Maruti Suzuki is offering a comprehensive upgrade to its features list, and so, the new Baleno will come equipped with a new 9-inch SmartPlay Pro Plus infotainment system which also features a new sound system with ARKAMAYS tuning, as well as a segment-first 360-degree camera system. It is also expected to get connected car features along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and we expect Maruti to also offer an in-built navigation system in the new SmartPlay Pro Plus.
The new SmartPlay Pro Plus system will get a new interface and sharper graphics.
Besides, the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno is also expected to get a complete revamp of its cabin, possibly featuring an updated instrument console along with an upmarket fit and finish. Lastly, the new Baleno will also feature a segment-first Heads-Up Display (HUD) unit.

At the heart lies the same tried and tested 1.2-litre VVT motor, and a 1.2-litre Dualjet, Dual VVT engine, with no change in their power outputs. The transmission will be handled by a 5-speed manual and an automatic CVT unit for the former, coupled with a mild-hybrid system. The turbo petrol unit will most likely receive a six-speed torque converter unit, replacing the CVT gearbox from the current model.
