The Smart Hybrid technology with Li-ion battery will be offered in two variants of Baleno : Zeta and Delta 1.2 litre Dualjet Dual VVT at price Rs 7.25 lakh and Rs 7.86 lakh respectively.

New Delhi: India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki on Monday announced that the company is all set to launch new 1.2 litre DualJet, Dual VVT BS VI engine with next generation smart hybrid technology in Baleno.

The new BS VI compliant Baleno (Petrol) with Smart Hybrid will soon be available at NEXA showrooms across the country, Maruti Suzuki said in a release.

The Smart Hybrid technology with Li-ion battery will be offered in two variants of Baleno : Zeta and Delta 1.2 litre Dualjet Dual VVT at price Rs 7.25 lakh and Rs 7.86 lakh respectively.

The technological advancement leads to improved fuel efficiency while reducing vehicular emissions. Existing 1.2 L VVT petrol engine variants will also be BS VI compliant and available in all variants including CVT.

Introducing the BS VI compliant Baleno with Smart Hybrid, R S Kalsi, Senior Executive Director, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India, said “We have over 5.5 lakh happy Baleno customers since its launch in 2015 and sold more than 2 lakh units in the last fiscal year. We recently upgraded Baleno with latest design and technology. Baleno Smart Hybrid with BS VI stands testament to the same. We are confident that the premium hatchback Baleno will present a complete package in line with aspirations of evolving customers.”

Baleno is India’s first premium hatchback to be offered with Smart Hybrid technology, the company claims. The lithium-ion battery is compact and designed for long service life. The updated powertrain with Smart Hybrid technology will continue to excite discerning Baleno customers.

The BS VI compliant petrol vehicles will lead to a substantial reduction of nearly 25 per cent in Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions. BS VI norms also enforce stringent limit on Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) emissions. The BS VI norms ensure a substantial increase in the durability of exhaust after-treatment system.
