The petrol-manual range starts at Rs. 5.99 lakhs and extends to Rs. 9.50 lakhs for the Alpha (O). Petrol AMT variants are available from Rs. 7.50 lakhs to Rs. 9.99 lakhs. The CNG option is offered on the Delta and Zeta trims, priced at Rs. 7.92 lakhs and Rs. 8.92 lakhs, respectively.
The AMT commands a Rs. 50,000 premium over the equivalent petrol-manual variant. Meanwhile, the CNG versions cost Rs. 92,000 more than their corresponding petrol-manual variants.
The top-spec Alpha (O) is available with both manual and AMT transmissions but there is no CNG version of this trim.
New three-cylinder petrol engine replaces the four-cylinder unit
A significant change with the facelift is the replacement of the previous 1.2-litre K12N four-cylinder petrol engine. The Baleno now uses Maruti Suzuki’s 1.2-litre Z12E three-cylinder petrol engine, which is also used in the Swift and Dzire.
The naturally aspirated engine produces 83 HP and 112 Nm and can be paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. Compared with the outgoing engine, peak output is down by 7 HP, while torque has reduced by 1 Nm.
Maruti has, however, focused on improving efficiency with the new engine. The manual version has a claimed fuel economy of 23.80 km/l, while the AMT is rated at 24.77 km/l. These figures represent claimed improvements of 1.45 km/l and 1.83 km/l, respectively, over the corresponding versions of the outgoing model.
CNG Baleno gets higher claimed efficiency
The Z12E engine is also available in a factory-fitted CNG configuration. In this application, it develops 70 HP and 102 Nm and is paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The CNG-powered Baleno has a claimed efficiency of 33.61 km/kg, which is around 3 km/kg higher than the figure quoted for the previous CNG model.
As with other claimed efficiency figures, actual fuel consumption will depend on factors such as traffic, driving style, road conditions and vehicle load.
Baleno continues to face competition from Altroz, i20 and Glanza
The updated Baleno continues to compete in India’s premium hatchback segment against models such as the Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20 and Toyota Glanza.
The Altroz is priced between Rs. 6 lakhs and Rs. 10.75 lakhs, while the standard Hyundai i20 ranges from Rs. 6 lakhs to Rs. 10.39 lakhs. The i20 N Line sits higher in the price band, at Rs. 9.27 lakhs to Rs. 11.59 lakhs. The Toyota Glanza is priced from Rs. 6.73 lakhs to Rs. 9.99 lakhs.
With its revised powertrain lineup, lower entry price and multiple transmission options, the facelifted Baleno continues to target buyers looking for a relatively efficient petrol hatchback, while the three-cylinder engine represents a trade-off between outright output and claimed fuel economy.
