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.
