India’s most popular premium hatchback gets a major upgrade. The 2025 Maruti Suzuki Baleno has officially launched, and it’s packed with new features, updated styling, and better performance. This facelift is designed for those who demand both style and substance from their everyday car.
Bold Exterior Redesign
The new Baleno sports a striking front profile with a wider chrome-accented grille and sleek LED headlamps. The sculpted bonnet adds a muscular feel, while the 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels give it a modern appeal. The rear has also been refreshed with new tail-lamp detailing, and Maruti now offers several dual-tone exterior paint schemes to appeal to younger buyers.
Advanced Interior and Technology
Inside, the 2025 Baleno gets a high-tech makeover. A 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system now sits at the center, offering support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also features voice assistant integration with Alexa and Google, a head-up display for driver convenience, and a 360-degree camera for added safety during parking and traffic.
Passengers in the rear now benefit from AC vents and a USB Type-C fast charging port. The cabin design feels more refined with a dual-tone dashboard and upgraded upholstery materials.
