Maruti Baleno Facelift Spied
In keeping with the update trends followed by Maruti Suzuki and if Brezza facelift is anything to go by, Baleno facelift is expected to be a minor cosmetic update. A nip and tuck job is expected with the fascia where maruti might offer slightly revised headlights and grille along with front bumpers and fog lights.
Silhouette will be completely carried over and Baleno facelift is expected to retain the same attributes as current model. We’re talking about conventional door handles, request sensors on both front doors, UV cut windows with a slight green tint and chrome highlights are expected. There might be new alloy wheels with the new Baleno facelift.
At the rear, things are expected to be vastly similar to current model. Tail lights, and tailgate are expected to be carried over, but there might be new bumpers at the rear. Similar trend was observed with Brezza facelift as well. The unit spied was fully camouflaged and Maruti Suzuki could offer new set of colours with the new Baleno.
Interior Changes?
On the inside, Maruti Baleno facelift might be offered with the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, up from the current 9-inch unit. This screen first debuted with the Victoris and it supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly. The new climate control panel might make its way to the Baleno facelift too.
Other features like wireless charging pad, rear AC vents, front and rear armrest, auto-dimming IRVM, cruise control, LED lighting and the MID screen are expected to be on the table. We wish Maruti Suzuki also offer ventilated seats with Baleno facelift along with the blindspot alerts in ORVMs that we saw with Brezza facelift.
Under the bonnet, Baleno facelift could bring the newer Z-Series 1.2L 3-cylinder NA Petrol engine, replacing the creamy smooth K-Series 1.2L 4-cylinder NA Petrol engine. This engine first debuted in the Swift and made its way to Dzire as well. Possibilities of a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine are meek.
