Baleno’s genes are transordinated, with the distinct design that sets it apart – makes it the in-thing. It’s both precise and refined. With the new shade of Nexa Blue, besides other colors including the premium Urban Blue to the sporty Autumn Orange, to the bold Ray Blue, exuberant Magma Grey and the reserved premium silver and silky silver, the Baleno is elegant in every way, inside out. The rear design of X is also poised and shows a connected LED taillight unit that stretches the tailgate width, add to the distinct familiarity of hatch at night as well. Considerate design changes mean the Baleno retains its position as one of the most chic cars in its sector, but without affecting its function as a usable hatchback.
