Miles to go to fetch a Premium Tag

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. Wanted to edit my earlier review but Carwale "Edit Review" button doesn't work actually and forced me to share some extra points writing a complete review again. Pros. you all know but here i am only stressing about what the car lacks.

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. Just 02 Air Bags against the industry standard of 06 Air Bags, and that too with the top variant, Alpha model.

13. 5th Wheel is a conventional wheel against an Alloy wheel though you have full set of alloy wheels fitted for running but in emergency, when the tyre punctures, you will be forced to fit the unmatched wheel.

14. 04 speaker system instead of Premium Industry standard of six speakers coupled with tweeters in the front doors or around AC vents. Also, the sound quality is not up to the mark.

15. Fog lamps should have been more powerful, because, once you switch on the projector head lamps, fog lamps become truly useless, could have been LEDs as the bikers use them purchasing from local market.

16. And most importantly, the Missing things :- Engine covers and bottom plate which protects the car's underside from all hazards and in any road condition whether the road is full of muds or stones which can fly off from rotating wheels and hit your car and its equipments from underside.

17. Overall, no such premium feeling whatsoever.
