At 170mm, the India-spec Baleno sits 20mm higher than its international sibling.

Single-tone interiors look classy but makes them feel a bit gloomy.

The 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine is essentially the same unit as on the Swift but in a different state of tune.

The 1.2-litre petrol is also the same unit as on the Swift but now gets the option of a CVT gearbox.

The SmartPlay infotainment system comes equipped with Apple CarPlay. Android Auto is also expected to be introduced in the near future.

Generous 339-litre boot is way bigger than the one on the Swift.

The rear seat is spacious and offers good legroom and can seat three abreast though headroom can get a bit tight.

The top-spec Baleno comes equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels.

The rear-seats can be folded to increase luggage capacity.

The blue backlight instrument panel stands out in the all-black interior.

Rear seat passengers have access to a 12V charging socket.

The multi-information display comes equipped with a multitude of functions including real time fuel economy, average speed, range and a unique power and torque meter.
