Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the Maruti Baleno 2025, and it’s grabbing attention — not just for its updates, but because it can now be owned at an EMI starting from just ₹11,000 per month. That’s about the same as a premium bike loan, making the Baleno one of the most accessible premium hatchbacks in the market today.
Fresh Design With a Familiar Feel
The Maruti Baleno 2025 sticks to its sleek and smart silhouette, but Maruti has made a few subtle changes. The front grille now looks sharper, and the LED DRLs have a more modern signature. There are also new alloy wheel designs and a refreshed rear bumper, making the car look updated without changing its overall identity.
In short, it still looks like a Baleno — just a bit more polished.
Feature-Loaded Cabin
Inside, the Maruti Baleno 2025 continues to offer a premium feel for its price. You get a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The instrument cluster gets a part-digital upgrade, and the steering wheel feels sportier with mounted controls.
Other highlights include auto climate control, rear AC vents, cruise control, and keyless entry with push-button start. Even the seat cushioning has been improved slightly, making long drives more comfortable.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Maruti Baleno 2025 continues with its 1.2-litre K-Series DualJet petrol engine. It produces 90 PS of power and 113 Nm of torque, which is more than enough for daily city commutes and occasional highway drives. You can choose between a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT.
While it’s not meant for spirited driving, it feels smooth, predictable, and easy to handle — especially for new or comfort-focused drivers.
Mileage That Makes Sense
One of the biggest draws remains its fuel efficiency. Maruti claims a mileage of 22.35 km/l for the manual and 22.94 km/l for the AMT version. In real-world terms, that means fewer trips to the fuel station — a big plus for anyone with a regular commute.
Starting at an EMI of ₹11,000
Maruti is offering attractive finance options, and thanks to low interest rates and flexible tenure, the EMI for the Maruti Baleno 2025 now starts at ₹11,000/month (on-road price and down payment may vary slightly). That brings this premium hatch within reach of many first-time buyers who were previously considering only bikes or entry-level cars.
Final Thoughts
The Maruti Baleno 2025 is not a radically different car — and that’s a good thing. Maruti has kept everything that worked, added a few meaningful upgrades, and made it more accessible with a bike-like EMI plan. With its strong resale value, wide service network, and high fuel efficiency, the Baleno remains one of the smartest choices in the hatchback segment.
If you’re planning to buy a car that feels premium without stretching your budget, this could be the perfect time to consider the new Baleno.
