The standard Baleno is more than enough if you want a car with decent performance for everyday driving. But if you want a premium hatchback that offers a bit more wind in your sails and exclusivity that the RS badge brings with it, and don’t mind paying a premium for it, then the Baleno RS will not disappoint. The Baleno RS is powered by a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder Boosterjet petrol engine which develops 102PS of max power and 150Nm of peak torque. Despite a bump in the performance figures as compared to Maruti Baleno, the claimed mileage of the Maruti Baleno RS is impressive at 21.1kmpl, only 0.3kmpl lower than the stock hatchback.
