Maruti Suzuki Baleno Updated – Receives New Safety Features

India's largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki has updated the Baleno with new safety features in India. The premium hatchback now gets ESP and hill hold as standard across all variants.

Diving into details, the addition of ESP makes the base variants of the Baleno premium hatchback a lot more safer by reducing the risk of skidding. This feature is especially useful during slippery road conditions.

Furthermore, with the added hill-hold function, new Baleno users can easily drive on steep inclines without worrying about the vehicle rolling backwards as the vehicle will continue to apply brakes for a few seconds even after the user releases the brake pedal. This gives plenty of time for the user to shift gear and move forward.

Other noticeable safety feature on the updated base-spec Maruti Suzuki Baleno includes safety systems such as driver and passenger airbags, speed alert, seat belt reminder, ABS with EBD braking system, reverse parking sensors, brake assist, seat-belt tensioner and a few more.
