My brother bought Baleno 2022 Zeta (Manual), and i confirm that the car is giving 17+ kmpl in Delhi traffic. We made a short trip to Vrindavan from Delhi, and it gave us 25+ kmpl on the highway. The car is phenomenal. I'm even planning to buy this car this year. I'm gonna buy the Alpha AMT version.
Hi Bro, Thanks for the update. I have even booked Baleno AMT, I took a test drive, it was very comfortable, I agree about the lag in performance. But I needed a hatchback for my wife. And it suits it very well. I also heard, for AMT the mileage is above 20 + KMPL. It also has 6 airbags, quite good and appreciable when it comes to safety.
I bought Baleno Alpha AMT in March 2023 in Rs.12 lacs (including accessories, RTO charges, road tax, insurance) . I have driven it 2600 kms so far. My monthly running is around 1000 kms (70% highway & 30% city). Here's what I found - PROS - 1) Spacious cabin with ample legroom for rear occupants 2) Sufficient boot space with hydraulic tailgate 3) Auto dimming IRVM 4) Excellent headlights CONS - 1) I regret buying AMT because it gives mileage of 18 to 20 kmpl. I have checked tank to tank mileage many times. I drive with lightfoot and never cross 80 kmph speed. Still it is giving so less mileage as compared to manual version. One of my friend has Baleno manual version & it gives him mileage of 23 to 24 kmpl. 2) No youtuber will tell you this but the rear part of Baleno (near rear grab handles) is bulkier. So when I try to do reverse parking, it creates a blind spot in ORVMs and hampers judgement. 3) IRVM and infotainment screen are so close that it creates a big blind spot on windshield. 4) Manual car gives you confidence that you can control car even at high speeds. But that is not case with AMT. 5) Front seats have good lower back support but equally bad mid back support. 6) Auto start stop system is very irritating. Though Maruti claims that engine will stop 15 seconds after pressing the brakes, in reality engine stops after 3 seconds or 5 seconds.
Very helpful review. Thanks! Are the gear shifts jerky? Also, how is the performance when starting from stand still on inclines with a heavy load? In other words, does it have a meaningful hill hold function? Thanks in advance!
Mujhe personally lagta hai india ke liye amt jiyada sahi hai kyuki aab traffic cities mai itni baad gayi hai manual mai tho leg workout ho jata hai , baaki thoda khula area ho like City se bahar hai usmai manual is very good , baaki aab mileage jo hai aab almost same hi ho gayi hai 5% se bhi kum faraq ho gaya hai aab mileage mai amt and manual mai.
Good to see MSIL adding 6 airbags and ESP but CVT to AMT is a downgrade I feel. Yeah prices are down for auto but still. Now Tata Altroz is launching DCT in Automatic
Bhai , aise agar dekhne jao tho jiyada faraq nahi padta kyuki city mai waise hi bhaga nahi sakte lekin highway pe manual pe 5 gear mai hi rahegi tho CVT and amt koi faraq nahi rehe jata , CVT and amt mai itni kum faraq rehe Gaya hai ke difference mileage mai batana itni kum hai ke pata hi nahi chalta ,
@@xavierazad traffic ki baat rahi side mai , most of affordable cars mai milega ke karan power hi nahi hoti , i20 ki 1.5 liter engine mai sirf 75 bhp , agar koi German car hoti Europe mai tho 1.5 liter Aram se 150 se 180 bhp ki power produce kar raha hota . And there are alot of cars in Europe with smaller engine but alot more powerfull
Agree, i went to buy baleno... but amt baleno good model is starting from 10.25 lac... I would prefer the i20 or altroz for that price as they have cvt or dca.. Baleno made a wrong move by removing the cvt technique and add amt only
@kamalsharma-dw6yg in the last baleno, sales was very less for cvt so maruti switched to ags. It's a sensible move also saves cost and this ags is much improved from earlier ags.
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...
Not only in Amt, but even they also tune Fiat multijet engine better than everyone, better than Fiat itself. After all they are Japanese engineer's so what more you can expect.
Yeah actually cars give way more mileage than reviewers claim. I don't know why maybe bcuz they want to keep a safe bet. Xuv300 everyone said turbo petrol so 16 on highways is good. But I get 18 on avg. 19 if below 2k rpm for a few kms
Waah! Akhir kaar maruti ne build quality or safety mein improvement dikha diya. I hope ab jo bhi new maruti ki car aaye vo bhi aise hi improvement mein aye. Brilliant job Maruti Suzuki👏👏👏
@@maansahaabcanada : Bhai…kya hi senseless baat karte ho? Sabse Pehley tum Accident ka definition pad lo. Accident woh incidence hota hai jo achaanak se hota hai. Kisi ko shauk nahi hota hai jaan-boojh kar accident karne ki. Doosri baat, accident sirf khud ki galti se nahi hota. Delhi ka BMW case nahi padha kya? Usne jis gaadi ko high speed se takkar maari, usme baithe logo ko injury bhi aayi aur Ek ki jaan bhi chali gyi. BMW m baithe bande ko ghanta Ek kharaunch aayi. Poori tarah se airbag Aur other safety features se bach Gaya. Tto bhai…rickshaw m baitha insaan bhi safe nahi hota agar uska rickshaw safe nahi hai. Food for thought!!
NCAP is not a marketing gimmick, its real, when anybody driving on road just have a look on any Baleno, it will surely have dent. Despite driving with utmost safety if in traffic any object touches your baleno you will have nice dent on Baleno. Everything else is good on car except built quality. MSIL BIW team, adding few body reinforcement concept you can make it very good car pl work on it. Its heart breaking when scooty also dent your car.
Good review actually but looks like companies still have to understand the customer's actual need in product, some of the very basic features they would have considered in this segment as well but somehow they failed or ignored....not very fascinating to be honest. Gagan you rightly pointed out about TPMS and Sunroof, this would have surely created an impact on its sale and also the front look if they could have changed this time. I still miss Ford Ecosport Sport version (Best and feature rich car)
Tpms is useless. If you are even average driver you can feel your tyre pressure. Just check your pressure every alternate week.. sunroof wont be possible since they would have to redesign the whole chassis.
@@msharma18377 but company has made this car in 70% of reviewers feedback so for most of the people these are not seriously needed one thing I need from Suzuki is that they have to upgrade thier audio system so that no need to upgrade aftermarket
I don't think these are must ones... They are good to have features only... The quality and the practicality that Suzuki provides seeing the Indian road conditions and the pocket size of Indian buyers, Suzuki is giving you everything that makes sense. Adding a sunroof would increase the cost by 35-40k and obviously reduce the safety, TPMS is most of the time inaccurate so no point of keeping that and if the pressure is seriously low, you would come to know by car wobbling.
जब कार यात्रा के दौरान बीच में रुकती है तो आपको इंजन गियर क्लच और ब्रेक जैसे मुख्य भाग में टिकाऊ यानी उच्च निर्माण गुणवत्ता का एहसास होगा। बॉडी, डैश बोर्ड, बॉडी लुक शायद ही मायने रखता हो। यूरोप में मेरे पास रेनॉल्ट कार है लेकिन अब टोयोटा जैसी अत्यधिक टिकाऊ कार खरीदने की योजना है। भारत में मारुति सुजुकी सबसे अच्छी व्यावहारिक कार है।
Actually if they had done any significant improvement in the safety of this car; they would have already sent it for crash test to clean their image. They also know how bad their image is when we talk about crashes.
The top model and the 2nd top (zeta) did receive a software update which enabled wireless android auto and can show turns on the instrument cluster, you can update the software via a usb or through their app.
BEWARE!!! Most of the XUV7OO AX7L AWD(all wheel drive) are getting the problem of wobbling and vibrating at a speed between 55 kms to 70 kms and we too are facing the same problem from very next day of delivery and my car is in service center only from that day | till now mahindra has no solution to rectify it.
Can not understand why reviewers keep on repeating you are going to miss the smooth bs. As if we all have grown driving baleno CVT from school days . It is going to be the 1st automatic purchase for most of the buyers and it is just an automatic transmission for them. Technical details does not matter
Most of the indepth explanation they give doesnt matter to general public. They will say not having sunroof as a huge drawback as if we use it all the time.lol
Hello Sir, need urgent help regarding my Tata Nexon XZ+. Purchased in December 2017. So I gave it for regular annual service 2 days back. Before giving it for servicing there was no warning lights in the instrument cluster. But the service manager called today and told me that the low oil pressure warning light (red colour) is flashing in your instrument cluster. It is flashing ever since it's engine oil was changed by them. He drained the engine oil again and refilled it, but the warning light is still persisting. Also he has checked the whole oil assembly and there's no leakage/problem they could found. They also checked for any damage in the compartment. One more thing, the warning light flashes when the rpm are below 2000. If the car revs above 2000rpm, the warning light switches off. Please tell me what to do. In the end the service guy has told me that the oil pump may be replaced and said its cost will be around Rs.9000. Odo Reading- 23,000km Service - 4th year annual service Please advice me
Quick questions to Gagan bhai 1. Which is better model- top end or second top end? If it is not for 360 degree camera 2. Is this car ok for travelling long distances like Mumbai to Goa/ Chennai/ Kerala,?? 3. Will this car be getting “BH” (Bharat) number plate or state wise number plate ?
Yes but can't say about long touring fir touring i always recommend having a sub compact SUVs or a suv not only for 360 camera it has Many more features i think Maruti priced Baleno Alpha very good they overpriced grand vitara and brezza
Bhai itna acha video hai bt ek issue muje thoda sa psand nhi aaya jo hai video quality Sirjii itnaa acha video bna rahe ho to kuch acha video filter ya to kuch color tone acha kar dete Ya fir iphone se hi shoot kar lete Thoda sa adaptive colortone milega Thank you..
Hi gagan , my budget is around 8L ,running is too less only highway , which is the best option for me ,please suggest. Safety and drive fun ,plz suggest which car should I go?
I own a Baleno Zeta MT 2022 . There is one issue which nobody has pointed........that is....the rearview mirror is placed bang on the windscreen which puts you in a blind spot when you look at the centre of the screen. I am 5'10, and this placement of the rearview mirror on the windscreen (& not on the roof panel above the windscreen) is bad placement. I would like to know your & owners' feedback if you are owning the new Baleno Zeta MT variant.
India mai itni garmi padti hai , aap tho khud rajasthan ke hain Gujarat maharastra Rajasthan mai sunroof is like liability use kuch khas hoti nahi hai gharmi bada deti hai cabin mai .
After seeing this Video by Gagan, it feels like Gagan is asked to call out the certain points through which Maruti wanted to check if the Indian buyer feels the necessity of such features or not.
Sir, I am confused between altroz petrol and new age baleno(MT) both top model. Safety is my priority...is 6 air bags overshadow the 5 ⭐ ncap rating? And for baleno i have to pay 65k extra....is 65k is worth it?
Are u still perplexed when new age baleno has arrived...it is a masterpiece...go for it...i have driven all premium hatchbacks...i m suggesting out of experience...its safe and premium and has useful new features ..
Tata: better built, better safety, better sound system and cheaper. Suzuki: better engine, better dashboard layout , better after sales service, better ergonomics and more features
Very bad experience at NEXA I have booked Baleno Sigma & paid Rs. 11000, expected delivery 6-7 weeks, after one week dealer is demanding Rs. 4 lacs and saying this is standard process. We will invoice for you when vehicle get start from plant to dealer. I want them to bring the vehicle, against my booking within stipulated time & deliver. But dealer is not willing to bring without 4 lacs I don't understand this is booking or bidding. Thinking to cancel my booking.
You always side of hyundai , so don’t make reviews partially. And it’s time maruti Suzuki made best which we all wanted. I appreciate Suzuki to this time.
