Maruti Suzuki has teased the connected car tech feature of the upcoming 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno. The teaser video is 15-seconds long and shows the home page of the new mobile app.
From the latest teaser, we can see that the connected car tech on the new Maruti Suzuki Baleno includes features to monitor and control various functions in the car. Apart from that, the user can control AC function, lighting, and many more.
In terms of features, the most highlighting feature of the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno is its larger 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. According to sources, this system has been jointly developed by Toyota and Maruti Suzuki.
Apart from this, the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno is also likely to feature Suzuki telematics, and come with other features such as a wireless charging pad, Day & Night rearview mirrors, auto headlamps, auto wipers, electrically adjustable rearview mirrors, and many more.
To further attract urban buyers, the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno will come with first-in-segment features such as a 360-degree surround-view camera, a heads-up display, and a few more features.
To make the facelift feel a bit more substantial to customers, the interior of the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno has been fitted with a redesigned dashboard that houses the larger infotainment unit with horizontal AC vents.
Other changes on the interior of the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno includes a new sportier-looking flat-bottom steering wheel and a redesigned instrument console.
Expect the upcoming 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno to continue using the same engine options as the outgoing version of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. This means the new 2022 Baleno is also likely to come with two engine options, both of which are naturally-aspirated petrol units.
The first engine option will be the 82bhp, 1.2-litre unit with 113Nm of peak torque, whereas the second engine option is a more advanced 89bhp, Dualjet 1.2-litre petrol engine with an identical torque output.
As before, both engines are likely to come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. However, the updated 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno might be offered with a 5-speed AMT gearbox instead of the CVT gearbox that does duty on the current model.
In terms of exterior looks, the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno hatchback now looks a lot more premium and upmarket with its sharper-looking projector LED headlights, redesigned front grille and a bit more aggressive-looking front bumper.
At the rear, the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno sports new split LED tail lamps and a redesigned bumper. Other changes on the new 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno include a set of new diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome strips that run along the lower half of the window line.
Thoughts About The New Maruti Suzuki Baleno
The main competitors of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno offer a lot of equipments and it is one of the reasons for the reduction in sales for the Baleno in Tier 1 cities. However, with the latest update, Maruti Suzuki Baleno will offer even more features than ever before and can attract more young buyers from Tier 1 cities.
