Maruti Baleno 2015-2022 Performance User Reviews

Baleno delta 1.2 (p), Dec.2015 - performance is as expected of a light car.Picks up speed fairly quickly and does not feel underpowered.I have driven around 94000 odd kilometres and the performance is still good.Over 3000 rpm the engine has a nice sporty note.Engine is still very smooth and quiet at idle.Handling is a notch below the swift but holds well at upto 120kph.The engine is not meant for whipping and will feel strained above 110kph.For highway runs, The sweet spot is 80-105kph.Mileage is fantastic and even with ac i am able to achieve 16-17kpl (tankful method) in the city.Highway mileage is over 21kpl.Build quality is poor, Both inside and outside.Interior trim on doors has started to come off.Picks up dents very easily and though i have done many highway trips, The feeling of safety is elusive on account of the light build.There is some rattling now from the dashboard.My alto from 2009 felt better built.However, None of the electricals have failed at any point of time, Which is a nice surprise.The features are par for the course at the time it was launched.So no complaints there.Everything is still working as it should.The music system is average and gets the job done.It will not please audiophiles.There should have been an engine cover below the engine atleast to protect from flying stones.Although the car was marketed as a premium vehicle through nexa, The quality of plastics belies the same.But it is not something one cannot live with.Ride comfort is average.Suspension, Especially at the back is on the harder side.But ac does a good job.Nvh levels at highway speeds are high due to thin glass panels and thin sheet metal.The space in the car is very good and legroom, Shoulder room at the back is at times better than cars from a category above.Though the boot is not massive, I have found it to be good for a week's worth of luggage out on the road for 3-4 persons.It is very convenient to live with as a city runabout and i find that it strikes a very good balance of space, Practicality, Efficiency and performance.Can handle the occasional highway jaunt.The maruti after sales service is not cheap anymore.However, So far my experience with the service centre has been more than satisfactory and they do pay attention to the car, Even though its over 6 years old now.Best: efficiency, Spaceworst: build quality.

Love the car as it is, awesome performance, comfortable enough, mileage wise also good. Entertainment system is also good. Sitting capacity is also enough, leg space is also gives you a fantastic feeling, only issue is in the suspension is quite stiff you will feel it while you are on a rough road. Car is very steady even you are on 120 speed. Breaking system could have improved a bit. More over style wise means overall look wise you won't feel out dated, it always looks freash..to summarise it, the car is value for your money , you won't get disappointed if you are planning to buy it.

I have owned several cars over the years but baleno is the calmest one.Calm cabin, Calm ride quality and calm performance.That is the problem the performance is calm too a trade off for good mileage! everything else is good for the price you pay.If you are in the market for a good hatchback baleno is a great choice.If you want a performer though try the polo tsi.

It is a pleasure to drive on the highways, Not so i'm city traffic.Engine is a performer.In cabin noise is close to deafening.Build quality is a disaster, The steering doesn't return back to normal position after a you turn.Mileage is the best, With ac on in city traffic of mumbai, Never gave me less than 15/km.Aesthetics are too good.

Zero satisfaction very poor performance j**k is very higher mileage is poor very bad experience.Speechless.

I am driving baleno zeta from last 3 years and i satisfied with this car.Pickup is low in ist 2 gears but from 3 rd gear it can go like a bullet.Mileage of this car is 18 to 22 depending on how you drive.Overall performance is best.Service cost is medium.Built quality is not too much good as like other maruti cars.
