Pros & Cons

Punch Pros & Cons	Baleno Pros & Cons	Altroz Pros & Cons
Pros	The Punch offers a distinct appearance with its SUV-inspired styling Its interior provides good practical and utility space, ensuring functionality Equipped with a multitude of features including a 7-inch Harman touchscreen, rain sensing wipers, automatic climate control, and an electric sunroof The availability of dual-cylinder CNG technology gives usable boot space Convenient 90-degree door opening allows easy ingress and egres Enhanced safety is highlighted by its impressive 5-Star GNCAP rating The Punch demonstrates refined road manners and commendable on-road stability Customization packages are offered to enhance the car with additional features	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	The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine lacks the refinement found in competitors' 4-cylinder engines The cabin's width restricts accommodation to four adults, making it strictly a 4-seater There's no provision for a turbo-petrol or diesel engine The AMT transmission exhibits occasional jerkiness and feels sluggish The NVH level leaves room for improvement; the engine lacks the desired refinement The top-spec AMT variants surpass the Rs 10 lakh price bracket Some features, including auto-dimming IRVM, 60:40 folding rear seats, rear armrest, and rear AC vents, are not available	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.
