Maruti Suzuki is known for its powerful cars in the Indian market. Especially Baleno, which has been the first choice of people since 2015. Now the news is that the company is preparing to launch a new hybrid version of this popular hatchback. It will be introduced with new technology and tremendous mileage. If you are also waiting for a car that gives excellent mileage, advanced features and strong performance, then Maruti Baleno Hybrid can be perfect for you.
Powerful powertrain of Maruti Baleno Hybrid
The Baleno Hybrid will be powered by a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, which will come with a new hybrid system. It will include a 1.5 kWh to 2 kWh battery and an electric motor, which will help the car to give excellent mileage.
This engine will be more fuel efficient than the conventional petrol engine and the power output will also be better. With the help of this hybrid technology, the mileage of the car is expected to be more than 35 km per litre, which will make it one of the most economical cars in the segment. Currently, the Baleno CNG variant gives a mileage of up to 30.61 km per kg, from which it can be guessed how much more economical the new hybrid version will prove to be.
Will be ahead in features and technology
The new Baleno Hybrid will be very advanced not only in terms of engine but also in terms of features. It can have features like 6 airbags, 360 degree camera, large infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument cluster and connected car technology. Apart from this, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) can also be seen, which will make it even safer.
This car of Maruti Suzuki will have a smart hybrid system, which will optimize the power between the battery and the engine. This technology will not only increase mileage but will also reduce carbon emissions, which will also benefit the environment.
Possible launch and price information
The Baleno Hybrid is expected to be launched in early 2026. This vehicle will be part of Maruti’s HEV series and will compete with upcoming hybrid vehicles from Toyota and Hyundai. However, the official launch date has not been announced by the company yet.
Currently, the price of Maruti Suzuki Baleno available in the Indian market ranges from Rs 6.66 lakh to Rs 9.83 lakh (ex-showroom). In such a situation, the price of the hybrid version can be slightly higher than this. According to estimates, its starting price can be above Rs 10 lakh, which seems quite reasonable considering its advanced technology and mileage.
