Maruti Suzuki Baleno [2015-2019] User Reviews

Exterior It is fantastic or you can say eye pulling. Front view of this car gives a muscular look and if you check the sides it looks like curvy and crafted and from the back it is simply amazing sporty look. Headlamps with projector lights gives a sharp look. If you make chrome work from NEXA, look of your car will be highly improved. I have made it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are user friendly and useful with the sense of security. I like its apple car play and voice command system. Now answering a important call is easy without any hassle. I also like in the entertainment system that video will not work in running car which is good to avoid accidents. This is called smart sense of security of user.

This car is king if you talk about the space. There is enough space between the front passenger even though they XXXXL in the size. You will find the enough leg space on rear seats so that you can keep your legs in180 degree position. So you can say that you need not to compromise with the comfort in any sense.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good. And the best thing is that this car is excellent in low fuel consumption. Gear is very swift and I liked it.

Ride Quality & Handling:- Ride quality is awesome with large tyres. You will feel very less jerk on odd roads even. Cabin is very silent and you will not hear the engine sounds or unwanted noise from outside.

Final Words It is a complete hatchback with feel of a premium sedan. Outstanding in value for money.

Areas of improvement It shoud have rear vent of AC and rear armrest. It will be more attractive with these two features and there will be no competition in this segment with these features.

Exterior It looks good. Espacially in Alpha model front arrangement looks beatifull with Two Daytime LED and projectore headlamp. Back side is looks beatifull with a center Chrome. Window mirror is UV Rays cut class, which looks good in the Side.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Touch screen System is not available in A/C control, Missing Rear A/C vent, which makes rear passanger uncomfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox My car run around 12000 Km in last 6 months. Engine performance is very good in the City and highway. For pertrol variant in city it give 15KMPL constantly, and in Highway its is giving 17KMPL even you are travelling 100-120KM/Hr due to low kerb weight.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is not excellent but good. Suspention is not up to the mark, which make the ride quality is not excellent. handling of the car is Superb due to Handl steering wheel. in city you can play with your car, even in the Highway too.

Final Words Best and Premium car for a small family.

Areas of improvement Suspention. Stability at Braking.

Exterior Contemporary, unlike earlier Suzuki models launched in the country.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Only black interiors available. Beige or Tan would look better. Light coloured seats absorb less heat while parked outside in hot summer days. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance OK. Though even after driving 500 km, the gear shift knob is a bit stiff. Average 14.5 km/l in city traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. No issues threading thru heavy traffic & congested roads. I have driven ancient Ambassadors, Santro , i20, Honda City and Amaze & owned Maruti 800 , Chevy Aveo UVA and now Baleno. Baleno is as good as it can be with current technology and pricing.

Final Words Good value for money.

Areas of improvement Choice of light coloured interiors, Flat roof at rear. Smoother gear shift knob. Considering our roads, two more inches of ground clearance would be superb, but that's asking a lot for an already heavily in demand car.

Hi, My name is Vinay, bought this car months ago from Nexa showroom, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. after 300 kms the car tyre has busted, I raised a complaint to RKS motors Malakpet, They have sent it to an apolo tyre dealer for review and it got rejected .I am Highly disappointed as this car was bought only months ago and for providing such cheap quality tyres , Now I have to buy a new Tyre as I won't be getting any compensation. Sue you Nexa, you guys don't care about customer satisfaction.

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.
