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.
