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.

Monster look value for money
A perfect highway cruiser with great features that really make it stand out on the road. It offers excellent value for money in the hatchback segment.Read full Review
Mileage is The USP
I bought the car purely for the mileage, and I'm not disappointed. Consistently getting 20+ kmpl on highways. The car is very light and feels zippy. The paint quality is good. It's an excellent value-for-money proposition.Read full Review
Satisfied but Wished for More
The car has a good feature list and the engine is very refined. However, the suspension is too soft and the car dips heavily on bad patches. Also, the build quality could definitely be improved for better long-term durability.Read full Review
Good, But Not the Best
It's a decent city car. The engine is smooth but the AMT jerkiness is still present sometimes. Cabin noise is noticeable at high speeds. The doors feel lightweight, which is a big concern for me regarding safety. Average car for the price.Read full Review
Low-cost Ownership
The low maintenance cost of Maruti cars is a major selling point. Baleno is super easy on the pocket. Mileage is a big plus. Features are decent for the Delta variant. Safety is not a 5-star build, but 6 airbags help.Read full Review
Too Soft Suspension, Worrisome Safety
The soft suspension makes the car roll a lot in corners. The body-roll is very distracting. The lack of a high safety rating is a constant worry. Mileage is the only true Maruti benefit here. Service is cheap.Read full Review
A Step Up in Design
The new design language is a huge improvement over the older Baleno. Looks much more aggressive. The cabin is well-appointed. The engine is efficient. The only thing I find average is the highway stability above 100 kmph.Read full Review
Great for First Time Buyer
I bought this as my first car, and it's fantastic. Low running cost, easy to get service, and all the modern features I need. The AMT makes city driving effortless. I highly recommend it to anyone buying their first car.Read full Review
Fantastic Mileage, Small Issues
Mileage is the best part, giving me 20 kmpl daily. Comfort is good, but the rear headrests are a bit too small. Braking could be better, needs more bite. Overall, a great car for its price.Read full Review
Low End Torque is Good
The engine has very good low-end torque, which means less gear shifting in city traffic. Mileage is exceptional. Seating comfort is good. I just wish the fit and finish on some plastic parts were better, they feel a bit flimsy.Read full Review
