Baleno’s back in a new avatar

Live Mint  

Maruti Suzuki has just launched its new Baleno premium hatchback at a rather attractive introductory price of ₹ 4.99-8.11 lakh. This price undercuts its two main rivals—the Hyundai i20 and Honda Jazz—by around ₹ 15,000-30,000, and when you see how much the Baleno packs in, you’ll realize Maruti’s track record of delivering good value continues here. The Baleno is definitely the best-looking Maruti hatchback we’ve seen in a long time, but it still looks a bit conservative when compared with its competition. The top-specification Alpha trim also gets a 7-inch touch-screen audio system with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay, which replicates your iPhone’s interface on screen; Maruti says the Android equivalent, called Android Auto, will come soon. The Baleno is Maruti’s first serious shot at the premium hatchback segment, and to underscore that fact, the car will be sold exclusively through the company’s Nexa network of upmarket showrooms.
