The hatchback will also get a larger touchscreen infotainment system with software is said to have been jointly developed with Toyota. It will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The Baleno could be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.2-litre DualJet mild-hybrid engines. While a 5-speed manual transmission will be offered as standard, reports indicate that Maruti might discontinue the continuously variable transmission (CVT) and replace it with an AMT option.
