Maruti Suzuki Baleno [2015-2019] User Reviews

very poor quality suspensions after riding few kilometers the suspension will become hard and pathetic riding experience the car is very lighter when compared to rivals they have made the car lighter for better fuel economy but riding on a average speed at 80-100 km per hr the mileage comes around 15-15.5 not more than that and there is some problem in vibration in steering ,if you look for better ride quality please don't goo with this car.

This car is beautiful and comfortable car justbecouse I like it.when I m first driving most exciting fillings so I love it this car. Front look is most expensive and interior design is great and handling and power I like it , fuel economy is about good. I think lot of people purchase this car. So finally I love it

maintenance free and good mileage under low budget premium range car. I like very much for my one of my favourite car and family also. Good customer service for on road support. Best mileage for long driving.

Exterior : Stunning

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : Great in features,very very good leg room and enough breadth for seating three on back seat,2 Airbags,ABS,EBD comes along with all varients and thats what i call a revolutionary step,thanks to the Team of Maruti suzuki,under thigh support could be better but not much issue.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Same engine of the swift so its trusted and reliable engine and the car is 100kg lighter than swift so even more fual economy than swift,gear box is best in comparison to any car under 10 lkh rs.

Safety features,looks,pricing,comfort,gear box,performance,Fual economy.Under thigh support of back seats and plastic quality of the dashboard.

Exterior

GOOD: Nice looking car with an excellent appeal from rear three fourth. Good looking Projector Head Lamp.Dark UV cut glasses gives good look to the car. Rear view also good with LED lights.

BAD: Fog lamps should have a chrome outer design, Rear Bumber not projecting out to good length. Alloys wheels could have been more stylish (now classic look).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

GOOD: Comfort seating with more space, Good entertainment system with fast responsive touch interface, Nice AC cools cabin very fast, acceptable sound quality no need to  upgrade if you dont want thumping bass.Back quarter glass gives airt feel to the cabin.

BAD: Plastics quality should have been better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

GOOD: Smooth gear shift, no vibration in gear lever, less need of first gear in moderate to heavy traffic, 2nd and 3rd will do the job.

BAD: clutch is at the bottom we will have to depress fully to change gear , RPM set to 600 at starting hence may stall on 1st gear if do  not  have experience in releasing the clutch carefully ( being new vehicle slightly hesitent to increase RPM in the morning).

Ride Quality & Handling GOOD: Nice stable ride (touched 100 kmph with  new car at a windy costal road ), Good response to steering , weight can be felt at high speed thus giving a better feel of control.

BAD Slightly hard suspension (not 100% smooth comfy ride like some SUVs)

Final Words LUCY TO GET car with in one month of booking ( booked on 30/10/2015  received on 26/11/2015 white colour ) .Excellet NEXA experience never visited the showroom for booking ( all paper less ( whattsapp and mail) ).Once visited for testdrive and then for taking delivery.

Areas of improvement When roads of our state improves a more powerful engine to ZOOM around ( as for now this engine is fine for the roads I drive on).

AC, DRL, CABIN INSULATION ,GREAT MILAGE , GOOD DRIVER SEAT COMFORT AND VISIBILITY , GOOD SPACEBACK SEAT CAN BE BROADER , MIRROR AND WINDOW CONTROLS NOT BACK LIT

Exterior Nice looking car with an excellent appeal. LED lights give a great view from back. Looks like a sporty car in Red color.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Comfortable seating and more space then Dzire & Swift. Good sound quality for those who dnt want thumping bass. Nice AC cools cabin very fast.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Thing is it has a smooth gear shift and no vibration in lever.

Bad thing is while shifting gear from 1st to 2nd it give jerks if you instantly remove your foot from clutch and also pick up is not good in 1st gear as compare with Dzire and Swift.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good response to steering specially in hilly areas and on curved roads. Ride is also stable.Cutting is very good then of Dzire and Swift.

Final Words Very Lucky to get this car in a waiting of 1 Day. Overall Car is Excellent except 1 or 2 Areas of improvement.

Areas of improvement Company should work on the engine noise which you fell while seating in the cabin also(This thing you feel in Dzire and Swift after 1year) which gives a bad impresion to the car.

AC, DRL, CABIN INSULATION ,GREAT MILAGE , GOOD DRIVER SEAT COMFORT AND VISIBILITY , GOOD SPACEEngine noise in the cabin

Exterior The car is quite stylish and has a good road presence. Overall look of the car is quite decent and pleasing. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are a delight in the new Baleno. From instrument cluster to Music System to the rear legroom, everything is par expectations. The boot is quite big too. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quiet and responsive. Fuel economy is excellent under driving conditions in Delhi. It gave me an impressive 17 kmpl (without AC) on my last calculation. Gearbox is probably the best in this segment.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pretty decent, haven't driven the car above 110 yet, so cannot say about very high speeds. Handling is quite good, thanks to the light steering. 

 

Final Words It's a good option if you're looking for a decent car which has all necessary features. The car is fun to drive and you will love to flaunt it because of stylish exteriors. 

 

Areas of improvement Quality of plastics used in the interiors, some of the centre console buttons are really cheap, reflect the cost cutting done in otherwise impressive and stunning interiors. Build quality too, is just average if you compare it with the likes of VW Polo or Hyundai i20.  

 

 

Gear Shift, Pickup, MileagePoor quality plastics

Exterior

Fantastic exterior. Specially if you look at it from backside. From from its headlight resemble s to swift but still can help you in differentiating. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Very spacioues, confortable for 3 people at back and can easily fit the forth one. Really liked the dashboard specially the TFT screen. All useful information is avalibale on the screen and easy to read for the driver. 

Can improve a bit on the music system(should intrduce touchscreen if not apple play in Zeta modal).

Kudos to Suzuki for making Airbags,ABS and EBD standard across all variants.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is very smooth in city. But lacks power when you.run on highways. I can't say much about mileage as just driven 350kms. Will update once I drive around 1k.

Ride Quality & Handling

Awesome handling and very smooth gear transmission. Havn't seen such smoothness in any other maruti car. The 16 inch wheels provides more comfortable ride during city's potholes.

Final Words

Go for it..!! Really loved the car.

Areas of improvement 

Make it more powerful, you should have provided the fiber protection to engine from bottom, to avoid any harm due to water and stones.

 

 

 

great exterior, spacious, ride quality and handlingless power, engine open from bottom

Exterior Nice looking car somewhat similar as elder brother of swift specially for lower segment, as the head lamp is standard but Alpha model looks superb mainly coz of projector head lamps & DRLs. Back look is also owesome. Alloy wheels looks very old & outdated, overall a good package compared to Jazz & Elite i20.

Interior Good & spacious interior except the plastic quality. Leg space & boot space is fantastic, bluetooth works superb, touch screen display also works well. Music system is okay types, not as good as i20.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performs well though I have not driven on highways yet. average fuel economy is 10 - 12 in city running. May get 17 - 18 on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is bit poor mainly due to very hard suspension. I dont understand why maruti has chosen such a hard suspension. Its worst than the swift. They says its a premium hatch back so it must give the comfort & not the jerks.

Breaks makes some weird noise in front wheels if applied suddenly in slow speed or if running at the speed of 70 - 80 kmph. The service centre techinician says its due to ABS which is indigestible. I have driven many hatch back & sedan with ABS facility available but havent faced any such issue.

Final Words Overall a good car as maruti products are easy to drive & maintain.

Areas of improvement SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION & SUSPENSION.

Design, looks, interior, spaceSuspension is very bad & so hard that even a minute bump is giving jerks. Plastic is of poor quality
