But the Indian Baleno left the European and Japanese markets two years ago, so the preference of Indian buyers was a priority in the work on the restyled model.<\/p>\n<p>Baleno has kept the overall length of 3990 mm because there are significant advantages for vehicles up to four meters in India. But almost all body panels (except the roof) are new. The stamping of doors and fenders has been changed, additional window openings on the rear pillars have been redone, the hood cover has been shortened and now it does not reach the radiator grille. All lighting equipment is new, the rear lights have additional sections on the fifth door.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a594487.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a594487.webp\" alt=\"Suzuki Baleno hatchback: large-scale restyling instead of a new generation\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The interior is completely new, including door panels and seats. The front panel has become more solid, the media system can have a screen with a diagonal of seven or nine inches, which now rises above the front panel. The most advanced multimedia Smartplay Pro+ has a new interface, there is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the ability to remotely connect from a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Improved interior soundproofing claimed. And the equipment has also been greatly improved. For example, the Indian Baleno already &#8220;in the base&#8221; has climate control and a keyless entry system, although there are still only two airbags. A set of six airbags is based on expensive versions. In the top version, a projection display, panoramic cameras and the Arkamys audio system appeared, but the hatch was excluded from the list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a6f187e.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a6f187e.webp\" alt=\"Suzuki Baleno hatchback: large-scale restyling instead of a new generation\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the update, Baleno was left without a choice of engines. All cars have the same naturally aspirated 1.2 four-cylinder engine with 90 hp and 113 Nm of torque. The five-speed &#8220;mechanics&#8221; is also preserved, although there is a new reinforced clutch. And instead of the variator now. a simple &#8220;robot&#8221; AMT with a clutch &#8211; this box suits Indian buyers.<\/p>\n<p>However, such a transmission is unlikely to appear on export cars: so far, the Baleno for Latin America and Australia has been equipped with a 1.4 engine (92 hp, 130 Nm) and a four-speed automatic transmission, and this group is likely to continue. Finally, the update brought a retuned suspension and more powerful brakes (the Baleno still has drum mechanisms in the back).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a88cab9.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-217955-625047a88cab9.webp\" alt=\"Suzuki Baleno hatchback: large-scale restyling instead of a new generation\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In India, the updated Maruti Suzuki Baleno has already appeared on sale at a price of 8,500 to 12,700 dollars. Hatchbacks are also available on a subscription basis for $188 per month. Here Baleno competes with Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz, Volkswagen Polo and Tata Altroz \u200b\u200bcars. Baleno also has varieties under the Toyota brand: the Glanza (for India) and Starlet (for Africa) models &#8211; they will also be restyled soon.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of developing truly new models, Suzuki has set a course for further modernization of existing machines.
