2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno spotted testing

Maruti Suzuki has been testing the Baleno hatchback for quite some time. A test mule speculated to be a strong hybrid model was spotted in December with strain gauge apparatus. But the car was not seen with any cosmetic changes. For the first time, images of a development mule have emerged on the internet with camouflage covers. These covers appear to hide the new details that will debut in the near future.

2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno – Exterior Updates

According to the spy shots, the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno will come with an extensive update and not just a minor facelift that we saw in 2019. The Baleno will use the same body shell, but the tail lamps are likely to come with new light signatures and a new design that is squarish than before.

The brand is also likely to change the alloy wheel design, and the rear bumper may also get a new shape. The front of the Baleno is likely to receive the majority of the changes. The brand is likely to employ a new grille, update the bumper design and update the light signatures. Although we cannot confirm the changes at this time, as spy shots from the front are not available.
