I love my hatchback beautiful car Osm milege osm pickup osm space Sexy loook Love 16inch tyres Beautiful premium rayblue colour All feautred are superb Keyless entry Cool chrome Mind blowing drl Beautiful car Nexa Services is soo good My baleno is my dream car Osm white projector headlamps Love u baleno

At first when I saw Baleno, I felt excited. I asked for the test drive. After that I booked Baleno BSVI. The way they delivered the car was awesome. They celebrated that moment by cake-cutting. And the staff was friendly and I felt them as my family members because the way they mingled was like that. The buying experience was super. The riding feeling was awesome and soundless. I felt like I am in heaven. The car looks were "like a boss." The engine capacity is 1200cc. The performance was elegance. The first 3 services are for free. Maintainance cost is low. My Baleno car colour is Nexa Blue. Pros of Baleno is good mileage, good space and comfort levels are high. Cons of Baleno is steering level is low. But I love Baleno.

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

It's complete package of satisfaction. Every time I love to raide.... Good average zero Maitanenc n good service. If u compare with any car in this segment u always happy to chose this dream fashionable stylish caaaar... I love it.

Exterior Excellent design, head turner on road great road presence, with projector headlamps and DRL, nice design theme.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good, interior plastics could have been better. but overall its powerpacked with features, 7 inch infortainment, reverse camera, climate control

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Low engine noise, good pick up, best in class mileage, gear box is crispy, and smooth, its such a drivers delight.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and handling in triple digit speeds. feels very stable and planted in high speeds irrespective of ots low cabin weight. its such a drivers delight.

Final Words An awsome package, value for money car in the petrol premium hatch segment. excellent package with features, value for money. Great road presence with styling. say no rumours , it has no suspension problems. Its the safest car, gud car for a middle class family with premium features and quality. no wonder why it crossed 1lakhs sales in just  10months with proud owners, people are ready to wait for it for even upto 6mnths, its shows how much good this car is. please dont lend your ears to rumours.

Areas of improvement Dash board quality could be improved.

Styling ,fuel economy, ride quality, high speed stability, cabin space, features. value resale valueinterior plastics can be improved

The exterior looks great but very poor quality plastic makes it a viable for many damages especially the front bumper.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior features, space and comfort are excellent but the glasses are of poor quality and reflecting when we drive in day light. The plastic quality even in the interior is also very poor.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is excellent but after the service, it has gone bad. Gear shift and fuel economy are excellent when we bought but after service it has become bad. After 3rd service the fuel economy has improved.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good but some times feels right shoulder pain in long drives due to poor arm rest.

Final Words Eelgant and excellent. Overall we feel owning like a big caaaaar. We always feel nice while driving the car.

Areas of improvement Plastic quality, service quality and viewability. The plastic quality I can say is worst ever I have seen.  The arm rest for drive should need immediate improvement.

Engine performance, good interior space,Bad service, poor plastic quality and noise when we drive in highways

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

Exterior Styling is bold and classy. I feel it looks and feel like Merc A Class. Projector lamps give a distinct look to the car. The Rear look is good with chrome bar. DRLs gives a great look to the otherwise safe design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is more in front and back seat. You can accommodate 4 at rear seat with light sqeeze for short distances. Boot space is also very good. Front foot well lights, and speedometer light settings are awesome. Confort features and storage space is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is punchy and powerfull. Pickup of the vehicle is good. Fuel economy is good as well.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth. So far have not taken the rear seat while driving.  But it is good from front seat. Handling is also good.

Final Words Great value for money car with wonderful features.

Areas of improvement Updates for touchscreen should be user installable. Mine came without android auto, but service center says i have to wait dince update to each cars take 3hrs to update.

Style, Space, Safety, FeaturesNone

Exterior Stunning looks, Looks sexy with those Projector Headlamps, DRLS and LED break lamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Alpha comes loaded with all the bells and whistles. one of the main feature to be highligted is the UV cut glasses which doesnot allow the cabin to get heated in day times. other features are reverse parking camera, GPS, Android auto apple car play, auto ac, MID etc etc. Cabin is very spacious 3 ppl can sit comfortably at the rear, stearing is tilt and telescopic adjutable, Day night IRVM, Auto foldable ORVM etc etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth and refined engine, very silent.. engine noise cannot be heard inside the engine. Gear shifts are easy. 15 to 16kmpl can be taken easily in city roads.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good, when v run over bad roads and pot holes it can be felt inside the cabin and it is not bumpy as others say, it is not butter smooth also.. Bt it is not a drawback, baleno is designed in that way for better handling.

Final Words I feel that Alpha is a value for money pkg.

Areas of improvement Interior Plastic Quality, Redesigned Alloy Wheels.

Very peppy, responsive and refined engine. Spacious Interior.. Awesome looks(An eye Turner actually)Interior Plastic quality is very bad, gets stretches easily
