2022 Maruti Baleno HUD
The automobile technology enthusiasts must already be aware of the functioning of HUD (Heads Up Display) in a car. But for the uninitiated, it could look like a trick from the movies. This is quite a common feature in high-end luxury cars, but an SUV like Kia Seltos also offers it. The usefulness of this function is quite evident but it is the cost associated with it that prevented carmakers to offer it on their mass-market cars. But using a relatively affordable version of this technology, Maruti has successfully been able to incorporate it in the new Baleno.
It is based on a simple reflection method where the details like speed, engine RPM, navigation instructions, engine symbols are displayed on a transparent glass screen that is above the driver’s instrument cluster so as to allow the driver to see relevant information without taking his/her eyes off the road. That is the reason why it is placed in the sight of the vision of the driver. With modern cars having so many screens and touch-operated functions, it becomes necessary to offer such features where drivers could focus more on the road rather than on various screens to operate in-car functions.
