C V Raman, CTO, Maruti Suzuki on the new Baleno’s success, future models, and EVs: S2: Ep 5: The CarWale Podcast

The Baleno name plate isn’t new, and the model was initially introduced more than a decade ago as a sedan. While it was retired later, the brand name was resurrected as a premium hatchback that also marked the debut of the company’s Nexa chain of dealerships. The 2022 Baleno was launched in February and the car has amassed 50,000 bookings within a month of its price announcement. So what is it that makes the Baleno so appealing?

Maruti Suzuki and its future product offensive

The first quarter of the year recently came to an end and Maruti has already introduced a slew of products, new as well as updated, such as the new Baleno, 2022 Wagon R, Celerio CNG, and Dzire CNG. The carmaker will launch the updated Ertiga and XL6 in India soon, which is expected to be followed by the new Brezza (yes, it is likely to drop the Vitara moniker).
