The Japan based leading car manufacturer in India, Maruti Suzuki has unveiled details on its upcoming hatchback Maruti Baleno before its official launch which is scheduled to happen on October 26, 2015. We have seen numerous tweets from Nexa Experience twitter account regarding bookings and launch of Baleno. The earlier reports from various automotive portals revealed that Maruti Suzuki will be selling its Baleno cars exclusively at Nexa premium outlets and the car will directly take on likings of its competitors like Hyundai i20.

The all new Baleno from Maruti would be coming in two engine options – the 1.2-litre 83.1 bhp petrol (which is mated to manual and optional CVT gearbox) and the 1.3-litre 73.9 bhp diesel (mated to manual gearbox).

The fuel tank capacity of Maruti Baleno is 37-litre. The diesel Maruti Baleno car weighs around 960kgs, and the petrol manual variant weighs 890 kgs (maximum).
