The Baleno had received a mid-life update in January 2019 when revisions were made to its face. The cabin got a new black-blue colour theme along with Maruti's latest SmartPlay Studio infotainment system which comes with the same 7.0-inch touchscreen and supports smartphone connectivity- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In a bid to meet the upcoming safety regulations, the new Baleno gets front airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and reverse parking sensors, speed alert and seatbelt reminder as standard fitments.

The sportier Baleno RS also remains mechanically unchanged. Under the hood, it retains the 998 cc three-cylinder turbocharged engine.
