Exterior Maruti has a winner here; the 2015 Baleno is perhaps the best looking hatch from Maruti till date. The DRLs make it even more attractive.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) INterior space can be compared with the new Jazz; albeit the all-black interiors make the car feel smaller than it actually is. All controls fall easily in place and you are familiar with the car in the first 2-3 minutes. Also, almost all the models are loaded with features which other cars usually have in their top-end models, which gives a thimbs-up to Maruti.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is the same that is available in the Swift but is tuned for a better performance. The gear-box is smooth and the claimed average is above 20 in real-life driving (and not the ARAI standard driving).
Ride Quality & Handling The ride is smooth in city and it maintains its composure on uneven roads. However, the car feels a bit unstable over 120 kmph, and this requires a cautious driving style esp above 120 kmph.
Final Words Maruti should change the interiors and give a light-brown / beige / grey interior to make the car feel spacious.
