Maruti Baleno Features

New to the second-generation Baleno is a body panel featuring a chrome appliqué that goes along with the grille and is noticeably wider.

The revised Baleno has a sportier flat-bottom steering wheel and simple-to-read gauges inside. The new 9.0 inch touchscreen is conveniently placed against the solid top of the binnacle.
