Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is better baleno zeta cng or swift zxi cng?
  • The Maruti Baleno Zeta CNG is priced at Rs. 8.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and produces a maximum power of 76.43 bhp at 6000 rpm. It comes with a 1197 cc, 4-cylinder engine and delivers an ARAI-claimed mileage of 30.61 km/kg. On the other hand, the Maruti Swift ZXi CNG is priced at Rs. 8.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and generates 68.80 bhp at 5700 rpm. It is also powered by a 1197 cc engine but with a 3-cylinder setup and offers an ARAI-claimed mileage of 32.85 km/kg. Both vehicles offer a good set of features, and the choice between them largely depends on individual preferences such as design, driving experience, and mileage requirements. We would suggest taking a test drive of both vehicles to better understand their performance and comfort. You can click on the provided link to check the nearest dealership in your city to schedule a test drive https://www.zigwheels.com/dealers, or use the comparison link to explore the detailed differences between the two models.https://www.zigwheels.com/compare-cars/maruti-suzuki-baleno-vs-maruti-suzuki-swift
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.
