Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift in Nexa Blue with its chrome NEXWave grille

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno specifications describe a hatchback built for comfort and thrift rather than outright speed. The 1.2 litre Z12E three-cylinder petrol makes 82 bhp and 112.4 Nm, enough to keep the light body moving with ease. The spec sheet leans toward smoothness over drama.

Two gearboxes serve both fuels: a 5 speed manual and a 5 speed AMT, which Maruti calls AGS. The S-CNG gained the AGS on 18 September 2026. On both fuels the AGS reads a touch more efficient than the manual, which helps city buyers. Each choice keeps the same engine feel.

Fuel economy is a strong suit. The petrol manual is rated at 23.8 kmpl, the AMT at 24.77 kmpl, and the S-CNG reaches 33.61 km/kg with the manual or 34.47 km/kg with the AGS. Those numbers keep monthly costs low. The engine is smooth at cruising speed, so long drives feel relaxed rather than buzzy. Light controls make the Baleno easy to drive in heavy traffic.

On packaging, the 318 litre boot is among the biggest in the class, and the cabin is wide enough to seat three across the back for short trips. The tall roof frees up headroom. That space is the main reason buyers step up from cheaper hatchbacks. It helps to compare Baleno trims feature by feature.

Six airbags and ESP come on every trim. From there the kit climbs steeply, with a nine inch touchscreen from the Zeta and a head-up display and 360 camera on the Alpha grades. Read the sheet as a whole and the Baleno reads like a small car with big-car manners. Then pick from the Baleno's shades to round off the choice.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno power and torque explained

The Baleno keeps it simple with two 1.2 litre engines. One is a regular petrol, the other a factory CNG version made to keep your fuel bills low.

They suit different drivers. The petrol has more power and wants a few more revs before it feels strong. The CNG pulls willingly from low down and stays calm, which suits stop-start city traffic.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Z12E S-CNG (3-cylinder) spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.2 petrol makes 83 PS at 5700 rpm and 112.4 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm. Its strongest pull sits fairly high, so it feels happiest when you let it rev toward that 4500 rpm mark. Peak power arrives at 5700 rpm, just 1200 rpm above the torque peak, so keep it spinning up there when you want its best. Around town it stays smooth and easy, but for confident highway overtakes you will want to drop a gear. Pick this one if you drive a healthy mix of city and open road and like a car that responds when pushed. Before you decide, check the petrol Baleno's on-road price.

The factory CNG version makes 70 PS at 5700 rpm, with 101.8 Nm of torque coming in early at 2900 rpm. That low torque peak means it pulls willingly from just off idle, so crawling through traffic feels relaxed and needs fewer gear changes. Its useful pull then stretches all the way to peak power at 5700 rpm, a broad 2800 rpm spread. Power is modest at 70 PS, so a loaded highway climb asks for patience and a little planning before you overtake. Since September 2026 the CNG also comes with the AGS automatic, rated at 34.47 km/kg. Choose this engine if you cover big daily distances and want the cheapest fuel bills. It helps to see how it fits into the wider Baleno range before you commit.
