About The 2026 Maruti Baleno Facelift
This facelift brings minor styling tweaks, a few new features and a brand-new engine underneath. Design-wise, there is a larger chrome grille up front with horizontal slats, while the bumper gets a sharper look too. Besides this, there is a chrome fender insert and a sharkfin antenna as the only other changes to its looks. A new Enigmatic Teal shade has been added to its colour palette, which you can check out in detail here.
Inside the hatchback retains its black and blue cabin theme and a swooping dashboard design with silver inserts. This update brings in some new equipment such as ventilated front seats, Clarion sound system and a wireless phone charger to improve convenience. Other equipment that is carried over from the outgoing car includes a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, auto headlamps, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a head-up display.
Safety is boosted with the addition of a Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), alongside existing features like 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, hill hold assist (HHA) and ISOFIX child seat anchors.

Rivals
The Maruti Baleno rivals premium hatchbacks like the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza. It also competes with other cars in the same price range like the Tata Punch, Maruti Swift and Maruti Fronx.
CarDekho Says…
In typical Maruti fashion, the Baleno facelift has had a slight price increase that one can only call reasonable given the additions on offer. As we have noted previously in our variants explainer, the features have also been well-spread across all the trims, and the hatchback continues to offer a great value-for-money proposition and a rounded package that has made it such a blockbuster success.
