TORQPULSE Feature: The Maruti Suzuki Baleno — A Premium Hatchback Worth Your Spotlight
Introduction
Welcome to TORQPULSE — where we dive deep into cars that matter, and today we’re shining the spotlight on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. A smart blend of style, practicality and tech in India’s hot hatchback space, the Baleno has carved a niche in the premium-hatch segment. As we explore what makes it tick (and where it may falter), consider this your go-to guide for blog-ready content: specs, pricing, highlights and analysis tailored to TorquePulse’s audience of passionate motoring readers.
Specification Overview
Here’s a clear table summarising the key specs of the Baleno in India. These are figures you can drop into your blog straight up — and I’ll follow with commentary to add your signature “TorquePulse” flavour.
| Parameter | Value | | Parameter | Value | | Seating Capacity | 5 persons | | Body Type | Hatchback | | Engine Displacement | 1,197 cc petrol | | Maximum Power | ~88 bhp @ 6000 rpm | | Maximum Torque | ~113 Nm @ 4400 rpm | | ARAI Claimed Mileage | ~22.35 kmpl (petrol) | | Boot Space | 318 litres | | Fuel Tank Capacity | 37 litres (petrol) | | Transmission Options | 5-speed manual & 5-speed AMT (depending on variant) | | Dimensions (L×W×H) | ~3990 mm × 1745 mm × ~1500 mm |
Pricing Snapshot (India)
For your readers, it’s key to give ball-park pricing with a note about region & on-road variations.
Ex-showroom pricing starts around ₹ 5.99 lakh.
Some sources put the wider range at ₹ 6.6 lakh to ~₹ 10.2 lakh depending on fuel type, variant and city.
On-road cost will be higher (city tax, registration, insurance) — worth flagging in your blog.
Why the Baleno Works (TorquePulse Perspective)
1. Premium hatch vibe: The Baleno sits a notch above many basic hatchbacks — better materials, more features and a more up-market design.
2. Practical size & space: With near-4 metre length (~3990 mm) and respectable boot space (318 litres), it balances manoeuvrability with usable interior.
3. Efficient engine & drivability: The 1.2 litre petrol engine’s output and claimed efficiency make it a strong daily driver in Indian conditions.
4. Hatchback with feature count: Given its pricing, the feature list and brand backing give it an edge for those looking for “value + feel”.
Things to Keep on Your Radar
Real-world mileage will differ from claimed figures. Traffic, load, terrain all matter.
Variant choice matters a lot: gearbox type (manual vs AMT), features, fuel type (petrol vs CNG) will impact cost & experience.
Even though ex-showroom price is attractive, on-road cost in metros will add up.
The competition in premium hatchbacks is fierce — so your blog can benefit from comparing the Baleno with rivals.
Conclusion & How to Present on TORQPULSE
When publishing on TORQPULSE, you might lead with a hook such as:
> “In the premium hatchback segment, the Baleno brings more than just name — it delivers substance. But is it enough to stand out in 2025?”
Then walk your reader through the specs table, pricing snapshot, pros & cons — using engaging tone, relatable commentary (“for city-commuters and occasional highway runs”), and finish with a verdict: “If you want a spacious, feature-rich hatch under ~₹8 lakh and don’t mind the competition, the Baleno should be high on your shortlist.”
Don’t forget to use high-quality images (exterior, interior, engine bay) and embed a call-to-action: “Head to your nearest NEXA showroom for a test drive and find the variant that aligns with your lifestyle.”
