Maruti Suzuki YTB Design Details

While the Maruti Suzuki YTB will be based on the Baleno hatchback, it will take design inspiration from the new Grand Vitara. Up front, the new YTB will come with a split headlight design accompanied by a large chrome grille. Additionally, the YTB is likely to offer a new set of alloy wheels along with a raised ride height. At the rear, we do not expect much changes. It will continue to come with a split LED tail lights design like the Baleno.

Maruti Suzuki YTB Interior And Features

On the inside, we do not expect the YTB to bring any big changes over the Baleno. It is likely to come with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additional features could include a head-up display, automatic climate control, cruise control, automatic headlights, 360 degree parking camera and an auto-dimming IRVM.

Maruti Suzuki are likely to reintroduce the 1.0L turbo petrol engine from the discontinued Baleno RS with the new YTB. In the Baleno RS, this engine offered 102PS of power and 150Nm of torque and it came with a 5-speed manual transmission. We expect the YTB to offer a similar power and torque output to go up against the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite turbo and Renault Kiger turbo.
