Maruti Suzuki Baleno Becomes More Affordable, Now Starts Under ₹6 Lakh with Mileage Up to 30.61 km/kg

Maruti Suzuki’s popular premium hatchback, the Baleno, has become even more attractive after a recent GST reduction, making it cheaper by over ₹6 lakh in certain variants. Known for its sleek design, comfort, and high fuel efficiency, the Baleno continues to dominate the premium hatchback segment. With this price cut, it now offers even better value against competitors from Tata Motors and Hyundai.

Updated Price in India
As per Maruti Suzuki’s official website, the Baleno’s starting price is ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base model, while the top variant costs ₹9.10 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing makes it one of the most affordable and feature-rich hatchbacks in the premium category.

Key Features
The Baleno is loaded with premium features such as:

• Automatic climate control

• Height-adjustable driver’s seat

• Six airbags

• Head-up display

• 360-degree camera

• Cruise control

• Multi-information display

However, not all variants come with the same set of features — the top variants naturally get the more advanced tech and comfort options.

Mileage Details
Fuel efficiency has always been a strong suit for Maruti, and the Baleno continues that legacy:

• Petrol (Manual): 22.35 km/l

• Petrol (Automatic): 22.94 km/l

• CNG: 30.61 km/kg

These figures make it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its class.

Rivals in the Segment
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno competes directly with the Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz, both strong contenders in terms of design, features, and performance. Despite the competition, the Baleno remains a customer favorite due to its affordability, reliability, and after-sales network.
