Review after 25000+ km

I own a Baleno Sigma 2024, and I’ve driven it for around 25,000 km so far. The buying and service experience has been smooth and satisfactory. It’s a good family car — the engine feels adequately powered, and I’ve never really felt it lacks performance. That said, there are a few drawbacks. The ground clearance is quite low, and the car scrapes easily on rough roads or big speed breakers. The build quality isn’t very solid either, and the rattling noises from the doors, windows, and dashboard can be irritating. Another major downside is the poor performance of the stock headlights and fog lamps — visibility at night is not confidence-inspiring and definitely needs an upgrade. On the positive side, the boot space is impressive, making it practical for family trips. However, the rear seat comfort could have been much better, especially for long drives. Overall, the Baleno Sigma is a reliable and efficient family hatchback, but it falls short in comfort, refinement, and lighting performance.

Rusting issues and break failure issue

Since 2017 I have been using this car. First I will tell you the positive points 1) riding quality is good 2) comfortable for a long journey 3) pickup is really good 4) average on the highway is around 17-19km/l city: 10-15km/l 3) handling and steering is good Now negative points 1) If engine vibration is too much you will feel the vibration inside the cabin 2) Bad quality of body material, initially I thought rusting issue only I am facing but many users said here too that they also face the same issue 3)if you park your vehicle on the road or inside the building too due to rusting many rats enter into the cabin and damage the wiring and seat covers. You will remain confused from which area of the car they are entering into the cabin 4)not reliable breaks,2 times I faced a break failure issue while riding I observed that my break failed, initially I thought due to rain breaks applied a little late but later I realized they did not work, so it's a really dangerous safety issue 5) cabin material is kind of average material not great Overall it's an Average car, rusting is a big issue and costly to repair even if you repair too, rusting will happen again which overall reduces the car's life and resale value.
