If you are looking for a car under 6-7 lakhs then baleno should be in your consideration

First of all, let me clear my self that if you are obsessed with the build quality issue which is constantly been screamed in the market by various reviewers then its not your place to be in. Ok, lets start with the buying experience that it attracts those buyers generally who are upgrading their car or an first buyer. This is because unlike the other contenders it pure value for money as a whole. Why i choose baleno simce my buget is of upto 7 lakhs. The suzuki baleno comes under premium network of nexa hence you will definitely have edge over normal customers of maruti. They will always treat you with Care. So i can say that buying experience is overall good they will properly guide you, will explain you about product, how it has edge over another product, they also give you nexa card and balance in rfid tag with the proper cake ceremony and boke. So i can say buying experience was good as compare to my previous car of hyundai. Now comes riding experience riding in city is just like very easy in city and both highways. But simce it premium hatchback it requires sometimes to slow down in case of bad road or pot holes because of stiff suspension setup. In case of space both head room and leg room. It has class leading space even i20 does not have this rear seat space. It can easily accommodate 3 adults without any problem. Now comes front seat which are comfortable enough having good back support and thighs support. Hence riding experience is good. Looks is matter of subject which may vary from person to person therfore looks should be the personal choice and which is already been shown by sales figures of baleno that whether people like it or not. Now coming to the performance of the baleno it is powered by 1.3 litre k series petrol engine which churns out around 90 bhp and 115 nm torq. These figures might be lower than the immediate rival but in reality baleno is 200 kg's lighter than the rival hence initial acceleration is fast in baleno which you can notice in drive. Therefore performance wise it is good as during the time when i cruise for 100 - 120 with ac on auto it returns 15 - 16 kmpl of mileage which i20 can't even think! Service and maintenance wise it has separate nexa services which has lesser amoutn of cars therefore more priority on quality rather than quantity of vehicles. Also service cost are bearable and aprts are available easily for vehicles therefore no issues regarding services. Main prons of this vehicle are Rear seat space amd boot space Fuel economywith good performance Low service cost Easy availability of parts High resale value Main Cons of this vehicle are Built quality can be better Suspension stiffness Moderate fit & finish Thanks Kartik sharma
