From tomorrow, Swift will no longer be the flagship hatch for the Maruti Suzuki. Baleno is here, and we are getting it before the rest of the world. It will be sold exclusively from the Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa dealerships. According to the Japanese automaker, the hatchback will be sold in 100 countries across the globe and India is said to be the export hub for this car.
One of the main reason behind the development of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the popularity and sales of Elite i20. Soon after its launch, Hyundai managed to roll out over 10K units of Elite i20 in the Indian market on a monthly basis. And Maruti Swift, company’s flagship hatchback as of now, comes short of Elite i20 in almost every perimeter as it does not belong to that segment. Earlier, Baleno was a mid-size sedan and used to compete with Honda City until; it was replaced by the SX4 which indeed was replaced by the current Ciaz. But the Baleno moniker is back in a form of a premium hatchback.
