Feature Loaded but Build Quality Doubtful

Value for Money
I chose the Alpha variant for the features - the HUD and 9-inch screen are fantastic! It really feels premium inside. The space is also great for my family of four. The low-end torque is good for the city. Maintenance is typical Maruti low, which is a major pro for ownership cost. However, the body metal feels thin and sometimes I hear plastic rattling on bumpy roads. This keeps me worried about safety.

A 5-star product from Maruti!
I have the new Baleno Alpha AMT. The 360 camera is a blessing. The engine is refined. Combine this with the 6-airbag safety and great mileage, it's an unbeatable car.By: Suraj Bhan (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
My economical highway-star.
I drive 80% on highways. My Baleno petrol manual gives me 22-23 kmpl consistently with AC. The stability at high speed is amazing. It's a small car that acts like a big one on the road.By: Krishan Dalal (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
Good car, but plastic quality...
The car is solid from outside, but the interior plastic quality (lower dashboard) is average. The dashboard scratches easily. Maruti can improve this. Otherwise, the car is perfect. Safety and features are top.By: Surender Deswal (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
Best in class safety.
When I was buying, the salesman showed me the new chassis and 6 airbags. That day I decided. Safety of my family is most important. Baleno Zeta gives that peace of mind. Everything else is a bonus.By: Mohit Ahlawat (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
Good, but AMT is not for hills.
The AMT is okay for flat city roads. But on a small hill or ramp, it struggles. The hill hold is there, but the gearbox gets confused and jerky. Not good for hilly areas.By: Jograj Chahar (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
A fantastic all-rounder.
I've had the Baleno for 2 years. It's a great all-rounder. Good for city, stable on highway, cheap to maintain, and super safe (Zeta). The engine noise is there, but it's not a deal-breaker.By: Satyender Saini (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
HUD is amazing!
The Heads-Up Display in my Alpha is the best feature. I never have to take my eyes off the road. The car is also super safe and has a silent engine. Best family car in this segment.By: Saurabh Nain (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
Compact, comfortable, and safe.
I love how compact the Baleno is. It's so easy to park. The seats are very comfortable for long drives. The suspension absorbs bumps very well. And I feel secure because of the 6 airbags.By: Ankit Malik (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
Solid car, but bad city mileage.
I love the car's solid feel and highway manners. But in Delhi traffic, my petrol manual only gives 12-13 kmpl. It's much lower than my old Swift. This is the only big negative for me.By: Parminder Sheoran (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
A true 'Desh ki car'.
Proud to own an Indian car that has a 6 airbags. The Baleno is well-built, looks modern, and has a comfortable ride. The suspension handles bad roads very well.By: Hemant Jakhar (Nov 14, 2025)Read full Review
