2015 Maruti Baleno review, road test

Smartplay is what Maruti calls its new seven-inch touchscreen-based infotainment system. It debuted on the Ciaz and has since found its way into more models, like the Ertiga and S-Cross. In the Baleno though it also debuts Apple CarPlay, which lets you mirror your iPhone’s interface on the screen for much better control. The Google equivalent, Android Auto, will be introduced later, Maruti says. However, even the standard Smartplay interface is one of the crispest and easiest-to-use. There’s no CD player, but you do get aux, USB, Bluetooth, and sat-nav, and it also acts as the monitor for the rear-view camera.
