On-Road Score

1) Best-in-class refined 4-cylinder engine. This itself automatically makes the car better than any 3-cylinder engines in the market, IMO. Low vibrations matter a lot to me. 2) Excellent & smooth shifting gear box 3) Very good suspension & ride quality 4) Fuel-effiecient. CNG version gives 20 kph in city 32 kph on highways. Petrol 14 kph in bumper- tobumper traffic and 21 on highways. 5) Exterior design is that of a hot hatch, with no cheap black plastic cladding. I see most cars have them now as a cost-cutting measure, I find them ugly. Body-coloured bumper is a big deal now, very cars have them. 6) Acceleration & decelaration is smooth & linear. 7) Reaosnably priced. 8) 80 kgs heavier than Baleno 1st version. Not likely to get 5- star safety rating, but not too bad either. 9) Trackrecord of long -lasting engines. 10) 170 mm ground clearance. With a slighly higher profile tyres, its GC can increase by 10 mm without affecting the mileage & the driving dynamics much. That's that. I can't think of any other other car in the segment. I am not huge fan of cars more than 15 lakhs in India as they are

Maruti Suzuki Baleno is my favourite car.The thing which attracts me most about this car is its modern design .Its front grille, Bi led Headlamps with Led DRLs and Diamond cut Alloys makes it design eye catchy. This car offers ample of Headroom and leg space in both rows.It offers a boot of 318 Ltrs which fits enough stuffs. It comes with 1.2 Ltr K series Engine .This engine is a gem from Maruti Suzuki.This 4 cylinder engine is so smooth and combination of performance and milege.

For safety Maruti Suzuki Packs it with 6 Airbags,Abs ,Ebd,Esp, and stonger body structure. Service network of Maruti is Spreaded Almost everywhere and it's maintenance is also economical

I had a very good experience with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. The car looks stylish and feels smooth while driving. It gives good mileage, which saves fuel and money. The seats are comfortable, and there is enough space for five people. The touchscreen and music system work well. It is also easy to drive in the city and on highways. Overall, I am happy with the performance and comfort of the Baleno.

I’ve been driving the Baleno for a few years now, and honestly, it’s been a super smooth experience. The car feels spacious and premium from the inside, and the mileage is great I easily get around 20 kmpl in city traffic. Features like the touchscreen and 360° camera are really helpful. It’s not a performance car, but for daily drives and comfort, it’s more than enough. Maintenance is light on the pocket too, If you want a stylish, practical, and hassle-free hatchback, Baleno won’t disappoint.

My first car is a 2015-manufactured, January 2016-registered Maruti Baleno, and it’s been a reliable companion. It scores high on space, engine refinement, fuel efficiency (22 kmpl overall), and low cost of ownership. The car has proven to be dependable over the years with minimal maintenance. However, its stiff suspension makes rides less comfortable for elderly passengers, especially on bumpy roads. Despite that, it's a well-rounded hatchback ideal for city and highway use.
