Top 5 Tech Features in New Maruti Suzuki Baleno
HUD
The new Baleno gets a Head-Up Display.
The unit displays gear position, engine rpm, speed, and time.
The HUD generally makes a car safer to drive as the driver does not have to take his or her eyes away from the road to read these details.
The HUD unit is available with the top-spec Alpha variants of the Baleno, while Maruti Suzuki could make it an optional extra with the other trims.
Alexa Connect
New Maruti Suzuki Baleno now also gets Alexa Connect which allows for voice commands via paired Alexa devices.
New Maruti Suzuki Baleno is not the first mass-market vehicle to offer this since the new Honda City gets Alexa support as well, but the Baleno will be first in its class to offer this feature.
All this feature is with the top-spec trim of the Baleno.
Surround-View
Surround-view is an interesting feature to have because it adds as a safety blanket.
With the help of cameras, occupants get to see a complete 360-degree view of the car’s surroundings, making it easier to get out of tight spots, or park.
This again is a feature reserved for the Alpha trim of the Baleno.
Suzuki Connect
With the help of the Suzuki Connect, one can keep track of the car’s health, keep track of the fuel level, odo metre reading, lock unlock the car, as well as support remote functions using a smartwatch.
Cruise Control
Cruise control is another feature of the new Baleno.
New Maruti Suzuki Baleno also gets ESP with hill hold, six airbags, ABS and EBD, Brake Assist, reverse parking sensors, and more, making the new Baleno the safest of all its iterations.
