Customer Reviews:

Maruti Suzuki Baleno gets a whopping 4.5/5 rating from its users. The car gets a good point on mileage, looks, and level of comfort. The car also gets a good point in city rides. These are some pros and the cons include cheap build quality, unstable in high speed, and poor in the hilly area.  

The pros of Baleno are:

• LED projected headlights from Delta variant onwards. LEDs usually offer better visibility than halogens or bi-xenon units.
• Automatic climate control from Delta variant onwards. Unlike a manual AC, automatic climate control allows the user to maintain a set temperature inside the cabin as per their needs.
• ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard across the range. This lets you attach a child seat on the back seat of the hatchback to offer kids below the age of 10 better safety.

The only cons of Baleno are that the car could have been more rear passenger-centric. Misses out on side and curtain airbags, rear AC vents and rear armrest.
