As per reports, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Baleno Facelift is expected to have a HEV system, which might be integrated with a petrol engine that acts as a range extender. The mileage of the car is expected to come around 35 kmpl. In general hybrid systems, the petrol engine directly powers the wheel of a vehicle.
