Maruti Suzuki India launches 'IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. IT’S STRONG HYBRID.' campaign, showcasing Grand Vitara and Invicto. Focused on Strong Hybrid technology, it highlights eco-friendliness, fuel efficiency, and regenerative braking. The TVC emphasizes Maruti Suzuki's commitment to sustainability and efficient driving.

Maruti Suzuki offer the current version of the Baleno hatchback in 4 variants, namely Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. Sigma is the base variant while Alpha is the top-spec trim. However, we know that the new Baleno will get several new features, such as HUD, 6 airbags, ESP and connected car technology, over the current Baleno.

When Maruti launch the 2022 Baleno later this month, we expect them to replace the hatchback’s CVT automatic transmission with a 5-speed AMT. This will help Maruti lower the cost of automatic variants of the new Baleno, as CVTs are comparatively an expensive technology than AMT. However, they will be the first carmaker in India to give their premium hatchback an AMT auto transmission.

Maruti Suzuki have released another teaser for the upcoming Baleno facelift. This time, it reveals a new touchscreen infotainment system. The touchscreen seen on the teaser video is a 9-inch free-standing unit placed at the top of the dashboard. The new Baleno will also feature Arkamys surround sound system in the top-spec variants.

In addition to that, the image also reveals tri-square LED elements, which may also double up as brake lights.

Maruti Suzuki will offer a 5-speed AMT gearbox with the 2022 Baleno. The earlier CVT transmission may not continue with the 2022 model. This move will help the Japanese carmaker to reduce the gap between the manual and automatic variants of the 2022 Baleno.
