AI GeneratedThe new Baleno facelift features the 1.2-litre Z12E engine, transitioning from a four-cylinder to a more efficient three-cylinder setup. This change aligns with strict modern regulations and prioritizes fuel economy, following the successful implementation of the same engine in the Swift and Dzire models.
Now let's talk about the engine under the hood, which is perhaps the biggest highlight
of the new Baleno facelift. Here we get to see the 1.2-litre Z12E engine from Maruti Suzuki
and yes, if you remember the engine names correctly, this is the same engine that does
duty on the Maruti Suzuki Swift as well as the Maruti Suzuki Desire. Now, the funda for this
engine was very clear, they have gone from a four-cylinder setup to three-cylinder setup
because this engine is a lot more efficient, a lot more easier to make it meet all the stringent
rules and regulations that are out there today. These are some of the most fuel-efficient cars
in the country. Now, you can say that four-cylinder characteristics are like this,
three-cylinder are like this, maybe this would have been better, maybe that would have been better,
but what the market says, what the end customer or buyer says, that is quite simple,
they don't mind because the Desire and the Swift continue to be selling by the bucket load,
these are some of the best-selling cars in the Indian market as well. So,
the fact that it's now come to the Baleno shouldn't be something that should be a talking point.
