Maruti Suzuki Baleno [2015-2019] User Reviews

Exterior: Bought premium silver alpha petol on 1st Nov. without any booking... wow...its similar to costly cars like audi n bmw etc.. new color.. DRL'S, projector headlamps, stunning looks...best in segment

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): best space in category. in i20 we felt claustrophobic (poor design). premium seats, 7 inch nav system, all stylish features..best in segment..no cost cutting like they did in JAZZ

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: as its 100 kg less..  engine pickup is much better than jazz, swift and i20 petrol. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling: 195 alloy tyres.. hold road much better than jazz n i20..jazz tyres are much smaller, as if you are driving a bajaj scooter.

 

Final Words IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY A HATCHBACK...JUST GO FOR IT...DONT WASTE MONEY ON JAZZ OR I20... NO COMPARISON. MARUTI IS MARUTI.. IF U DONT BELIEVE ME JUST VISIT NEARBY NEXA..

 

Areas of improvement: Wipers are simple like all maruti cars. need improvement  

 

 

Best style, Much better than jazz and i20, eye turner, comfortable, big boot, engine is goodSimple wipers

Is there anyone else facing Bluetooth connectivity issue with Music System fitted in #Baleno Delta 1.2?

I am driving #Baleno Delta 1.2 for almost 2 years and now suddenly, i observed that there is Bluetooth connectivity issue especially when I am trying to connect another mobile (already paired). Since 4 months, I am following up with #Maruti and #NIPPO (Music System OEM).

Today, I got a call from technical team from Delhi HO of Nippo and told me that second device connectivity will always be a problematic. reason being.

1. As per Indian Safety Standards, the mobile which is paired and connected with Music System will work seamlessly and without any Bluetooth connectivity issues.

2. When the car is in running condition, then second mobile can not be connected (although paired already and after disconnecting the first mobile), because in running condition, Bluetooth Adapter is disabled(as per safety standards). So to connect it, I have to bring car to a halt, have to turn off the ignition and then connect the second mobile. So much for connecting second mobile!!! PHEW.

I called up Maruti Technical team at Factory Level and they also confirm this.

Request you to please let me know if such safety standard exists or it was an attempt to hide design flaw.

Design, ComfortMusic System

Exterior

 Looks avg from front, inspiring from rear and awsome from side.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Guys I'm not reviewing the car here, just venting out some frustation here as i can't do the same on nexaexperience site (no options provided there)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 same as Swift, Its a Maruti! (i.e. good), Its a Maruti! (you can expect some glitch, very rare though)

Ride Quality & Handling

 New frame should feel more rigid. Its a Maruti!

Final Words

 Its a Maruti!

Areas of improvement  

 This is why i wrote the review. MSIL has to pull up its socks and deliver. Not having production capacity even after 6 six months will not be a justification understood by layman like me. Everyone plans for a best-case/worst-case scenarios. Had'nt you planned for this. AND you insist on exporting it from this lot too.

I wanted to buy one but i'm going for i20 instead, not because I wanted to, but YOU made me do this.

EVERYTHING IS AWSOME ON PAPERSIX MONTHS WAITING!!! (Not judging the car here)

Exterior

Best in class. Head turner on road. Every one looks at my car when I am on driving on road. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors gives a feeling of big segment car. Nothing left to be added. Now maruti has introuce a car with international styling

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Already driven about 900 kms in city. Giving a mileage of 20+ with ac in city. Satisfied with the performance. Engine is a littile bit noisy but the same can be overlloked in view of other features of the car. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Best

Final Words

Purchased on 4/11/2015. Will easily sidline its other competitiors in the segment. Proud to be owner of Baleno diesel Alpha. People on street used to turn down my window and ask about the performance of the car and my only answer is 'BEST'.

Areas of improvement  

 nothing left for improvement except little bit of engine noise but the same can be overlooked by seeing the overall features and performance. 

 

Fully loaded in comparison to other options. will beat other cars of this segment. Best carNothing in it to give negative comments. As a user since 4/11/2015

Exterior Simply superb. Catches the eyeball of everyone. I had an experience wherein people are chasing my car giving a nice look. love that expression.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spaciaoussss. Dont know how they generated so much of space. superb.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Yet to experice. Fuel economy need to be tested as driving in city traffic sucks.

Ride Quality & Handling Pleasure driving. It gives a feeling of dzire from inside.

Final Words At 6L on road, an SUV look, rich exterior, it is value for money.  fuel economy is good coz of lighter vehchile.  could be pros n cons but an extra ordiniary exteriors, rich looks & a maruti vehchile which is known for its good & economy service cost.

S-Cross is good but it has priced bit higher. same model & looks if u get at lower cost, why not. it is worth it. Overwhelming

Just go for it.

Areas of improvement NA.

Exterior style, value of moneyyyyyyyyy, fuel economynone as of now

Exterior

 Good Exterior, 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I bought Diesel Top Model, there is not CD Player, GPS Navigator is not that good as compared to Garmin available to market. 

 This car has by far the most features in any camparable segment. Add to it the premimum looking dashboard theme, one of the best odometer displayes around, best in class space, most comfortable seats, entertainment system (in top and mid variants) and there is no doubt it is the class leader in permium hatchback segment

Avg,, comfortBody quality, rear suspension

Exterior

Exterior is really really good. Presence on the road is felt easily. Rear side is best designed giving a bit coupe look. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Seats are quite comfortable. 

Instrument panel is great giving lot of useful informations.

Bluetooth connectivity is good.

Spacious .

Plastic Quality is not great.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Performance is overall good. 

Fuel economy is 20 kmpl before first service which should increase after. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is literally good I tried it in bad roads and it gave proper contol as well. At high speed feels like not planted but overall good handling.

Final Words

So overall it is good car, for the price range of 9 lacs it's the best option.

Some areas need improvement like plastic Quality,  thigh support etc.

Areas of improvement  

Plastic which is used in cabin is of low quality so plastic Quality should be improved. 

Thigh support of rear seats is not good, so it feels uncomfortable during long journey.

Ac vents for rear side.

 

 

performance, innovative tft display, spacecabin is a bit noisy, problem faced while taking back(rear camera installation will do a trick)

Exterior As every owner mentioned Baleno has immense looks and stylet- till it hits a small Dog or rub against a two wheeler on road. Its body the so inflated phenomina of TECT body from suzuki is so thin and delicate like a onion sheath, and gets very badly damaged as soon as hits a dog on road even and sad to say you cann not adjust/repair any partof its body needs immeadiate replace to attain that stunning head turner look again. Yes you have insurance n will get it done free of cost but is that you wanted when buying so called premium segment car?

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is awesome, nice space but not much features in Xeta 1.2. enjoying the use of true keyless entry steering mounted controls and car audio. it would have been better if it corporated the scrolling and calling facility of phone book from steering itself.

The dash board not at all giving any feel of a premium car but the qulity remembering you that of M800. A rear AC window could have been provided as it was not a luxuary but necessity for such a big car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is superb espesially in highway and city overtakingit gives you much confidence to do it with out shifting gear down.fuel eco in my experience it gives max at 5th gear and 80+ speed Ihad attained 21 Kmpl in my long drives, but city gives me less 16 due to gear shifts probably. Gear shift is nice but little difficult to fall in to the reverse gear sometimes.

Ride Quality & Handling Nice driving and superior handling needs only one hand in wheel even at top speed.

Final Words Hesitent to recoment to someone due to its poor body quality, you need to visit a service station even for small rub and hits. It may have passed the crash test and you may save the  life of your dear ones even in major accidents also but durability and value for money is also a matter to concern.

Areas of improvement Quality of built, more sturdy body and little more efficient brakes.

looks, drivabilitybody quality, brakes

Exterior Baleno is outstanding in exterior. Perfect finishing. Fog lamps, sensons, everything is good about it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable, esp. for the rear part. Boot space is ample. The seats are comfortable and the car is spacious inside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Mileage 27.

Final Words What to say about Baleno? Its one of a kind. It has all what a person thinks in Car. Very comfortable, esp. for the rear part. Boot space is ample. The seats are comfortable and the car is spacious inside.

The only problem and one of the major issue I had in the pickup. I tried driving both Petrol and Diesel but the pickup drops. It happens in CNG cars.

The cars is best made in terms of interior and exterior. The color in silver gives it a royal look. Perfect hatchback. Best mileage. Was ready to buy Baleno but yes now will wait for further reviews on it.
