Q. Which car is better between Hyundai i20 and Maruti baleno for mileage, maintenance and pickup?

Elite i20 is a good car, very good comfort level, good build quality materials used inside & outside of car but need to compromise with mileage of petrol i20. One thing is sure once you enter inside ofcar& drive it, you feel premium car like Audi driving experience. Performance wise car takes times to get pick up in 2nd gear, It easily go 60 - 100 km without any extra efforts very smoothly. Need to say if you are looking for premium class with good comfort can go blindly with i20 but mileage wise slightly slow compare to any Maruti vehicles... What else to say further.... As i have Elite i 20 Asta O Petrol 2017 model and driving busy Bangalore city traffic gets around 12 -13 km in city & highway around 17 - 18 km depends on driving pattern. You can easily get around 17 km with smooth driving on highway & 12 km in city with full time Ac. Even i gets same till now. Maintenance come around 4- 5 thousands with service interval around 10000 km...

As per the requirement, Maruti Baleno could be a better option among the two as the premium hatchback offers a perfect balance of performance and quality. Maruti Baleno is available with three engine options - a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated engine, 1.2-litre Dualjet petrol engine with mild-hybrid system and a 1.3-litre turbocharged diesel engine and the fuel efficiency (claimed) for the three stands at 21.4kmpl, 23.87kmpl, and 27.39kmpl, respectively. Also, being a Maruti, the Baleno requires lesser maintenance costs incurred. Moreover, we'd recommend taking a test drive of the car for a better insight into the performance and comfort.
