Overview
- Maruti Suzuki is reported to unveil the first facelift of the second‑generation Baleno on September 5–6, 2026, according to multiple previews.
- The update is described as conservative and will keep the Baleno’s overall silhouette while revising the grille, bumpers and alloy‑wheel designs.
- Inside changes are said to be trim and material updates plus new convenience items such as a single‑pane sunroof, ambient lighting, wireless charging and ventilated front seats.
- Coverage diverges on powertrains: Autocar and other previews expect the current 1.2‑litre K‑series petrol with a factory CNG option to remain, while ZigWheels and CarWale report the Swift’s Z‑series 1.2‑litre engine and a CNG‑AMT combo as possibilities.
- The facelift is expected to bring select Level‑1 ADAS items and more airbags with a small price rise versus today’s Baleno, and it aims to keep the model competitive against the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza.
