The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was launched in the country back in 2015. Since then, it has been one of the best-selling cars in the premium hatchback segment. The company has now announced that in such a short span of 5 years, the Baleno has surpassed the 8 lakh sales milestone.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is India’s first hatchback to feature Smart Hybrid technology. It has been carrying the title of ‘Best-selling Premium Hatchback’ since 2016. Thanks to its bold persona, distinctive liquid-flow design, a long list of features, and peppy performance, the Baleno has become a member of over 8 lakh Indian families since its inception.
Speaking on the success of the Baleno, Mr Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said:
ArrayIndia’s most loved premium hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno has a very special place in our portfolio.
