Maruti Suzuki has a handful of new products for the Indian market. The Indo-Japanese automaker will also give generation change and mid-life updates to its existing models including the Celerio, Alto and Baleno hatchbacks and Vitara Brezza subcompact SUV. Recently, the new 2022 Maruti Baleno facelift was caught testing for the first time in the country. While there is no official word on its launch timeline, a latest report suggests it will hit roads by February 2022.
The new 2022 Maruti Baleno facelift will receive a few noticeable changes inside and out, while the engine setup is likely to remain unchanged. Most of the cosmetic changes will be made at the front and rear ends. The spy images reveal that the hatchback will feature newly-designed taillamps that appear more squarish than the circular units offered on the existing model. The front fascia is likely to be revised with the new grille, sportier bumper and tweaked headlamps. The updated model could also be offered with the new alloy wheels.
Interior details of the new Maruti Baleno 2022 facelift are still under the wraps. Though, it’s likely to come with a newly-designed dashboard and steering wheel. There might be a larger touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Most of features such as leather wrapped steering wheel, puddle lamps, voice commands, UV cut glass, rear parking camera, auto dimming interior mirror, height adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control and keyless entry will be carried over from the existing model.
