It is no secret that Maruti Suzuki is developing a new premium hatchback which has been codenamed YRS. Recently Suzuki announced that the new premium hatchback will be christened Baleno in the international market and the car will be officially unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Pictures of the pre-production prototype undergoing testing have surfaced on internet. 

The new Maruti Baleno will be a premium Hatchback positioned above the Swift, and just like the Maruti S-Cross will be marketed through Maruti's upmarket Nexa showrooms across India. The task on hand of the new Maruti Baleno is cut-out as it will rival the likes of the Hyundai Elite i20, Honda Jazz and the Volkswagen Polo. Talking about styling, the Maruti Baleno hatchback will have a Y-shaped grill and sweptback headlamps reminiscent of the Swift. The swooping roofline and the raked C-pillar give it a European look and feel. It is likely that Maruti Suzuki will load the new Baleno hatchback to the brim with features.
