2022 Maruti Baleno First Accident | More Damage, What About New Safety, Is It Worth The Hype ?!

New Maruti Baleno 2022 was launched in India last month with new exterior design and updated creature comfort features. The new baleno also comes with some class leading safety features. The New gen Baleno has already recorded over 25k bookings so far and it's rapidly growing. 

Now a First reported crash of the 2022 Baleno is now surfacing online, shared via Rushlane Facebook Group. The incident took place earlier today in Guwahati. 

This new 2022 Baleno was getting ready to be delivered to its respective owner today. It was parked outside Bimal Nexa in Guwahati.

But before the car could be delivered to the owner, a Tata Ambulance crashed into the Baleno from the rear. This impact causing the Baleno to move forward and further damaging the front too.

Luckily, no one was injured in this incident. But that's an unfortunate crash shattering the dream of the car buyer until he gets the new one.

Compared to the outgoing Maruti Baleno, the 2022 model is heavier by about 50-70 kgs. As per official details the 50% of the added weight goes to reinforce the chassis with high-strength steel.

Of the remaining 50% , 25% goes towards the new features that weren’t available in the outgoing model. Like additional 4 airbags for higher trims, 360-degree camera, a larger touchscreen, rear AC vents, cruise control, and a self-centering steering wheel.

And the final 25% of the additional weight went towards improving the suspension. And that really paid well in the new Baleno which now gets better ride comfort comparing the previous one.

As I said before the 50% (25-35Kg approx) weight only goes towards the chassis improvement, so the doors and other sheet metals looks more or less same to the previous version.  Personally I didn’t find any noticeable difference in terms of the door weight and sheet metal thickness. 

This might be the reason for this level of damage to the tail gate & bonnet.

On the other hand, the new Baleno’s stronger chassis will give it a better crash test rating, then at least the safety conscious buyers will have nothing to worry about except for the feel.
