Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha CVT Automatic Trim Launched At Rs. 8.34 Lakh

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was launched in October 2015 and the automaker has sold over 2 lakh units of the hatch in little less than two years. The first one lakh units were sold in less than a year with the Baleno setting the record for being the best-selling premium hatchback in India. Maruti Suzuki says that this is yet another effort from the company to 'democratise the two-pedal technology in India'. The Baleno is exported to over 100 countries and is the first ever car from the company's stables to be exported to Japan under the government's 'Make-in-India' plan. Till date, Maruti has exported over 68,000 units of the Baleno across the world. Maruti also says that its automatic car models used to contribute 6 per cent to the overall sales in FY15 and has increased to 11 per cent in 2016-17. The idea of the company is to make automatic cars more affordable to the masses and aims to sell 3 lakh automatic car units by 2020. Till date, the company has sold approximately 1.5 lakh cars which have automatic transmission.
