As Maruti Suzuki gears up to launch the new Baleno next week on 23 February, the exterior colour options of the updated hatchback have leaked. The 2022 Baleno will be offered in six different colours across 11 variants.

As seen in the images, the new Baleno will be available in Splendid Silver, Nexa Blue, Pearl Arctic White, Grandeur Grey, Opulent Red, and Luxe Beige exterior shade. While the majority of the colour schemes remain unchanged with just renamed palettes, the Luxe Beige is the newest addition.

Besides this, the new Baleno will broadly be offered in Sigma, Delta, Zeta, Zeta (O), Alpha, and Alpha (O) trims. The feature highlights will include a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system, new LED projector headlamps, redesigned 16-inch alloy wheels, a head-up display, a flat-bottom steering wheel with mounted controls, multiple airbags, and a 360-degree camera.

The transmission options will include a five-speed manual gearbox and an AMT unit. Even in the new avatar, the Baleno will continue its rivalry with the Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20, Volkswagen Polo, and Honda Jazz.
