display. 

• Powered by Maruti’s 1.2-litre Dualjet petrol engine with idle start/stop. 

Maruti Suzuki has teased its upcoming facelifted Baleno again, ahead of its launch later this month. In addition to its revised front and rear fascias and interior, the premium hatchback also gets new features such as a head-up display. It'll rival the Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz, and it is expected to attract a premium over the current model that costs between Rs 6.14 lakh and Rs 9.66 lakh (ex-showroom).

Each of the new Baleno’s headlights gets three LED elements for daytime running lamps (DRLs). The indicator light seems to be a regular bulb, but the headlights themselves are expected to be LED projector units as before. We got a glimpse of the projector lights in the teaser video. 

At the rear, the facelifted Baleno gets new split tail lamps with running lights made up of three LED elements mimicking the DRLs. Despite the dim lighting in the teaser video, we do get a glimpse of the multi-reflector reversing lamps and indicators that will have regular halogen bulbs. 

In addition, the Baleno also adds a new head-up display to its equipment list. The translucent display is not available in other premium hatchbacks. It seems to be configurable, with different settings that show you the engine RPM and fuel efficiency figures in addition to the time and vehicle speed. 

Inside, the Baleno’s new interior features a redesigned dashboard and a floating infotainment screen. You also get a new steering wheel with steering-mounted controls and a cruise control system.
