Pros and cons

What we like

  • Most spacious hatch cabin
  • HUD on top trims
  • CNG option
  • Low service cost
  • Factory-fitted CNG keeps running cost under ₹3/km

What could be better

  • AMT gearbox feels jerky when pushed hard
  • Top variants get pricey once you add accessories
  • Waiting period on popular Baleno variants can stretch past a month

Verdict

Buy the Maruti Suzuki Baleno if you value refinement, efficiency and low running cost over sheer road presence. At ₹6.70 lakh onwards it sits at the value end of the hatchback class, and the Delta AMT is the variant we would sign for.
