Following the government’s announcement of the addition of new taxes in the automotive sector, many automakers have announced a hike in prices of their offerings to shift the impact of the new taxes onto customers. Maruti Suzuki is among those to raise prices across board except for the Ciaz and Ertiga SHVS.

This means the Baleno has received its second consecutive price hike since launch with the prices of the model now starting at Rs 5.15 lakh as against its launch price of Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The hike in prices across the Baleno model range varies between Rs 4,263 and Rs 16,699, depending on the variant in question.
