Baleno is India’s first premium hatchback to be offered with Smart Hybrid technology. The Lithium-ion battery is compact & designed for long service life.
The Baleno with progressive smart hybrid technology with lithium ion battery will offer torque assist function wherein the energy stored in the lithium ion battery assists during acceleration delivering optimal acceleration and performance without compromising on fuel efficiency. The car will have Idle start stop function wherein the engine automatically stops when idle and silently starts when the optimal conditions are met. This helps in increasing fuel efficiency. It will also have Brake energy regeneration function which in essence means that when the vehicle decelerates, the Smart Hybrid technology intelligently charges the batteries which in turn assist the engine’s idle start stop and the torque assist functions.
The BSVI compliant petrol vehicles will lead to a substantial reduction of nearly 25% in Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions. BSVI norms also enforce stringent limit on Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) emissions. The BSVI norms ensure a substantial increase in the durability of exhaust after-treatment system.
In order to achieve this stringent emission regulation requirement, company has upgraded both engine hardware & software along with exhaust system. The Engine control software has been upgraded for more precise fuel injection control using various on-board sensors to ensure cleaner and durable emission control.
