The front gets aV-shaped grille, a pair of swept-back headlamps, and a horizontal air dam on the bumper that is surrounded on either side by circular fog lights.

At the rear, the Baleno gets a prominent chrome bar running just below the windshield. Taillights have been pushed to the extreme corners of the chrome bar and get some LED lighting elements, while the massive bumper area houses the number plate.

The steering wheel is similar to what is seen on the Ciaz. It gets a leather wrap in the top-end Alpha trims.It comes with tilt as well as telescopic adjustment in the Zeta and Alpha variants.
The steering houses integrated control buttons for the audio system and telephonic functions. Also notice the slim chrome detailing at the end of the spoke.
The top profile is a clear indicator of how steep the front and rear windshields of the Baleno are. It is also worth noting that the Baleno doesn't get a ribbed roof, something that a lot other modern-day hatchbacks get for added rigidity.
The circular fog lamps located on either side of the front bumper get standard halogen bulbs.

The top-end Alpha trim comes with bi-xenon projector headlamps and LED daytime running lights. Lower variants get conventional halogen setup.
The instrument cluster includes a twin-pod design with a coloured MID screen in the center. The cluster gets white fonts and blue backlighting.The MID screen on the top-end Alpha trim reads out the clock, outside temperature, two trip meters, reverse parking sensor display, average fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed and various control settings. It also gets graphics to show the power and torque usage at any given point of time. Delta and Zeta trims come with a basic monochromatic MID screen.
The Baleno offers a large enough boot space of 339 litres,which is second to just the Honda Jazz (354 litres). Moreover, the rear bench can fold down in a 60:40 ratio, which enhances cargo-carrying flexibility.
ORVMs are mounted on the door panels and get a dual-tone design, with the upper section finished in the car's body colour and the lower area in black plastic.
The Baleno is offered with keyless entry. The black button seen here is a request sensor which can be pressed to enter the car, without the need to take the key out from your pocket/purse.
The tail-pipe has been neatly concealed under the rear bumper. A ground clearance of 170 mm helps the Baleno tackle bumps with ease.
The petrol engine offers an option of a CVT automatic gearbox, which is available in the Delta, Zeta and Alpha trims. A 5-speed manual is standard on all variants.
The automatic climate control system gets a circular display with easy-to-read white fonts and a brushed silver wing-like design that houses the control buttons.
The Maruti Baleno comes with UV-cut glass, which is claimed to stop up to 85 per cent of harmful UV rays from entering the car's cabin.
The Baleno is one of the first Maruti cars to come with dual airbags and ABS as standard on all variants. This enhances the car's safety profile.
The Baleno is offered with two engine options - a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.3-litre diesel. Seen here is the petrol engine that develops84.3PS and 115Nm.
While the boot is sufficiently sized, the loading lip is a bit too high. This can cause slight inconvenience while lifting heavy luggage.
The grille gets a nicely detailed pattern and houses the Suzuki logo in the center. The chrome lining on the lower edge is available in all variants except Sigma.
The outside rear view mirrors are sufficiently sized and can be controlled internally. The Delta, Zeta and Alpha trims even get electrically foldable ORVMs.
Thanks to a long wheelbase (2520 mm), the Baleno gets ample legroom, even for rear passengers. Two six-footers can comfortably sit in the car, one behind the other. Interior space is one of the biggest plus points of the Baleno.
The all-black cabin gets some subtle silver detailing to break the monotony. This includes silver accents around the dashboard, door pads and even seats. Also visible here is the front center armrest, available in the top-end trim.
The Baleno doesn't get 'Maruti Suzuki' or variant badges anywhere around the car. The tailgate only mentions the model name and the Suzuki logo.
A roof-mounted spoiler adds dynamism to the car's character. The high mounted stop lamp (HMSL) is neatly integrated with the spoiler.
The internal rear view mirror (IRVM) comes with auto dimming feature on the higher variants, while the lower trims get a manual control flap.
The center console includes an infotainment system, centre AC vents, automatic climate control and hazard warning lights switch.
Both sun visors (driver and front passenger) get a vanity mirror with illumination as well as a ticket holder.
The top-end Alpha trim of the Baleno comes with a 7-inch Smartplay touchscreen infotainment system. It gets Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink and rear camera support.
