Maruti Suzuki announced price hikes for its cars last month. The carmaker has revealed the updated prices across models sold through Arena and Nexa outlets.
Among other hikes, the brand has increased the price of its popular premium hatchback, Balenoby up to INR 9,000 depending on the variant.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is sold in four trim levels, including Sigma, Delta, Zeta, and Alpha. These trim levels form different variants in combination with the transmission options and powertrain, which is either petrol or CNG powered.
All the variants get a 1.2-litre petrol engine which is tuned to produce 88 hp of power and 113 Nm of peak torque. It comes paired with either a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed AMT.
With a fuel tank capacity of 37 liters, the car claims a mileage of 22.35 kmpl with the MT, while the AMT returns a mileage of 22.94 kmpl.
Meanwhile, the CNG-powered version of the car offers a mileage of 30.61 km/kg. It is to be noted that the CNG variants only have the option of a 5-speed MT.
The Delta AGS, Zeta AGS, and Alpha AGS variants of the vehicle have now become costlier by up to INR 9,000. Meanwhile, the other variants have now become more expensive by INR 4,000.
With these changes in place, Maruti Suzuki Baleno now starts at INR 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the most expensive variant is priced at INR 9.92 lakh (ex-showroom).
The car competes against rivals like Tata Altroz, Hyundai i29, and others in the Indian market.
