I own Baleno Alpha 1.2. my experience is too good when it comes to Baleno. we have a group of Baleno owners who goes for a drive every month and spend our time together.
Baleno gives premium feel with the very less pricing compared to any other brands.
if we talk about the features, Maruti Suzuki has given an extra efforts in making this car. the front look of the car looks too good and it gives a smiling gesture which starts from one headlight and end with another. Side look is very sporty with very good design. and back side of the car makes lavish with the integrated chrome spoiler. Boot space is too good and the internally it has very good legrooms.
those who are passionate about their luxury can go for this car. in petrol varient, it has very smooth engine, low noise, normal pickup where the diesel engine has an awesome power like the old Ritz.
But cant neglect the fact that Maruti Suzuki has given the low quality of body built and also the fibers internally. I am sure the body built is low because it would effect the mileage of the car and they have planned something good according to the road and driving techniques of Indian drives. ( as they have given SRSAirbags) . Everyone in the world knows that how Indian people drive their cars. But they should have at least worked something better on internal fibers. I am using this car since 7 months and in last 3 services, I have always pointed out the cabin noise issues. I would suggest people to go for NEXA Authorised Service Centres. Because they take the issue very seriously and also try to resolve it from the depth. Always been satisfied with the service from NEXA.
