The diesel-powered variants of the Baleno have received a price hike in the range of Rs 12.000 to Rs 19,500. The Baleno RS, on the other hand, gets a hike of almost Rs 13,000. The premium hatchback was given a BSVI-compliant version of the 1.2-litre K12B petrol engine earlier this week. Along with it, the company also added another BSVI-compliant engine - a 1.2-litre DualJet Smart Hybrid petrol - to the Baleno’s engine lineup. However, the new engine is only available with the lower Delta and Zeta variants of the hatchback. What’s more, it’s only offered with a manual gearbox for now.
