So it's confirmed: the 2026 Baleno facelift is losing its 1.2L 4-cylinder engine for the 3-cylinder unit already in the Swift and Dzire, and honestly this one hurts. That 4 cyl was so refined that once warmed up you genuinely couldn't tell it was running, inside or outside the car it was one of the few things that made the Baleno feel like it punched above its segment. They'll slap ADAS and a fancy top variant on the spec sheet to distract you, but the one thing you actually feel every single day refinement just quietly got worse. RIP .. K12N to the smoothest engine in Maruti's lineup, you deserved better.
