The maruti suzuki baleno looks ample but is neither preety nor stylish.The car looks contemporary but not cute sensible bug not stylish.The higher trim variant do look better as it is having a scattering of extra chrome, 16 alloy wheels much better designed headlamp cluster and LED daytime running lights.
The instrument cluster of Baleno is highlighted in blue, complete with an lit blue arc-like element at the top.The dials are simple but sharp, and in the top trims you get a TFT info-display screen at the centre, this 4.2 screen gives you trip information like distance, time taken, mileage, distance to empty, etc.Carplay just works fine barring a few misinterpreted instructions that you can blame on any indian accent and I did used siri a lot during my drive to call, message and listen to music .
The top trim also gives you keyless entry, reverse camera, push button start stop, dual airbags, ABS, auto headlamps.
The petrol manual starts at Rs 4.99 lakh and the diesel range starts at Rs 6.16 lakh.It was a nice little diwali surprise from the country’s largest carmaker folks.
