Joining the bandwagon of limited edition specs is their premium hatchback, Baleno.

As a part of the extra fittings, Maruti Suzuki will include a new body kit, lack quilted seat covers with carbon fibre finish, 3D floor mats, an illuminated scuff guard, premium cushions, smart key finder, NEXA key ring and premium tissue box.
