Maruti Suzuki Baleno [2015-2019] User Reviews

i drove Baleno delta 1.2 petrol from my native to chennai in the highway(450Km). after 300 KM i feel little unbalace while driving. then found out its because the tyre presser got increased from 30 to 36 (Note : i drove in the morning, so due to heat and 100 Km/h fast it might happend) so the stearing weel was not stable.

the car can't be controlled once you crossed 120 Km/h. there was a vibration in the streaing and the back sheet.

the back sheet is not at all comfertable for the passangers. head rest is not sutable.

i saw some wire cover got melted under fromt bonet due to engine heat.

Stearing will not come back to center if the the tyre presser is less then 30.

engine is not covered in the bottom. for tall drivers the center mirror will block the side view in the left turn.

does not feel like i bought a car that i wanted 😦

 

good fual economyunbalaced after 110 Km/h / Wiring Problem in the under bonet / Stearing will not come back to center

Exterior

 Excellent , every one talkes about good look of my car, The rear look is very good , rear LED lights specially improve the look of car. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 interior boot  space is very good, rear sit not comfortable , if possible plz improve, when we drive car in rough road , there is jumping of rear passanger , and hight of rear roof is less , highted person is not comfortably sitting on rear sit.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 good, i am geeting 20 km/lit. fuel economy after first servicing. i hope it will again increase after 2 nd and 3 rd servicing.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Plz drive car with maximum 100 km speed , because of light weight of baleno - instant breaking is dengerous in rough road. when i compaired with swift or dzire handeling is poor while breaking.

Final Words

 Nice car for middle class persons

Areas of improvement  

 rear sit comfort, 

 

Spacious in hatchback segmentrear sit not comfortable

Exterior Very good exteriors, curve design especially rear end looks very dashing. Front is also very catchy. Width of the car is very good, even bigger than Honda W-RV.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice and premium interiors, Maruti has given away every possible feature with the car. It comes with Electrically adjustable and retractable ORVMs, Steering mounted controls, 2DIN music player with Bluetooth, Reverse parking sensors,  for a 3rd varient out of 4 varients.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have Delta 1.2 petrol varient and i get 15-16.5 kmpl within the city with heavy traffic conditions. I stay in Pune near Amanora mall, and the traffic throughout the day in nearby vicinity is very heavy. Barely get to shift on 5th gear. On highways, I have got as good as 19-21 kmpl of mileage.

Engine is very silent and doesnt give you a feeling that you are driving a Maruti vehicle. Gearbox is also very light.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is top class, there was an issue with rear suspension, but Maruti has replaced the suspensions for specific batch of cars and mine was one of them. It is better than earlier now.

Handling below 120kmph is very good, but the steering becomes very light the moment you rem more than 120kmph. Otherwise the car is very good to drive.

Final Words I am very happy with the car. taking it on long drives. I will definitely recommend the car if you are looking for a premium hatchback.

Areas of improvement Maruti service can be bettered as they are using same old Maruti service centers. I have heard that they are going to start Nexa service centers soon, and will wait to see if there is any special treatment to Nexa car owners.

Drive comfort, silent enine, MileageLooses grip over 120kmph

Exterior of the car is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) are  more comfortable & specious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox is not too good. Gear shifting is not smooth ans some metallic sound appears while driving.

Ride Quality & Handling is fairly good. This car has a metallic sound & this cannot be resolved by workshop after two visit.

Areas of improvement Gear shifting and breaking system should be improved. Overall this car is made only for the value. This car is a light weight car so that it looses its control at high speed . One can not drive this car at 100km/l. But ovarall this car is good. This car also gives excessive heat from engine. Suspension of this car is also not very comfortable. This car vibrates even on a small roughed surface.the body weight of this car is also less. The material of door of this car is also very poor quality.

its look & mileagevibration and metallic sound

Exterior Looks are stunning looks like a huge bull in a hatch segment.

Interior cabin space is very good. instrumentation looks awesome, a/c cools the cabin very quick, dash looks good , good cabin lights and seats are also black in colour. steering wheel is lighter and has controls over it so it will be very easy to control the music system and also for attending the calls.

Engine Performance is good no sound from the engine and very good pickup, Fuel Economy  is 11.5 kmpl as my car is brand new driven 200kms till date and Gearbox is also smooth need to test the fuel efficiency after the first service.

Ride Quality & Handling is also smooth but only the rear stiff suspension is a lag for the car as maruti has done weight reduction this issue is happening. rest of the car is excellent.

Final Words Best car in the segment: looks, mileage, handling, braking, cabin space etc.

Areas of improvement Rear suspension.

Mileage, comfort, long drivable effortless driving.Rear suspension

Exterior: The exterior design makes it a beauty in its segment the only con is conventional headlamps in this version which does not suit the overall design of the car. In the sub 4m segment maruti has used the full length and its really wide, makes it very confortable for 5. The build quality is not very good the metal sheet is light weight, they probably kept it low to increase the fuel efficiency.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Interior looks perimum when you gaze at it but when you use it, you actually come to know the plastic used is not of high standard. The console looks really awesome with all the details. The leg space is huge which makes the ride very comfortable and its huge boot space gives you a relaxation of not loading your cabin with the luggage as is the case with other cars like i20 Elite for instance. Air Conitioned is Automatic with climate control, the only con here is that they dint provide a rear AC vent for such a huge Cabin but still it does not take much time to make it confortable at the rear also. The basic music system without touch screen display with inbuilt bluetooth connectivity is good and can play various file formats but speakers could have been with better output.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine performance is fine, though company claims the Max Power euqual to Swift but it still lacks pick up.  Fuel economy at present, after driving the car for 4000 Kms, is not upto the mark as company claims. It gives a mileage of 16 Kms on highway and 12 kms in the city. Hope it will increase gradually. Gearbox is smooth, much better than Toyota Liva, Swift and i20. The manual shift with gear indicator makes you feel as if you are not driving the car in right manner as it says Gear 1 for a speed of 20Kms/h . But overall the engine and gearbox is above average.

Ride Quality & Handling: Handling of Car is nice, it does not wobble while taking sharp turns at higher speeds. You feel a better control of the car at a speed of 110-120. Ride quality is good, while driving you feel that it sticks to the ground and does not appear to leave the road while accelerating. Pickup is an issue for sure, hope it will become better as clamied by the service engineer. Braking does not appear to be very effective with ABS and EBD given but definitely better than Swift.

Final Words: The car in this price Range is value for money which gives you a feeling of premium car owner for sure with premium customer service at Nexa Showrooms but there are some areas of improvement. Hope company will pay attention to those as well.

Areas of improvement: Suspension can be made better, Rear AC vent, Pickup and mileage are issue for sure. Braking can also be improved.

Nice Exterior & interior Design, Huge Cabin Space, Boot Space, EnginePoor Suspension, Poor fuel economy, Poor build quality

Delta Petrol 1.2, driven around 20K kms over 2 years.

Exterior Elegant and way more better looking than competition. Purchased Ray Blue Baleno and still loving it even after 2 years. Looks even more classy with LED DRLs (not in delta variant though).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Plenty of space, nice and comfortable cabin, sound system not as good as Tata tiago but its good enough. Features are good enough and value for money.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good but not great, visible difference in power when using AC, Fuel economy is great. Getting around 22KMPL with AC on highways and around 17KMPL in city consistently till now.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is superb, lower turning radius is extremely helpful however ride quality could be improved a bit or i guess has already been improved in newer models.

Final Words Great Car, More than value for money.

Areas of improvement Ride Quality can be better. Everything else is exceptional value for money.

Space, Fuel economy, ComfortPower

I have baught delta petrol last mounth and it has a very poor milage just half what is told to me time of buying car. And i have tested milage on both side highway and city as well . And i it comes to pick up it is also poor i m maintaing swift from last couple of years . Balino has only one batter thing than swift that is style

Exterior Not as good looking as exclaimed by the company

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The features are awesome in this price range but seating is bit less comfartable for long journeys,leg space and boot space are excellent suspension is a bit stiff on bad roads which kills the joy of riding.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine pickup is good as well as the fuel economy but a little bit more power would have made things interesting.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good on good roads but the suspension is a bit stiff on bad roads on highways it works like a charm

Final Words A good car considering the price tag.

Areas of improvement The suspension needs to be worked on as well as the infotainment system needs to be improved plus the seats need to be modified to make it comfortable for long journeys. The vitara breeza petrol version if launched is going to give big competition to this car.
