Latest Updates

Maruti Suzuki discontinued the Baleno in December 2006 to make way for the more modern SX4. The decision was made despite the Balenos improved sales after significant price cuts, as it was not competing well with market leaders like the Honda City. I think this move was necessary to keep Maruti competitive in the evolving market.

In October 2005, Maruti refreshed the Baleno again, adding features like automatic climate control, a new music system, and bigger 185/65 R14 wheels with 11-spoke alloys, all available in the top-end VXi variant. This update also included new body colors and clear rear indicator lenses. I believe these updates helped keep the Baleno relevant for a bit longer.

In January 2004, Maruti introduced the cut-price LXi trim of the Baleno at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 5.6 lakh, following a reduction in customs duty. This move reduced the prices of the Baleno VXi and Altura variants by Rs. 25,000. I think this was a smart move to make the car more affordable.

The Baleno underwent a minor facelift in early 2003, which included a three-slat radiator grille, a tilt-adjustable three-spoke steering wheel, and other interior changes like a refreshed center console. These updates were aimed at enhancing the cars appeal. I think the facelift did help in giving the Baleno a fresh look.

Initially launched as a premium segment car with a price tag close to Rs. 7 lakh, the Baleno failed to attract significant demand. However, after drastic price cuts to around Rs. 5.6 lakh, the car started selling in decent numbers. I believe the pricing strategy was a key factor in its eventual success.

The original Suzuki Baleno was the first product from Maruti to be assembled rather than manufactured in India. By the time it was discontinued, Maruti had sold around 5,300 units of the Baleno in the country. I think it was an important step for Maruti in terms of local assembly.
Friday, 01 October 1999 09:32 AM
The Baleno was introduced in India in 1999 and was known for its refinement, fuel efficiency, and driveability, making it well-suited for Indian driving conditions. Despite its strengths, it never gained the popularity of other models in its segment. I think it was underrated and had a lot to offer.
