Maruti Suzuki Brezza : In India’s fiercely competitive hatchback segment, not many names have nailed the style, comfort and “value for money” aspect the way Maruti Suzuki Baleno has. From the time of its launch, Baleno has appealed to diverse range of customers and has been a preferred choice for young professional and small families and individuals in urban areas looking for a stylish and urban vehicle. It strikes the sweet spot of providing a spacious cabin, efficient powertrain combination, and the strong support of Maruti Suzuki’s extensive service network. Each time around, Maruti has made sure that the Baleno isn’t left behind, and actually tends to lead the way in its segment – with some level of refresh.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza A Design of One’s Own Without Overlooking Comfort
The new Baleno car, which epitomizes Suzuki’s expertise in compact car production, stands one step ahead of its predecessor in all respects. The broad front grille is flanked by slim LED headlamps and lends the hatchback a more assertive character. The sideprofile is still clean and sleek, although its sharp edges have been replaced by soft curves which gives a mature appearance. To the rear, the new wraparound LED tail lamps and sculpted bumper cuffs off the back of the car in style. It’s still unmistakably Baleno, however, the new model can be best described as being more sophisticated and elegant, while still looking friendly and down-to-earth. It’s not showy, but it’s capable of wooing buyers away from more aggressively styled competitors while giving off a timeless design that has broad appeal.
Ample Cabin with a Touch of Practical Luxury
ON THE INSIDE The Baleno gets an interior with a generous amount of space and is easy-to-use and comfortable. The layout of the new dashboard has been layered for a mix of style and convenience. There are good use of materials used on touchpoints and the dual tone-enhances the look further. Seating has good padding, support and felt comfortable both in town and on the highway. Rear passengers can enjoy plenty of leg- and headroom, the product of the car’s smart stature. The flat floor at the rear provides greater comfort for three people. The 318-litre boot is not the biggest in its segment, but has the right shape and is convenient for carrying daily luggage and occasional luggage, making the Baleno an excellent family vehicle.
Intelligent Functions That Take the Stress out of Driving
The tech inside the Baleno has been very tactfully put to help make life easier without getting on your nerves. In the center of the dashboard is a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system interface is easy to use as well as effective as the everyday driver, and the sound system (Arkamys tuned) is surprisingly full. The driver also has a colored TFT multi-information display next to the speedometer that provides useful real-time data but doesn’t distract. Other comforts such as automatic climate control, push-button start, rear AC vents and steering-mounted controls provide a level of convenience that drivers will appreciate in no time. The ergonomics of the interior are good, with a clear view forward from the driver seat which is particularly useful in close-quarters urban situations.

Powering the Baleno, at its core, is Maruti’s proven 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine which is tuned to provide a good mix of performance and fuel efficiency needed for daily commutes on Indian roads. It makes 90 PS of power and is peppy enough, be it for darting in and out of city traffic or cruising at highway speeds. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or AMT type automatic transmission system to suit varying driving styles. The manual, in particular, feels snappy and light, and the AMT – though far from sporty – has been tuned for comfort and niceness of gearshifts. What continues to keep the Baleno floating is its fuel efficiency, which hovers around 18-20 km/l, depending upon traffic and user usage. Such efficiency and little maintenance requirement will bring you the most durable, and budget-friendly cooling.
Enhanced Head and Ride for the Real World
Maruti has also retuned the ride quality of the Baleno in this generation. It is tuned for comfort, and indeed, it smoothes out road imperfections with remarkable poise. Bumps and potholes are dismissed with little bother and the car feels fairly settled even at higher speeds. The handling is light and the car is responsive, which is perfect for cutting through traffic-heavy city streets, yet, at the same time, it doesn’t feel out of place on a long stretch of asphalt. Noise isolation has also been improved and the cabin is significantly quieter than in the past. It is, after all, not one of the more ‘dynamic’ cars to drive in its category, – with the Baleno, one gets a mature, well-judged (read: sane, if not zany) and quite balanced kind of a car that has its heart set on making the driver comfortable and his brood steady rather than as an aggressive handler.
Safety Gets a More Prominent Place in the New Baleno
Maruti Suzuki have indeed accepted the changing safety dynamics of the Indian buyers, and have given the new Baleno a more sculpted and aggressive look. Now it gets six airbags n the higher variants along with electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, hill-hold assist and ISOFIX mounts for child seats. Build quality is improved with a stiffer construction for better crash protection. The addition of a 360-degree camera in higher trims comes in handy during tight parking and urban traffic conditions. Although the crash test results for the latest safety norms have yet to be revealed, the visible efforts from Maruti in beefing up safety and the structure make us believe the Baleno is headed the right way. These enhancements also play well with the change in the psychology of the buyer, where safety is not an option it’s a must.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza A Hatchback That Knows Who Its Friends Are
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno remains successful not by stretching itself across too many features but by knowing exactly what its customers really want. It’s a stylish looking car to start with and is also simple to use and quite spacious on the inside, while performance from the BS6 petrol engine is smooth and efficient too and after sales support from Maruti makes it a worry free ownership. The driving experience is engineered for comfort rather than thrills, and the features are chosen for utility rather than novelty. The Baleno is still quite an offer for a stage of Indian car-buying population, who are forever struggling to find the right balance of being an urban jalopy while offering a dash of premium touch. It doesn’t follow trends — it remains timely by being forthright, efficient and well done.
