Maruti Suzuki Baleno
Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the top seller in its class of premium hatchbacks leaving rivals like i20, Tata Altroz, and its twin, the Toyota Glanza behind with its easy-to-maintain nature and the combination of practical modern tech and a no-nonsense petrol engine that churns out a good fuel economy as well. Starting at Rs 6.66 lakhs ex-showroom, it offers a good value for money offering you a very well-balanced hatchback that scores well in almost all the areas. However, a crash test rating is awaited to assess how stable is the body shell when under impact. Another reason for its unmatched success is the deep market penetration of Maruti with its solid presence even in tier-3 cities.

Baleno Highlights
On Target
Spacious and feature-packed hatch with smooth petrol engine; stable ride makes it confidence-inspiring at speed.
What We Like
Comfortable rear seat for three, responsive engine, large cabin, and well-equipped with modern tech and features.
What We Do Not Like
Tall boot lip, soft seats for long drives, AMT less refined than CVT, and cabin lets in external noise.

What could have been better

Several features are absent which can be seen in competitors. They include an air purifier, rear armrest, sunroof, and TPMS.
The higher variants of the Baleno are pricey. The features provided do not seem to justify the cost.
Should I buy the Baleno?
The Baleno is a practical family car with numerous features and an efficient engine. It's an excellent option with the availability of a CNG option. This makes it an attractive choice for budget-conscious buyers. However, it doesn't offer a diesel engine. But, if you prioritize a more enjoyable driving experience, you may prefer the Hyundai i20 or the Tata Altroz. This is especially true as their automatic transmissions are smoother.
