Launched in October 2015, Maruti Baleno has held its root strong in the Indian market with an average of 10,000 units a month. In the process, the car has achieved many milestones like crossing one lakh sales mark in less than a year to a bestselling car in the segment.

Besides domestic market, Maruti has also exported more than 33,000 units of the Baleno and it is exported to more than 100 countries.

Baleno achieved huge success thanks to decent design, premium features, roomy cabin and good ride and handling abilities. It also features dual front airbags and ABS as standard across the range along with rich features such as auto climate control, Apple carplay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink connectivity.

The brand has recently launched the performance version of the hatchback named Baleno RS at a sticker price of Rs. 8.69 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
