The new Maruti Baleno is significantly heavier than the outgoing model and people are constantly linking it to enhanced safety.
In this latest video, the new Maruti Baleno was hit by a truck. This incident has been reported from Noida. Maruti is not widely popular when it comes to safety as some of its products have performed rather poorly in the GNCAP crash tests. This has been a constant pain point for the largest car manufacturer in the country over the years. However, this unfortunate crash of the new Baleno does raise some hope after its impressive performance during a severe crash. Here are the details of the incident.

The video has been uploaded by Prateek Singh on YouTube. He posts such content regularly in order to raise awareness among car buyers regarding investing in cars with a high GNCAP rating. In this instance, the Baleno was parked on the side of the road with 6 people sitting inside. That is when an uncontrolled truck hit the premium hatchback and the impact caused it to hit a pole. The vehicle was squeezed between the truck and the pole causing severe damage. Nevertheless, it managed to keep all the passengers safe which is something worth applause.
