The teaser reveals that the new Baleno facelift will get HUD (heads-up display), which will be a segment-first feature. That said, we now have information on some more new features of the new Maruti suzuki baleno Which will add connectivity and security.
One of the major new technologies in the Baleno facelift will be the inclusion of a 360-degree camera. The system allows the driver to see the car from all sides, making it easier to park in tight spaces and avoid hitting obstacles at creep speeds. Currently, this feature is available on some high-end vehicles.

More importantly, the list of known features so far suggests a major advancement in Baleno’s position in the premium hatchback segment. Despite being the sales leader in this segment, the Baleno has always been ahead of the Hyundai i20 in terms of features. However, with these and more new features the Baleno facelift will be better equipped to take on the i20 directly. On the pricing front, the new Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift will be costlier, but we expect it to still cut the prices of the i20, thereby maintaining Maruti Suzuki’s high cost-per-money proposition.
