Value for Money
The car is decent for city drives, but on the highway at speeds above 100 kmph, the stability is just not there. The car feels too light, and you get a lot of road and wind noise. The engine also feels strained on quick overtakes. Safety is a worry, even with 6 airbags, the build quality is not confidence-inspiring. Needs better high-speed manners.

Excellent Family Hatchback
Spacious cabin and ample boot space for weekend luggage. My parents find it very easy to get in and out of. Rear AC vents make the back seat comfortable even in the summer heat. Build quality seems better than older Maruti cars. Safety rating is a big plus point.By: Suraj Kumar (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Feature-Packed & Economical
Best combination of features and mileage in this segment. The 360-degree camera is a lifesaver in crowded market parking spots. The engine is smooth and silent. I get about 18 kmpl in stop-go traffic. Highly recommend the Zeta or Alpha variant.By: Preeti Rao (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Smooth Engine, Adequate Power
The engine is very smooth and silent, a joy in traffic. Power is sufficient for a family car. The 360-degree camera makes parallel parking very easy.By: Tanvi Shah (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Premium Hatch, Maruti Reliability
I bought the Alpha variant and the features are top-notch. The 9-inch screen is slick, and the Arkamys sound system sounds so good. Safety now improved with 6 airbags and the 4-star rating is reassuring. Mileage is consistently high. The refined K-series engine feels peppy and responsive. My first premium car and I'm totally satisfied. Is Baleno a good car? YES!By: Deepa Patel (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
City Commuter King!
The Baleno is truly the best car for city driving. Mileage is excellent, around 19 kmpl in Pune city traffic, which is amazing for a petrol automatic. The AMT is very smooth, no jerky feeling in slow moving traffic. Maintenance is super affordable, the main reason I chose Maruti. Nexa service is a step up from regular Maruti. The heads-up display and 360-degree camera are game-changers for parking. Big on space for my family of four. Definitely a complete package.By: Rohan Sharma (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Stylish and Easy to Drive
Looks very modern and stylish. The light clutch is perfect for city driving. Only complaint is the plastic quality in the lower half of the cabin could be better for a Nexa car.By: Madhavi Kale (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
My First Car - So Happy!
Easy to drive, easy to park, and looks stylish in red. The Heads-Up Display is a very useful feature. Getting over 20 kmpl on my daily office route. No maintenance issues so far, just done the first service. Maruti's service network gives peace of mind. The car feels solid and modern. Totally worth the price.By: Anjali Singh (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Highway Star with great fuel economy
Drove 1200 km last month and the mileage was a stunning 22.5 kmpl! The car is stable at 100-110 kmph. The steering is light in the city but weighs up okay on the highway. The LED projectors are super bright for night driving. My only small complaint is that the rear seat is a bit tight for three large adults on long trips. Otherwise, a superb family car. Low running cost makes it VFM.By: Vivek Menon (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Solid Mileage Performer
I am getting 21 kmpl on average, which is great. The car is stable up to 100kmph. Above that, you feel the light weight. Excellent for low-cost ownership.By: Inderpal Soni (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
Low Maintenance, High VFM
You buy a Maruti for low service cost and reliability, and Baleno delivers on that perfectly. Getting a 4-star safety rating is a big plus point for the brand.By: Dhruv Singh (Nov 6, 2025)Read full Review
