Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Ertiga Get Six Airbags Across All Variants

Maruti Suzuki has made six airbags available across all the variants of the Baleno hatchback and the Ertiga MPV in India. This is a remarkable safety improvement, as the Baleno was previously offered with six airbags solely in its top two variants, while the Ertiga had just four airbags in its top-spec models. Besides the safety upgrade, Maruti Suzuki has adjusted the prices of both models. The Baleno, which was earlier priced from Rs 6.70 lakh to Rs 9.92 lakh, has seen a price hike of 0.5%, approximately ranging between Rs 3,500–Rs 5,000, depending on the variant. The Baleno hatch now starts at Rs 6.74 lakh and goes up to Rs 9.96 lakh. Meanwhile, the Ertiga is subjected to a more substantial 1.4% price increase. It now starts at Rs 9.12 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. The features and powertrain of both Maruti Suzuki cars remain the same.
