When it comes to the premium hatchback segment in India, the name that often surfaces first is the Maruti Baleno. Designed with a sporty appeal, this car is a visual treat, reflecting both sophistication and dynamism. Not only is its exterior design a key talking point, but the Baleno also boasts a powerful engine and an array of modern features that set it apart in its category. Coupled with generous cabin and boot space, its performance on the road remains unparalleled.
Discussing the ‘Sigma’ variant of the Maruti Baleno, it has been introduced in the market at an ex-showroom starting price of INR 6,61,000. The on-road price stands at INR 7,52,756. However, for those who might find this a tad steep for their budget, there are attractive financing plans available. To detail the financial aspects, based on online down payment and EMI calculators, banks are offering loans at an annual interest rate of 9.8%. This would cover a loan amount of INR 6,52,756. The loan term provided is 5 years, translating to 60 months, with a monthly EMI of INR 13,805. Once the loan is secured, a down payment of INR 1,00,000 will be required.
Delving deeper into its specifications, the Maruti Baleno is a flagship model of the company. Under its hood lies a potent 1107 cc engine. This engine can generate a maximum power of 88.50 BHP at 6000 RPM and a peak torque of 113 NM at 4400 RPM. The car comes fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, in terms of fuel efficiency – a critical factor for many Indian buyers – the company claims the Baleno offers a commendable mileage of 22.35 kilometers per liter.
