Just love how the tough competition from local OEMs like Tata, Mahindra finally made Maruti to work on design and interiors.
And safety
There are many things wrong with Baleno, but when it comes to its looks, Baleno is still a stunner. What a beauty to look at!!
yea i like the baleno, but hey it isnt that pretty🤨
It's the more stylish than another hatchback of this segment
Swift looks better. Anytime
Autocar is Autocar, very clear and crisp, I always feel satisfied of a car review after watching Autocar as no one else explains the driving details better and the videos are around 10-12 min
Maruti cars are good for average user. The big plus features are- 9inch infotainment, 6 air bags, hill assist, HUD, great interiors and pleasing exterior, comfortable seats, AC styling and handling, rear AC vents and 360 deg camera. However, while launching a new model, they could have also included a few more features such as wireless charging, ventilated seats and a better engine to improve driving experience. Somehow, there is a lot of push for fuel economy and keeping the price lower than competition. At least in the top version, better features with a marginal price increase would have attracted young buyers toward All New Baleno. At that price point, one doesn’t mind an extra 20-30 thousand or so. After all, Maruti has huge resale value, great service network and huge happy customer base who would be happy to upgrade.
The new Maruti Baleno looks stunning and the road presence looks amazing as well. What is disappointing is that the CVT has been replaced by AGS ..which in my opinion is inferior when compared with CVT or a traditional torque converter. I had a terrible experience with Celerio AMT and finally had to discard the car and go in for a Hyundai i10 AT. Maruti should rething it's decision to introduce AGS on Baleno when company categorised Baleno as a premium hatch back.
I own a 2016 Baleno Alpha automatic, and it's always fun to drive it.
The CVT is a big miss. The AMT no matter how good they are still feels jerky. They should have given AT.
Even though it sounds promising, the biggest disappointment is the swap of the CVT to AMT. This loses the premium feel of the car. Maruti could have offered the torque converter of its bigger cars.
Maruti sells on mileage. The 4 speed TC is generations back now. We need more gears. But AMTs of Marutis are good.
Yes, AMT is the biggest disappointment and is no way premium
Not at all, AMT was the perfect choice for this segment. CVT cost about 1.3L more than the Manual Baleno, offered worse fuel economy and was higher in maintanence. The AMT gearbox costs just 50k more than the manual, while offering better mileage and cheap maintenance. It's a no brainer in this segment. Even Tata Punch AMT is selling like hot cakes.
You need to understand..now baleno has improved in safety,whole lot of electronics and feautures.. To fit the car in same price range they replaced CVT with AMT..
@@nischalk1336 AMT are not at all cheap to maintain, once you are out of warranty it costs a bomb. Check team bhp for the cost to repair AMT.
Awesome review as autocar has always delivered!!
The Downgrade from CVT to AMT is very disappointing.
I really really fall in love with a all new baleno it's because of lots and lots of cabin space on offer for a long drive 😀😀
Most awaited review.. Thank 😊 you autocar and renuka mam
To be honest it is a good car with some feel good features....but when I hear about it, that is based on "Heartect" platform then I quite concern about it's stuctural rigidity
Wonderful review , all the points clearly mentioned especially about the missing CVT , Maruti could have reworked the CVT in the baleno , slight price increase wouldn't have mattered.
The whole purpose od Nexa experience is not worth now , If I wanted AGS i can go for the swift which still is a fantastic car as far driving goes.
Was eagerly waiting for Autocar review on baleno 🖤 ty
Thank you Autocar ...I have booked my all new Baleno...After all the reviews this was the final review I saw and booked..
new touch screen and head up display with increased price and cvt to amt woooh what a upgrade
I was only Luke warm on the looks of the previous model but this new version looks respectable and it's obvious they put a lot of thought in to the re-design elements. I'm actually very surprised how much the design tweaks changed the overall look of the car in general. This will definitely give this model greater mass-appeal.
Was waiting for this video
Hey can we install this HUD in zeta variant? Or in future this accessory will be available?
Finally Indian cars are being made by thinking about safety features a little bit but still a LONG way to go... Customers too need to be more aware and ask about Global NCAP safety test ratings of cars... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's very evident that even Renuka is disappointed driving the AMT transmission. It's high time that Maruti should give a good AT gearbox to the customers. What's the point in all other upgraded features when driveability is no fun.
People used to praise the Suzuki k series engine including me but unfortunately it's not the engine it's the car's light weight that made the driving experience delightful.now its heavier by around 70 kgs and it's performance has gone down.waste of 💸.
Then they also ditched the only CVT in their entire lineup and selling a hatchback at 11 lacs with a non turbo amt.
Lol. Still this Baleno weighs only 955-960kg which means it has the same weight as 2nd gen Swift, i hope you know how that Swift petrol drives.
@@berlins5242 previous generation Swift had good handling and it's performance was good but not by today's standard.sure you still won't find a NA petrol better than this but man look at its price ,it's close to i20 nline base model,altroz and i20 diesel which are miles ahead of this in terms of pickup.. I mean a na petrol priced near turbo petrol and diesel is ridiculous.
,,👍🏼 this Baleno's Two Misses
1, the Ventilated Seats , as Summer is gripping in Mumbai, Pune & all over India
2. a More Powerful Engine
Head Up Display is a kind of Gimmick
I20 doesn't have ventilated seats 🥲
They focused more on competitive pricing and they got it right... Ventilated seat could have been made an add on to top end charging extra
A solid design revision. I like it.
but not a solidd build quality worst car
@@phanindraganta1999 The build quality is good
Pre congratulations for 2 million subscribers......
Keep it up......
Best review.thanks
Overall it's best package
finally a difference between the glanza and the baleno
I have Baleno RS, Looks like I still got no car to upgrade in this price range
The design of almost every maruti cars are best in segment. They don't overdo and most importantly don't put headlights on bumpers
Maruti Suzuki nailing it always 🤩
Congratulations autocar india in advance for hitting 2M subscribers
Goldstandard of car reviews
Will they send to GNCAP TESTING ??? EVERY ONE Need to know what safety reinforcement they did to the structure apart from 6 air bags ..
I presume it would get 4 stars in GNCAP.
The front panels now feel strong like the engine bonnet. That was just paper thin in the old car. The weight has gone into the frame. Overall this feels a little more beefy and solid than the old Baleno.
Maruti should bring back the RS model ( 200 NM torque minimum ) and the CVT .
I would hav liked anti pinch on all windows
Better suspension and one touch up and down for all 4 windows.
Steering feel is very light, no feedback from Steering.
HUD is good addition
TPMS would have been very appreciated.
Paint quality is still not top notch, looks like 2 layers of coat are still missing.
No matter how much Suzuki work on their design or interior, it can never match the feel of premium likes of Hyundai, Honda, VW or Skoda. These companies are way ahead of Maruti Suzuki now and they can never match them
New baleno looks premium and good looks. One of the best in the segment. It can have cvt then ags, if it has that it will be the best seller in the segment.
Cvt to amt is a Regressive approach. They shud have offered dct or a torque converter.
Renuka’s presentation 👍🏻
Which is best i20 or new baleno?which one will be good option ..if you can help me out ..
Awesome review.. but has the safety of Baleno increased as said.... Thanks for share this video
I have been driving my civic automatic with paddle shifts for many years now and recently swapped it for a Swift zxi plus AMT. To be honest the Civics gear shifts were way smoother and never ever made me feel like I have less power at my disposal for quick overtakes but nor does the Swift's AMT. It downshifts really quick and gives me ample power for sudden requirements of acceleration. Even regular gear shifts are not felt allot. In 3rd 4th and 5th you hardly feel it. 1st and second the shifts are felt. My honest opinion is that the AMT is rather good and if you aren't really looking at the technicality of it it's a pretty good transmission.
Comparing 139 hp engine to 89hp engine?
@@stegoshen 😂💯
Thanks for the update
Break lights are giving strong vibes of Honda amaze 🤝
Mam please let me know if I should go for Baleno (Sigma)2022 or WagonR (ZXI+) 2022 ?
Coz the ₹ difference is just 14k!
I love the addition of HUD and the interior changes however, the rear C shape taillamps are not for everyone's taste. I personally prefer the older retro looking taillamps. However Great video AutocarIn 🔥🔥
Hovhho
9o
The rear tail lights reminds me that of Honda's WRV tail lights design.
Backseat armrest is a MUST in a car of this price and segment. It adds much to the comfort and overall experience. Huge miss from Maruti.
Good point from a price perspective but adding armrest would not make sense if there are 3ppl seated at the back. Also, the concept of armrest was primarily designed for luxury sedans for passenger comfort. For an hatchback it is not a big miss.
Congrats 🎉 for 2 million
Companies like Renault, Hyundai etc are providing multiple transmission options like CVT,AMT etc for a single car so Maruti should launch a CVT/TC option for Baleno too
A DCT with paddle shifters will be a welcome change.
If the current generation polo and fabia are introduced in Indian market
It will rule the segment easily
My 65 lakh 3 series Gran Limousin doesn't have 360 degree camera 😐
shame
F
Lol
Torque converter would have been better. But hope AMT works well
Way of Expression is very Good
Great going by Maruti specially the features and safety kit dashboard aslo looks modern now even the flat bottom Steering wheel
So the drivablity below 2k rpm from the K series engine dies with this BS6 version.
Question for comment section experts:
1. Budget is 6.5-7.5 lacs
2. Looking for Hatchback or compact suv preferably 1.2 lt engine with good mileage and whose good service is not on higher side
3. Glanza E, Baleno Sigma or Punch pure ?
( Punch feels little underpowered though)
4. 60% Highway, 40% City traffic
That AMT just ruined in what could have been a great premium hatch. Swap that useless HUD with a proper automatic..real requirements over gimmicks please
Dear mam, when can we expect the NCAP score for New age Baleno?
Nice love it, outside looks similar but interior is super😍
My budget is tight and I really don't find Delta variant VFM. Will it be fine to go for Sigma variant and personalize as per my requirements from after market? I wanted to get it done from showroom itself but the stereo and speakers they are showing are totally outdated models.
Yes, Sigma trim is VFM. You can accessorise stereo & speakers from after markets. Otherwise, wait for some time until the showroom equips latest speakers
Good makeover Suzuki..always in the game.
What is the safety rating of this car? Has it come out yet?
Wow so they moved from Cvt to amt as an upgrade after 6 years !!
Baleno base or punch adventure , which one is better
still no illuminated power window button , at night its very difficult ... carried over from 2011 swift
LOOKS VERY PREMIUM AND REFINED ...GREAT COMPETITOR FOR NEW i20...CANT COMPARE IT WITH OTHER 3 CYLINDER CARS😁
Let’s hope CARUTI Baloon gets atleast 3 ⭐️ rating in GNCAP this time due to nearly one ton of weight added to it as everybody is talking abt it.
have the older version on the Baleno and only grip was its stiff suspension and thin sheet metal as have encounter many small dents
How about the safety rating. earlier baleno was a plastic can
What no bloopers!!! Oh I wait for those Autocar
this was a chance for maruti to make the baleno both a hatchback and a sedan
What I was waiting for the the review from this Channel ❤️ #thanks
I drive my automatic car in mannual mode then average is increased or not... because mannual car higher average for compire to automatic car...
If Maruti starts making safe care the rest of the companies will be in big trouble
How about the plastic used for dashboard?
So wondering if a tinbox require 6 airbags? How does it help.
Maam have you test driven the Tigor CNG ? A very interesting car . Please do drive it and give us your views .
What about the steering? Is it still lifeless and non self centering?
The question is how safe is it?
hope it will go for NCAP and earn a good score there.
I don't know why they added HUD lol,its generally meant for sports cars on track days,in which you are wearing a crash helmet so your peripheral vision get limited,hence the HUD helps to keep track of your speed and gears,not sure it would be too useful in a 1.2 litre family hatchback😂,wireless charger would have been more useful,nonetheless,what i do like is that they have stuck with regular instrument cluster with a Tft display in the middle which is much much better then idiotic all digital screens,really like the interior of this new one a lot,exterior is a hit or miss,if it does well in crash tests,i would definetely consider it as a replacement for my old i20.
Bhai Baleno Alpha ❤1 no. Car he with 360dg cemea and prime looks I love the car ..
I wish it had Atleast 120 hp with 200nm of torque, turbo petrol.
is the Baleno cvt better than the newer amt
front grill with small honey comb holes will be more attractive than bigger ones
Informative
Superb guys
Is Suzuki connect available in Zeta Variant
After a long time... I am hearing that Maruti's engine is sluggish below the low end rpm.... Practically they have increased the weight for upcoming bharat safety norms and the emission norms. It is practically screwing all the trump cards of Maruti's forte..so may be thats why they started focussing on features..... For me the CVT of Maruti is the worst with a four speed unit.... Old school but reliable.... But it will never provide the fuel efficiency.....
She is referring to Amt about that lag below 2000rpm, Manual has no such problems and it will fly like typical Suzuki K12.
New baleno has even better fuel efficiency than before
@@berlins5242 nope..k12 n dualjet has initial lag below 2000 rpm..the engine is not that rev friendly as well.It becomes very throaty when pushed...Even in teambhp forum the people have same opinion about the engine..The power delivery is linear but there is an initial flat spot which forces downshifts essentia for overtakes and in hillyareas..
Bring a comparison of the new baleno, tata altroz and hyundai 120.
Add the crash test video as well in the end. Crash test ratings?
Should have come with Sunroof.
Awesome review.. but has the safety of Baleno increased as said.. I still doubt it maybe because Maruti never mentions about Global NCAP ratings though google says it is safe..
Please do comparison between base model and top model
Please post comparison video with. i20/Altroz/Glanza/Jazz
Glanza too getting the same upgrade?
Glanza looks more stylish, but i will buy whichever install a Sunroof.
What's about the 🌞 roof you didn't specific ?
I dont understand why they dint use the aircon pannel from ignis..
