The Maruti Baleno 2026 face lift edition has introduced fresh styling as well as new technology including a 1.2-liter engine along with other upgrades to the vehicle. Among these, the Delta model comes one step above the basic Sigma variant and could prove to be a good option for customers looking for more features but without spending too much.
What Are The Exterior Add-Ons Of The Baleno Delta?
As compared to the Sigma version, the exterior of the Baleno Delta variant also gets some styling enhancements. These include a redesigned front grill with a silver finish, halogen projector headlights, and a redesigned bumper. The door handles in body color and ORVMs which also get integrated indicators, enhance the side view of the car. It also gets some wheel options in the form of 15-inch steel wheels with covers.
More Complete Cabin
The interior of the car consists of a cabin in blue and grey colors and aluminum dashboard inserts. The distinguishing characteristic of the car from the base model is that the Delta has received a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This model also has a four-speaker audio system, steering wheel controls, power ORVMs, rear AC vents and Type-C ports.
The seats have fabric upholstery along with adjustable headrests.
Safety Has All The Essentials Covered
The Delta version is equipped with six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assistance, TPMS, ISOFIX attachment points, seat belt alerts and reverse parking sensors. The recently unveiled Level 2 ADAS, however, continues to be available only in the Alpha(O) variant.
Petrol or CNG? What Options Do You Have?
The new Delta is available with the latest generation 1.2-liter petrol engine producing 83PS and 112Nm of torque. It has a 5-speed manual as well as a 5-speed AMT gearbox. Then there is also a CNG version of the car that has the same engine performance of 70PS and 102Nm torque with manual transmission.
Starting prices for petrol manual versions of Delta are ₹7 lakh onwards, ₹7.50 lakh for AMT version and ₹7.92 lakh for CNG version.
Conclusion
The Delta seems like one of the most sensible variants in the revamped Baleno range. While it lacks some premium features, it comes with all of the above-stated features, but without making it a costly variant.
It is suitable for those people who only need a feature-rich family car instead of ventilated seats or other such features and not those wanting a premium hatchback. Some of the premium hatchback competitors include the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz, and Toyota Glanza.
