2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno - Is this a Baleno Pro Max? | Review | PowerDrift 

Hey #PDArmy, Comment below what you think about the new Baleno, and hit the Like button if you loved the video. Do also remember to share it with your friends!

My fingers twiched when Cyrus closed the door at 1:00! Just wondering how does he still have all his fingers intact 😂

Basically' it wouldn't collapse if I leaned on it' ! 😂😂😂😂. Now that was subtle....

Mr Cyrus, What is this unique way of door closing at around 1:00 mark? Has the facelift removed the internal door handles???😂

The voice & music levels are much more balanced in this video, thanks a lot please continue this in future videos.

If you are able to live with build quality(even with the upgrades 😅), it is probably the most vfm car on the market considering the features

3:05 If Altroz is beating i20's sales nearly every month how is i20 Baleno's main rival?

3:03 Wait a min, since when does Hyundai give cooled seats in i20? Sunroof yes, but not Ventilated seats.

well, someone stopped my 100th tin can... 😅😅

DRAB! That's the one word I'd use to describe this review. Give this man a Tata Punch, he doesn't seem to enjoy any other car.

6:08 u are kidding right 😝😝

They could have given CVT at least as an option . .. I also read somewhere that they are making it and exporting it with the bigger 1.5 liter engine (yes that will not fall under the 1.2 L tax structure), cant we have that as an option as well?

I have booked alpha model but I'm confused to go with it bcuz i20 get sunroof...bose speakers...ambiant lights...air purifier...so plz help me to which is better to buy...bcuz i20 seems more comfortable and space.

How safe is the base model?

You master at humor filled criticism..very funny.

Just Booked my Luxe Beige Baleno Alpha Manual today...90 days waiting....anyways wish me luck .....my first ever car....but i also love i20....both are fab cars....and right now, the prices between baleno and i20 are almost identical.... infact if you ask me, i20 is more VFM....for same price it is giving you a bigger touchscreen, Bose Sound system compared to Arkamys....a sunroof.....yes Baleno has a 360 cam and a HUD..but I would prefer the feature list of i20.... it's just that where I live the maruti network is much stronger and the workshop and this dealership is next door and also a friend of mine had an i20 elite and she told me her ownership experience was subpar in terms of reliability of the car...so i choose baleno...and also in this Luxe Beige colour, the Baleno just looks top notch..even better than i20 imho.... but of course looks are subjective....I agree with most of your points..I test road both of them for over 10 kms...multiple times....before making a choice...the tractability of baleno's engine is much better than i20...in terms of Naturally Aspirated options...i20 does have better high speed stability and brakes...but in terms of space, i20 is more spacious, sure the boot is a little smaller, but the rear seat space is unmatched, even putting some sub compact SUVs to shame... i20 also has a lot of creature comforts such as wireless charger, air purifier and the list goes on....Baleno does have slightly better seats... it's almost inseparable, like king kong vs godzilla.... anyways both are fantastic cars, anyone will be happy with either...and both are evenly priced as well with good dealer/service network and very acceptable ownership costs...i20 was released in 2019, maybe it is due for a minor update...

Will it be any safer? If no then just more risk to those people who prebook.

CVT wd have made it a King

It looks the team has brought design cues from multiple other cars in the market and putting all of them together giving it a confused look. Instead looking out for cues, they could have brought the cues from the Swift alone. Swift looks a perfect hatch!

Please refrain from tagging the word 'safety' to this car, unless it is officially tested and proven.

You sounded bored to be reviewing the car Mr Cyrus.

Nice presentation! PD Army rocks!

As mentioned their should be a 6 speed (O) manual torque converter, it's drives to smooth.

Would you buy this for your family ? Need an honest answer...

Does it handle bad roads well?

Is it 6 airbags even on the base model??

A close source tells me that MSIL is targeting a 4-star in the ASEAN NCAP.

Why don't they offer turbo charged engine ? Becoz tin can can't handle that speed..

Hi PD… can you guys do a series on the list of vehicles (specifically the ones from 2020 & 21) that have global safety rating.. and also explain pros and cons why is it important for the customer to buy vehicles with global safety ratings … kinda general awareness 😊

The style, the language, yea 👍

Well said. It definitely needs a CVT even if it's a 1 lac more. And please I don't need the gimicky "HUD".

Altroz/i20 and dare I say Polo are much much better than this. This is just a average mass market car, that's it. The other two are also the same mass market car, but atleast they go that extra mile to offer something better and new in the segment and outbest themselves. I think Value to proportion wise Altroz is much better, and if one has some extra cash then go for a i20 or a Polo for that matter. Btw, as always the review was AMAZING, PD Rocks!

can you bench press 100kg?

Didn’t talk about 360 cameras

I can see some tata impact design on front grill

avg is showing 8km/l maruthi claim 22?

You Hate it 😂😂 But show must go on 😂

Good SO GOod! finally rectified few mistakes.. I dont mind the body build as long as aesthetics, interior plastic quality, good dashboards, great steering and fun to drive sutra is met.

Common tin can

Worth comparing it to TATA Punch plz do it guys

@powerdrift bring back painter for the review. The review felt so scripted, it didn't go well.

u said if u lean on it it wont bend bt honestly i dnt believe it whn it comes to maruti

This video would have been better without the ugly colour correction and grading filter

Very 'hey fellow kids' premise. Which is fine i guess considering only old people are buying cars nowadays anyways

Where is Rohan Albal Sir, He make very good videos We like the way he act and speaks, Much appreciated Rohan but also others

only missing sunroof

What about safety 🦺🦺 ??

Liked this cause of "SCARFACE"

This is the perfect car for people who have lost their mojo.. !! 😂

Price place this car

You're spot on Cyrus about the torque converter. I would have suggested this car in a heartbeat to my parents who are currently looking to buy a hatchback but the Maruti's decision to plonk the antiquated AMT spoiled it. A six speed torque converter and a 100 or 110 bhp engine would have made this a killer proposition.

Sorry but I cant control...tincan 😜

What is happening to diesels in India??

It is the embodiment of “meh”

It won’t even come close to 10 year old polo

Superb review guys

15th!

The whole video was shot or maybe footages were selected from the shoot on just one patch of highway within 5-6kms. Old Goa - Panjim Highway. Nice.

Swad nhe aaya review me

❤️❤️❤️ PowerDrift

Because you think it's safe I should put my family's safety in danger being a media personal encourage them for NCAP I waited for it but buying Altroz for obvious reasons . IT'S request you should let manufacturers know that it's more important than gymich .

Don't like to see the review nowadays. Your review is no better than the others......😞😔🙄 Yes or no .........???? 👤👤 people

No wireless charging 👎

The only 0 star 8 lac car in India😂😂 (NCAP)

TINNNNN CANNNN period! Unless they get ncap rating.

A Tin can

Who is this bouncer....

And if it takes up the brawl, it ll get crushed, Even by a Nano. 😂. Paper-boat.

Definitely a tin can for the 101th time

Safety=0

Bhai can you show less attitude and little bit of less accent and more of you raw review rather than following a script i would appreciate that review rather than this . I literally felt sleepy during your this review

90HP in 2022 is just not enough!

Hum first

Too much drama

Baleno's platform recieved 3star from GNCAP it was ASEAN NCAP who gave zero star

😂😁

Sill a tin can!!! Despite your "I think it's still a safe car"... Low on budget get a Altroz else i20, they offer much more for price..

First

still a tin can 🤫

😃💄💄💄

Yeah new trash can folks

Last

*HATCHBACK KING*
