Most Helpful Review

4 Cylinder best

Very bad Maruti Suzuki.Maruti ko 4 Cylinder hi rakhna chaiye tha kio ki maruti k pass 3 Cylinder mai shift pahle se hai fir Baleno ko 3 Cylinder ki kiya jarurat thi.Not good work, Maruti

Eye catching vehicle

I think everything is fine except for the electronic parking brake and auto hold options. The ground clearance for the diesel automatic is missing, and there are issues with the after-sales service, interior quality, reverse camera quality, and horn.
