Pros & Cons

C3 X Pros & Cons	Baleno Pros & Cons	Altroz Pros & Cons
Pros	Looks good and offers a striking design Comes with a fuel-efficient 1.2-litre NA petrol and a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine The 6-speed manual transmission is smooth and offers light gearshifts The cabin is well laid out with practical storage spaces It offers good features such as a digital instrument cluster, 10-inch infotainment with wireless connectivity among other features It offers multiple customization options to suit different kinds of buyers The suspension is comfortable and the hatchback offers good handling	The new Baleno looks more sporty yet elegant in design It offers a practical cabin with a spacious and feature-loaded interior Standard features include all-4 power windows. The car also has automatic climate control and a rear defogger. Fuel-efficient petrol and CNG engines on offer You can get the automatic transmission at an affordable price. Segment first features on offer such as 360 camera and head-up display The suspension is well-tuned to offer a comfortable ride Maruti’s widespread sales and service network	Solid built quality - the safest premium hatchback in India. Only hatchback in the segment with a diesel engine Offers adequate boot space: 345 litres in petrol and diesel variants, and 210 litres in the CNG variant. Includes several segment first features. The 90-degree door opening allows easy ingress and egress. Offered with three powertrains, each tailored for different customer needs. Three gearboxes available with petrol engine. The extended thigh support provides good comfort for both front and rear seats
Cons	The cost-cutting measures are noticeable within the cabin There is no option for an automatic transmission The top-spec variant is priced at Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom), which is relatively high for its segment The integrated headrests are not ergonomically comfortable The cabin width accommodates four adults comfortably, but fitting five people might be uncomfortable The limited availability of service centers and dealer networks poses a concern for long-term reliability	The Baleno lacks turbo petrol and diesel engine choices The automatic transmission exhibits a noticeable lag. It lacks the smoothness seen in rival offerings with CVT or DCT. It doesn't deliver an enjoyable driving experience, as the engine is tuned more for efficiency 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.	No automatic gearbox with diesel engine. Diesel engine limited to three variants only. Touch-based controls for the air conditioner may take time to become second nature. Light colour interiors tend to get dirty more easily. The thick-A pillar takes up a lot of space. Tata's questionable after-sales support and service.
