  • A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for
  • Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain
  • 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate!
  • Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls
  • 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive
Cons
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing
  • No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either
  • Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch
