As we can see in the pictures, the changes on the Baleno facelift are literally just that. There’s a new grille with 3D detailing, sportier looking bumper design with new fog lamp housings, and new 16-inch precision cut alloy wheels. There seems to be no changes on the side and rear profile. Overall, the front fascia looks a lot more contemporary than the outgoing model.

The top-end Alpha gets automatic LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs and follow-me-home/lead-to-vehicle functionality as well. Variant wise features in detail here.

Black & Blue interior theme. SmartPlay Studio developed by Harman.

On the inside, the 7-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system which made its debut in the new Wagon R, replaces the previous SmartPlay system in the new Baleno.

Safety equipment includes reverse parking sensors, speed alert system, driver & co-driver seat belt reminder, and NEXA Safety Shield as standard across all variants.

No changes under the hood. The 83 bhp 1.2-litre (1,197 cc) petrol and the Fiat-sourced 74 bhp 1.3-litre (1,248 cc) DDiS diesel engines continue to power the Baleno. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard while a choice of CVT is offered for the petrol variants.

The Baleno facelift is available in 6 color options – Nexa Blue, Premium Silver, Autumn Orange, Pearl Arctic White, Magma Grey and Phoenix Red – the last two shades are new additions to the palette.

The Baleno RS has received a “facelift” too, with a lot more sporty looking front bumper. No changes under the hood here as well, the 998 cc 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine offers the same 101 bhp and 150 Nm of torque, paired to a 5-speed manual transmission.
