Maruti Suzuki is a car company that sells cars in India.

One of its cars is called the Baleno, a small hatchback.

The company has confirmed that a new, updated version of the Baleno will be launched on September 5, 2026.

This new version will look fresher, with changes to the front grille and bumpers.

Inside, the car will mostly keep its current dashboard and big 9-inch touchscreen.

It might get a sunroof and soft lighting to make the cabin nicer.

The engine will stay the same: a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a manual or automatic gearbox.

There will also be a CNG version that runs on gas.

The new Baleno will cost a little more than the current one, which is priced between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.10 lakh.

It will compete with other popular hatchbacks like the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza.
