Maruti Suzuki has launched the new 2019 Baleno, and prefers calling it the ‘Bold New Baleno‘. The new car gets a reworked fascia, which includes a 3D grille and restyled fog lamp garnish. The car also gets new 16″ alloy wheels and LED projectors with DRLs. On the inside, the new Baleno gets a black interior with blue highlights for a fresh new appeal. The upholstery gets a two-tone treatment and the interior is also better ornamented than before. The biggest change to the interior, however, is the inclusion of a new 17.78cm capacitive touch screen infotainment display with voice commands, which Maruti Suzuki calls the SmartPlay Studio infotainment system. The system is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compliant, and gets navigation with live traffic updates.
