Pros & Cons

Baleno Pros & Cons	Exter Pros & Cons	Punch EV Pros & Cons
Pros	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	It comes as a feature-loaded offering in its segment Offers largest boot space in the segment with 391 litres capacity The suspension is well-tuned to make it a perfect city car The AMTs are well tuned and offer a good driving experience The 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder NA petrol engine offers a good level of refinement Hyundai Exter’s interior is roomy as compared to its rivals A good number of safety features 6 airbags, ISOFIX child seat mount, ABS with EBD, ESC, TPMS, SOS Call and more The top-spec variant comes with a dual-camera dash cam Hyundai’s wide sales and service network is a boon for customers	-
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. 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.	The sharp lines and curves might not look pleasing to everyone It does not offer an option of either a turbo petrol or a diesel engine The rear row offers good legroom but the under-thigh support is not sufficient The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine is not much fun to drive on highways The cabin only offers an option of a black interior It misses on some features such as auto-dimming IRVM, 6-speaker music system, and split rear seat among others	-
