Value for Money vehicle

Exterior The car is quite stylish and has a good road presence. Overall look of the car is quite decent and pleasing. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are a delight in the new Baleno. From instrument cluster to Music System to the rear legroom, everything is par expectations. The boot is quite big too. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quiet and responsive. Fuel economy is excellent under driving conditions in Delhi. It gave me an impressive 17 kmpl (without AC) on my last calculation. Gearbox is probably the best in this segment.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pretty decent, haven't driven the car above 110 yet, so cannot say about very high speeds. Handling is quite good, thanks to the light steering. 

 

Final Words It's a good option if you're looking for a decent car which has all necessary features. The car is fun to drive and you will love to flaunt it because of stylish exteriors. 

 

Areas of improvement Quality of plastics used in the interiors, some of the centre console buttons are really cheap, reflect the cost cutting done in otherwise impressive and stunning interiors. Build quality too, is just average if you compare it with the likes of VW Polo or Hyundai i20.
