Under the hood, it should be powered by a 90PS 1.2-litre Dualjet petrol engine with idle start-stop, and is likely to be paired with a 12-volt mild-hybrid system. A 5-speed manual transmission will be standard, with a CVT option expected.

Expect the facelifted Maruti Suzuki Baleno to be priced at a premium over the current model that costs between Rs 6.14 lakh and Rs 9.66 lakh (ex-showroom). The carmaker has begun taking bookings for the hatchback at a token amount of Rs 11,000. It will rekindle its rivalry against the likes of the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz, Honda Jazz and Volkswagen Polo.
