5. Revised LED fog lights
6. 16-inch alloy wheels

Specs, Powertrains
Baleno still falls under the sub 4m length constraint to offer the attractive B Segment tax structure. Where powertrains are concerned, Maruti Suzuki has updated the Baleno facelift with the newer 1.2L Z Series engine, which we first experienced in the Swift and then in Dzire. This is a 3-cylinder engine while the older 1.2L K Series engine was a smoother 4-cylinder unit. Gearbox options continue as they are – a 5-speed MT and a 6-speed AMT.
