The Maruti Suzuki Baleno gets a new first-in-segment safety feature without any price hike
Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a great hatchback, it has been in the market for a long time. It is one of the best-selling premium hatchbacks. Now, to make it safer, Maruti Suzuki has decided to give the car a new first-in-segment safety feature. Maruti Suzuki has added a 3-point seatbelt and a headrest to increase the safety of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno without any price hike. The 3-point seatbelt for the middle passenger is quite a rare scene as only a lap belt is offered in many cars, same goes with the center headrest, other cars in the segment miss out on headrests.
