Sigma Price and Specs, Maruti Suzuki Baleno Facelift

Sigma is where the Baleno range begins, at ₹5.99 Lakh ex-showroom. It pairs the new three-cylinder 1.2 litre Z12E petrol, good for 82 bhp and 112.4 Nm, with a five speed manual. Maruti rates it at 23.80 kmpl, and idle start/stop cuts the engine at long signals.

Maruti did not skimp on protection here. Six airbags, ESP with hill hold assist, brake assist, ISOFIX anchorages and reverse parking sensors all come as standard. You also get a manual digital AC, keyless entry, power windows on all four doors and NEXA Signature LED tail lamps.

The trade-offs are clear. There is no audio system or touchscreen, the wheels are 15 inch steel with full covers, and tyre pressure monitoring is missing. If you want a roomy Baleno at the lowest price and plan to add your own stereo, it works. For a screen and rear AC vents, the Delta asks ₹1.01 Lakh more.
