Maruti introduced the new Baleno in the Indian market recently with a starting price of INR 6.35 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is currently offering seven variants of the Baleno in the Indian market. The brand is also expected to introduce the CNG variants of the Baleno soon and the Baleno CNG will take on the rivals like the upcoming Altroz iCNG. Here is a quick 2022 Maruti Baleno CNG Vs Tata Altroz iCNG comparison that you should check out.
2022 Maruti Baleno CNG Vs Tata Altroz iCNG - Design And Dimensions
With the launch of the latest facelift model, we now get the Baleno with a better-looking design language that is largely dominated by new LED projector headlamps and LED DRLs while the front grille too is new now. While the car gets dual-cut alloy wheels on the higher trims, it is still unknown whether the same will be offered with the CNG iterations of the car. In all, the Baleno does boast a subtle and elegant styling that should appeal to almost everyone.
