Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is best choice in between TataAltroz or Maruti Baleno?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. The Tata Altroz fits right into the mix of premium hatchbacks. But because it does not deliver a step-up or wow experience over its rivals, it fails to set a new standard in the segment. The diesel does feel like a versatile unit and delivers a good drive on both highways and in the city. The long feature list is the practicality of the cabin with loads of storage and a good fit and finish. The balance of the Alpha Apc platform too raises the bar on comfort and handling in the segment. And finally, the looks, which definitely set a new standard in the segment. On the other hand, the new Baleno is still a safe and sensible choice. Now with the design changes, feature additions, and improved drive, it has become more desirable too. Some things could have been better though. Maruti Suzuki should have improved the seating comfort, given it a more powerful petrol engine option, and made more significant changes to the exterior to help it look like a brand-new car. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Which is better, Tata Tiago NRG or Maruti Baleno?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. The facelifted Tiago NRG borrows the standard model’s 86PS/113Nm 1.2-liter petrol motor. Facelifted Tata Tiago NRG is packed with features such as a 7-inch touchscreen Harman infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, steering-mounted audio controls, push-button start with keyless entry, manual air conditioning, and power windows. Safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and a rear parking camera. On the other hand, the new Baleno is still a safe and sensible choice. Now with the design changes, feature additions, and improved drive it has become more desirable too. Some things could have been better though. Maruti Suzuki should have improved the seating comfort, given it a more powerful petrol engine option, and made more significant changes to the exterior to help it look like a brand-new car. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Which one is best to buy Baleno or Toyota Glanza?
  • If you are looking for a hatch that ticks a lot of boxes, the Glanza is a great option. There's a decent features list, efficient engine options, and more space than a number of more expensive sedans. So, if your priorities are a spacious cabin, fuel efficiency and decent features, and power performance, you may go for Glanza. On the other hand, The Baleno is a value-for-money family hatchback that’s practical, well-equipped, efficient, and easy to drive. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
