Pros & Cons

i20 Pros & Cons	Baleno Pros & Cons	Altroz Pros & Cons
Pros	Impressive road presence coupled with a sporty design Packed with a decent array of features, including a 10-inch infotainment system, BOSE speakers, wireless charging, and more Boasts the best width and wheelbase in its segment Comes standard with 6 airbags and an additional 25 safety features Equipped with a voice-assisted sunroof for added convenience The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers good efficiency	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	Lack of turbocharged petrol, diesel, or CNG engine options The pricing is slightly higher compared to competitors Automatic transmission is limited to two variants only No provision for rear armrest and folding rear seat The top-spec variant comes with a higher price tag	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.

  This car is far better than others in its segment. The petrol version never gives a feeling of running out of range, even at speeds of 120 km/h. It’s incredibly smooth and silent.
