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	Sporty exterior design with sharp front end with LED DRLs First in segment to offer 6-airbags as standard and upto 30 Safety features Active safety features such as ESP, hill-hold, traction contol, VSM and more Smooth 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto It offers premium features such as wireless charging, TPMS, rear AC vents and more It comes with premium interior with an option of 3 interior colour tones (depending on variant) Comes with company fitted CNG option The steering wheel is light and offers good handling The gearshifts are smooth in manual variants & one of the smoothest AMT transmission on offer	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 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.
