The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was first launched in India in 2015, marking the company’s foray into the premium hatchback segment and since then it has fended off threats like the Hyundai i20 and even the Toyota Etios Liva. The Baleno has been the winner in this segment and it was high time that the company brought out a facelift of the car. Well, Maruti Suzuki has already teased the facelift version which will be launched soon in the country and bookings for the car have already been started. Now, though, the car has been spotted at the dealership stockyard which gives us a glimpse as to what the car really looks like.
The cars that we see here are the Alpha and Delta variants. The Alpha trim gets the new alloy wheels while there are automatic LED projector headlamps and of course the LED DRLs on offer. It gets a new front bumper, while the front grille boasts of 3D graphics. The turn indicators are integrated into the ORVMs, while there’s chrome on the sides of the windows and also the door handles. There are new fog lamps on offer too.
