The Suzuki Baleno was launched in India back in 2015 in the premium hatchback segment and has been one of the best-selling cars ever since. Now, in a short life span of just 5 years, the car has surpassed the 8 lakh unit sales milestone in India. The  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.

Speaking on the success of Baleno Mr. Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “India’s most loved premium hatchback, Maruti Suzuki Baleno has a very special place in our portfolio. With its bold and premium design, cutting edge technology, and feature-rich offering, Baleno has helped us cement our position in the premium hatchback segment.

The bold persona, next-generation smart hybrid technology, distinctive liquid-flow design, cutting edge technology features, and superior performance makes it a winner. The timely innovations in Baleno are aligned to the changing aspirations of evolved India. This significant milestone of 8 Lakh delighted customers within a short span of 5 years is a testament of our customer-centric philosophy at the core of Baleno’s conceptualization.”
