The extended thigh support provides good comfort for both front and rear seats
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 headrests on the front are not adjustable Not a fun to drive car but offers relaxed driving experience The suspension travel is less resulting in jerks while hitting potholes at high speed No turbo petrol engine or diesel engine on offer Top variants comes with a premium price tag as compared to the rivals CNG option is available in mid-variants only No AMT in the base variant	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.

  Maruti cars are affordable, family-friendly, and well suited for middle-class families across India. Their maintenance cost is very low, and service support is easily available in every corner of the country. This is why Maruti cars remain the first choice for many middle-class families.

  The car is excellent and very comfortable. The engine runs smoothly, and the alloy wheels look great. The colour has a royal appeal, and the leather seat covers add extra comfort. The 360-degree camera enhances the driving experience, while the DRLs add to the overall beauty. The LED lights also provide very good visibility.
