मारुति सुज़ुकी बलेनो [2015-2019] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Buying experience:look is superb but lack of power and hard suspension is big drawbacks, RM from nexa makes false commitment, i purchase baleno zeta on 2nd aug 2017 but still waiting registration no and original invoice , Poor service at service center,theft petrol at a time of first service at service center,,

EXTERIOR : Appealing appearance. Looks (and is) a large sub four meter hatchback. INTERIOR: Here's where the sh** hits the ceiling! The quality of the interior plastic is highly inferior. Marutisuzuki 's promise of a "high-end Nexa experience" is nothing but a lie. I can't believe that a so called high quality car can be fitted with such cheap plastic. Even the power windows buttons have been borrowed from older maruti models and look dated and boring. Leg room though is adequate all around and the only good thing about the interior is the spacious width easily accommodating three adults in the back seat. PICK UP AND RIDE QUALITY : Ride quality is firm but this improves handling and reduces roll. Pick up could have been a bit better if the dated swift engine would have been substituted with a newer engine developed for this particular model. Acceleration is linear though and gear shifts in the city are not frequent.

I was almost ready to exchange my Swift 2013 car with this one but after researching it thoroughly and after driving it for few kilometres I changed my mind and postponed until it's getting upgraded to Baleno 3rd edition probably in the year 2020. Looks, performances and features wise it's good but not the best. 

Here, I'm talking about the Alpha 1.2 variant, the top end model of Baleno

Cons... 1. Gloves box being tooooo small and without an AC duct.

2. As the car is lenghthy enough touching almost 4 mtrs, so, a rear AC Vent with blower speed control and direction lever must have been provided. In summer, when outside temp. reaches out 44 degree Celsius that time it's being felt very badly, or else you need to turn the blower to max speed and make the cabin very noisy.

3. The back seat centre arm rest with cup holders and some utility holes. I don't understand why this feature is not added to this premium model of Baleno.

4. The plastics and switches, just carried forward from the Swift which I'm still the owner, and the steering wheel, I feel like I'm driving my Swift car only till the time I look on MID (multi info display and Touch screen infotainment).

5. HERE maps is not as smart as Google maps, so, never whole-heartedly depend on it, and Maps are not also updated before delivery of the vehicle.

6. NO.. Android Auto on Infotainment, just Apple car play. I don't know WHYYY....

7. LED lights should have been placed to lighten up the interiors/ Cabin and in rear boot space.

8. Alloy wheel look like normal wheel with smart wheel covers found in the market until you go really close to.

9. Radio antennae could have been like a Dorsal fin instead of Swift's.

10. Some more colour option should have been there, like Dual-colour or combination of colours.

11. DRLs should also start giving directions to the turns along with blinkers on mirrors. I mean to say, if i want to turn to the right the DRLs should run the light from left to right and vice versa for left turns.

12. Overall, no such premium feeling whatsoever.

Baleno is a great car in hatchback segment. It is very comfy, smooth and fairly powerful. There are no issues in the car so far driving few thousands of km. The infotainment system is great with all the required features for a modern car. Audio system is good with good quality sound system. Overall a good car package

Exterior & Interior looks great. But the problem with my Baleno was web sudden braking, the car moves freely for some seconds with a rotary motor sound( it's not ABS). Now 2 days before my car broke down in travelling, the problem is with engine pump. Currently my car is with service and waiting for availability of new parts which S not n stock anywhere. Feeling disappointed in maruti.

NANA

Exterior Look wise its best in the segment. U will feel an Premium hatchback.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space inside this car is very good,comfortable for 5 passengers. AC is powerful. As it is a sigma i had a option to choose the multimedia touch screen music instrument by paying extra money. When i installed it the entire cabin looks prety awesome.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine @ low RMP is not punchy but in India conditions we have to compromise. But when it crosses 2000 RMP engine starts to respond. 

Fuel Economy I am getting 16- 18 KMPL on highway with AC. @speed 0f avg 85-100 KMPH. 

Gearbox Very responsive & very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth Clutch & Handling is very smooth. Ride quality is good, Suspensions are little hard compared to other vehicle in same segment.

Final Words Overall its a value for money. My suggetion go for sigma model & you can customise the car feature a according to your budget.

Areas of improvement NA.

Excelent CarNothing ......

Exterior Looking good.  Material ussed is low quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good but not as mentioned in the list  like CD player.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Eng performance is good.  Fuel economy is also good.

Ride Quality & Handling Driving experience is good.

Areas of improvement The service provided by NEXA is poor. I booked the vehcile on 31 Jan 2018 and got the delivery of vehicle on 19 Mar 2018. I demanded the Feb 2018 model when booked the vehicle but on ground I received the Jan 2018  model.

This I came to know on receipt of registration paper in Apr 2018. The staff kept me in dark about make at the time of delivery. On enquiry no satisfactory answer/reason told by the staff. After 10 days of delivery one tyre got damaged. I bought this to the notice of the NEXA. They had completed the formality of sending the photos of tyre to the Appollo and handed over the report from Appollo tyres that the tyre damage is external and could not be replaced.

I had lodged the complint about delivery of Jan 2018 model instead of Feb 2018 to NEXA Manager Sangli Maharashtra but no reply received till date. Now I am going to file a case against NEXA in Consumer Court. Very very bad experience from NEXA.

Good fuel economy, good look.Bad quality material used for body. The service provided by NEXA is not upto the standard

I'm in my 50's now! It has been a long association with the brand Maruti Suzuki since 1992 when I bought my first car Maruti 800. A long drive from Durgapur, West Bengal to Bangalore with family was rather a memorable journey. Since then my association with Brand Maruti has been intact. My next buy was Maruti Suzuki Ritz, which is great for zippy rides in Bengaluru Traffic. In August 2016, I upgraded to Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha 1.2 manual gear shift which I purchased from NEXA outlet at Museum Road, Bengaluru. I was impressed by its upscale looks, amazing yet stylish interiors, and the smart dashboard console. My Nexa Showroom experience was very good. The staff at Museum road showroom of Nexa were well aware of the premium product they were selling. Hattsoff to the amazing customer service of NEXA. Its been 2 years and 20,000kms now and I have never faced any issue with this car in terms of performance or maintenance. I get my car serviced as per Maruti's service schedule and its worth choosing them for genuine and prompt service. As most people say Maruti car is the best low maintenance car in India, now I assure you it is... Owning 3 generations of Maruti cars, I feel pride to share this with all of you. To all the new buyers, go ahead without any doubt and buy this car! Its always worth your budget. And as the Maruti's tag line says " Count On Us" you can trust them on this.

Hi All , I prefer don,t to buy this car , I had a good though will ridding but when i saw a incident in which the Van and baleno get hitted face to face in slow speed the car get 90 percentage damage in which the van get only 10 percent damage , if the car hit the Lorry /bus then there will be sure lose for the life ,so if you think the life is precious ,then it is not a good idea to buy this car .
