Maruti Suzuki Baleno Pearl Midnight Black

First Nexa cars with CNG power

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was an extremely popular choice in the premium hatchback segment and with the new car, Maruti has addressed whatever was lacking.

If a car is priced under Rs 10 lakh and wears a Maruti Suzuki badge it is destined to be successful. But the Baleno is very important to Maruti for very different reasons. It is their first foray into the premium hatchback segment which is dominated by Hyundai’s classy i20. The Baleno is also the second model to be sold out of the more premium Nexa group of dealerships. After Nexa took a big hit with the unenthusiastic response for the overpriced S-Cross, the pressure is on Baleno’s small car shoulders to justify Maruti’s premium marketing tactics.
