Talking about the luggage space, the Altroz CNG boot space stands at 210 litres. The exact Baleno CNG boot space hasn’t been officially mentioned by the carmaker, but it’s said to be quite decent. With the CNG tank and spare tyre taking up some room, usable space does get a bit tight. Still, if there’s no heavy luggage, you can manage to fit a fair amount of things without much trouble.
