The 2025 installment of the Baleno sports few but thoughtful design changes meant to augment its image as a favorite amongst urban youth.
The front fascia sports a slim grille against the previous wide grille, LED headlamps with DRL’s, and a sculpted bumper, which lend a dynamic stance to the car. With new alloy wheel designs and bright color options, the Baleno is indeed one refresher from becoming another car on the road in the luxury hatch segment.
Interior and Technology Upgrades
Inside the cabin, the Baleno for 2025 is obviously grown in quality and technology integration. Technically, a 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay now adorns the dashboard.
The digital instrument cluster receiving new graphics has become clearer and more futuristic looking. Higher trims now come with camera, heads-up display, and rear AC vents. Improved seat cushioning and premium fabric options add to the overall level of refinement in the cabin.
Powerplant with Higher Mileage and Soft Driveability
Maruti still offers the dualjet petrol engine with the Baleno, keeping the engine reliable and the fuel economy high. The engine gives quite a decent output and is all fit for juggling city traffic and some random highway dashes
It is coupled to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT transmission, thus suitable for purists as well as for those looking for ease of use. Mated with 22.9kmpl mileage, this is the most fuel-efficient vehicle on the block among its peers.
A Safer And Better-Priced Proposition
For safety, the Baleno 2025 variant packs in six airbags, ESP, hill hold assist, and ISOFIX child seat mounts on selected variants, further ensuring two-wheeler-like peace of mind for individual and family end-buyers.
The Maruti has priced this Baleno in such a way that it starts at an ex-showroom price of ₹6.80 lakh and goes all the way up to a whopping ₹9.90 lakh for the fully loaded product. The new-age, stylish Baleno retains the benchmark created by its predecessor in the premium hatchback market and continues to make a case for itself as the most balanced car when it comes to looks, features, efficiency, and safety.
