Dear Powerdrift friends, being an ardent fan of all your reviews, I think its almost time to tell you that how your reviews have lost that "powerdrift quality" nowadays. Your reviews used to be much more comprehensive - detailing how the car is to drive, how it behaves in corner, how it exels in utility like baggage space etc. See this baleno review, you even forgot to say a word about how the old diesel mill performs in a new chasis. DDIS is like the national engine of India, right? Everybody would love to hear from you guys how it would be in a new car with such low curb weight. And I think you guys have lost that theatrical Powerdrift touch we fans adore a lot. I love you guys and would love to see more from you. By the way the Endeavour review was more like it. Think about this. More power to you.
My Baleno just got delivered yesterday! The review is really accurate. Maruti Suzuki could have done a much better job on the interiors. But at the same time, the ride quality is fantastic. Kudos to @PD for the awesome review & great production quality. Nice job guys!
Hey powerdrift, I'm confused between i20 and Baleno, which one is a better machine? I heard that Baleno is unstable while cruising at speeds. Which one is a better option?
great review, booked this car after detailed home work, eventhough we have newer cars and technologies, but the cost of ownership matters and the reason for selection of Maruthi. Had booked the car without test drive, hope I like it, trusting your video and brand.
Maruti can sell any car. When people flock to buy Celerio, there's nothing much Maruti has to worry about giving a quality car. Not to take anything away from Baleno which is a good car.
I've already booked it. :)Just take the test drive and don't forget to take the car on some rough and broken roads, where you can feel the ride quality.
Baleno is a great car..have been using it since more than 6 months. Size wise it feels enormous from the inside as well as from out. But more than anything else, its the sheer ride quality which truimphs any other 'benefit'. Great work,MSIL!
Vikram Kasbekar can you plz tell is there any issue with rear suspension with baleno and what is your experience regarding back seat comfort for long rides
a review worth watching, not just for the car but how it is actually executed with locations background music videography n i found the last scene the best, camera following the car behind the tree on a seperate road n then joins ahead . good job (y)
I have a Zdi + model.. probably best in its class.. few things i would like to see as an improvement in next generation, these are - 1. the Bumper specially the rear is too soft and delicate, if you are taking knee support from bumper while loading or unloading luggage it is not good.. 2. The cabin insulation improvement is much needed. I have a new generation bolero also and sitting in both the cars back to back it's really a shame that bolero's cabin is unbelievably a whole lot quieter. Also at speeds above 120 kph there is too much wind noise specially at rear. The diesel engine noise gets in more than the bolero. 3. The rear seats cushioning can be improved to the level of Honda city. 4. The engine is very capable of doing 3 digit speeds without even realising. For highways a 6 speed gear is a must. Also it will improve fuel efficiency. 5. Cruise control, automatic headlights and automatic wipers are missing, which are already present on Brezza and S cross. Electric seats and sunroof are also good options. Considering the price of ciaz these options will hardly increase cost by a lac, which is still less than its competition. 6. The doors if u look at their thickness or i should say thinness. They don't give that sense of safety.
can you please suggest which car to go for? Jazz, Baleno, Etios Liva, or Polo....i really feel baleno and jazz have poor body strengths...can you please comment on this
i am confused between ford aspire and baleno. They both are of approximately same price. Baleno has six months waiting , if i wait six months is there going to be any price increment in start of 2017 ?
Mr babu... m planning to book baleno and i want to go for autum orange colour but i am not sure how does the colour look in real as there are no cars in showroom of this colour. .. i m living in delhi and i doubt if this colour will suit in sunlight n summers or not... n how wud it look in sunlight.
@Tanuj Girdhar... I had the same feeling initially till I got delivery of my Premium Autumn Orange Baleno !! That's a stunning, really premium shade on a Baleno, specially Alpha, with its chrome handles & linings. The shade looks different during the sunny day, under shade and night lighting. But, I love it. After I purchased it, all my friends & colleagues started liking it and many of them started thinking of booking this color. So, my advise is.... go with your mind & Baleno in Autumn Orange will not let you down.
PD how about the automatic transmission I wana come down to one car between Baleno and Polo TSI.Could you please help me with that? Thank you in advance :)
+Debajit B hey mate . What about fuel economy of RS will it be Worth waiting ? its the fuel economy and price i am worried about . will it be under 8 lakhs. ? what should be the fuel economy of RS ?
This Guy Debajit B is all over TH-cam comments when it comes to Baleno. Dude , can we talk about suspension of Baleno please, cause i heard it really sucks.
I was just derping through your channel to see if there's any hatchback video I missed; And that's when I came across this. This review is awesome. I mean, using just one finger to change gears, I bet there couldn't be a simpler way to demonstrate a light gearbox. Kudos, PD. ✌️✌️😏😏
Hello powerdrift .. Thnx for the ur quick response..Which are the basic things which we should look for when it comes to safety, OTHER THAN airbags abs etc ? Does ameo offers 6airbags ?And when we compare chase, building materials which car would u suggest for me ? By budget is up to 8lkhs.
Ah, the most coveted review. Love that you chose a new location; freshens up the visual appeal substantially. I appreciate that the rear bench comfort and ergonomics were covered no matter how brief it was! Please continue the trend. P.s - Hi Sharan :)
i am thinking to buy the delta version,,but little confused in color,, i know different people have different choices,but can you help me sir...its on road price is 7 lac,,,i will be glad if you show all colors in a videos
All reviews that I saw or read praised the ride quality of the petrol Baleno. But when I actually drove the car, I thought it was really bad. The suspension was loud and bouncy and I was moving all over the drivers seat.
loved the review, like a management mantra - KISS , keep it short and simple. I love how Sharan Paaji has eased into reviewing cars, just sits in the car and starts off , effortless review from his side I must say. Also seems like Ten Hut's way of talking has been picked up by Sharan also, Towards the end of the video after 5:15 for a minute looked like as if TenHut ended the review. Cheers team.
Hey pals, when it comes to safety - which will be the best hatchback in India? I'm only asking about the safety aspects. I'm not interested in bootspace, features etc. Plz help..
nice review as always bt guys don't u think the body quality is more thinner and more prone to dents? am I d only one who feels this Baleno is an upgraded premium class swift? coz of d body design n all
best review ever seen of Baleno thanks a lot ....I have booked a new baleno but very confused between urban Blue and Autumn Orange two colors pls gide me on this....which should I go for

PowerDrift has set itself very high standards when it comes to cinematography, direction, and presentation. Loved the video........and the car too.
Man... Thats one of the :
1. Best hatchbacks u chose for review..
2. Best color u cud hv chosen

Exactly. I Agree with Mr. Krishnan
Too true to not agree with that.
spot on
+A.M. Vineeth they are not reviews anymore they are advertisement though bike reviews are spot on and comprehensive too
also could you please somehow tune the voice of the host..his tone spoils the whole thing !
My Baleno just got delivered yesterday! The review is really accurate. Maruti Suzuki could have done a much better job on the interiors. But at the same time, the ride quality is fantastic.
Kudos to @PD for the awesome review & great production quality. Nice job guys!
Bro pick up kaise h
Baleno. 😍
Although I own an ecosport.
This car is beauty.
Awesome editing.....love the way of presenting the CAR....which nobody does better than you guyzzz...!!!! :)
Hey powerdrift, I'm confused between i20 and Baleno, which one is a better machine? I heard that Baleno is unstable while cruising at speeds. Which one is a better option?
BALENO forever!
great review, booked this car after detailed home work, eventhough we have newer cars and technologies, but the cost of ownership matters and the reason for selection of Maruthi. Had booked the car without test drive, hope I like it, trusting your video and brand.
An honest, unbiased and clinical review...
best part of PowerDrift was the DOP and SFX and a big thumbs up for u guys and u r all unique from other motor review channels , peace
The 'Team' appreciates this :)
5 months waiting completed to get the car in my hand.. &&& Waited 9 Months to see official review from power Drift....
Team ##PD## Thanks a ton... :)
Maruti can sell any car. When people flock to buy Celerio, there's nothing much Maruti has to worry about giving a quality car. Not to take anything away from Baleno which is a good car.
you have a point fella
though budget prob in indian family
+Gaurav Bharambey Maruti doesn't sell it cheaply either.
+Puneeth Shetty 😅😅
yeah
the truth had been spoken... hallelujah mate
absolutely true and the fact is that people are so fond of cheap suzuki cars and this one is like suzuki has offered a rollce royce, for suzuki fans.
Looks like maruti is really getting up the 'premium' tag. As always great job powerdrift :)
Planning to purchase the new Baleno?
+PowerDrift not anytime soon :(
baleno diesel alpha or brezza zdi? which one to buy ? majorly based on performance.
Great, crisp review! I was confused between this and the Hyundai i20...I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy the Baleno now!
consider ford figo diesel too!
I've already booked it. :)Just take the test drive and don't forget to take the car on some rough and broken roads, where you can feel the ride quality.
Now a days powerdrift gets more appreciation than the cars they reviews ! 😁😅
The steering wheel of swift returns to it orginal position after a steep turning but in baleno its not happening is it a flaw or is it like that ?
Great review. I was waiting for proper review of this car from your channel for quite a long time.
Baleno is a great car..have been using it since more than 6 months. Size wise it feels enormous from the inside as well as from out. But more than anything else, its the sheer ride quality which truimphs any other 'benefit'. Great work,MSIL!
Vikram Kasbekar can you plz tell is there any issue with rear suspension with baleno and what is your experience regarding back seat comfort for long rides
I know the shooting location the Baleno because my native place is on this route. Karjat Murbad highway, right?
Absolutely! Sharp eyes, Prashant!
More than the description of the vehicle, I watch PowerDrift videos just for the awesomeness of its cinematography and direction. Well done!
That means a lot Sridhar but we certainly hope people out there are getting educated by our content as well.
Content definitely yes, but it can be obtained anywhere. But video quality (eye candy) is available only here.
This review has set the bar even higher...Kudos Sharen & Powerdrift..
a review worth watching, not just for the car but how it is actually executed with
locations
background music
videography
n i found the last scene the best, camera following the car behind the tree on a seperate road n then joins ahead . good job (y)
I have a question. I am planing to buy i20 elite or baleno. little confused. for me driving quality is very important. please suggest.
I have a Zdi + model.. probably best in its class.. few things i would like to see as an improvement in next generation, these are -
1. the Bumper specially the rear is too soft and delicate, if you are taking knee support from bumper while loading or unloading luggage it is not good..

If u are really here to help, then you should raise the demerits as well.
Hello Sire, Where did you film this? Beautiful location.
I was just derping through your channel to see if there's any hatchback video I missed; And that's when I came across this.
This review is awesome. I mean, using just one finger to change gears, I bet there couldn't be a simpler way to demonstrate a light gearbox. Kudos, PD. ✌️✌️😏😏
Aye, glad you loved that one! :)

Yes yes! He definitely is around. Working on a super project deep inside the Catacombs! ;)

Hello powerdrift .. Thnx for the ur quick response..Which are the basic things which we should look for when it comes to safety, OTHER THAN airbags abs etc ? Does ameo offers 6airbags ?And when we compare chase, building materials which car would u suggest for me ? By budget is up to 8lkhs.

What is zeta petrol on road price in hubli
Is there any possibility of launching facelift model of Baleno in near future
Nothing can beat the legendary 1600cc mpfi
Which makes 95bhp and 131NM torque..and you know it
i want to buy my first car which one will be best for me i20active, figo,baleno...
i am thinking to buy the delta version,,but little confused in color,, i know different people have different choices,but can you help me sir...its on road price is 7 lac,,,i will be glad if you show all colors in a videos
Baleno petrol or i20 petrol?
Hello sir, I wanted to ask you if Baleno is a BS3 type vehicle or not ? thank you.
Hey Karan, the Baleno is BS-IV complaint. :)
what about the safety? is comparable to VW? Or just another Maruti ?
All reviews that I saw or read praised the ride quality of the petrol Baleno. But when I actually drove the car, I thought it was really bad. The suspension was loud and bouncy and I was moving all over the drivers seat.
how to identify if the variant is delta or zeta or sigma ?
and why maruti word not written on behind with word Suzuki?
cuz its a international model, and its by Suzuki, not by maruthi suzuki
New etios???
What place is this?wer was the car reviewed
One of my uncle owns a Baleno petrol. but He is annoyed with its average. is it the issues with all the Balenos
And what fuel efficiency are we talking about?
+PowerDrift 12kmpl
Great info.. between Baleno Delta 1.2 or Baleno Zeta 1.2 ..? Which is value for money.?
Praveen M.R Zeta sir
You know what? I never liked this car. But powerdrift review made me do. 😃
Wow. That's some compliment. Thank you :)
Share the video ahead maybe?
A good review.... Wonderful use of the camera and neatly covered
watching it late, but really excellent camera work guys.
Thank you Deepak. Hope you've seen our Blockbuster series ;)
Right Deepak Really Excellent work
liquid motion?
yeah, its liquid flow.
Is the front left fog lamp broken? 2:37 :P
The bulb went off there! Good spotting there.

Hi @powerdrift great review, waiting for this long time. how is the external build quality when compared to elite i20?
Dear Sharan, your reviews are awesome, love the way you present, kudos....
ending was perfect. The way that camera comes in front of the car "awesome"...
Thanks, Arun :D
Hey pals, when it comes to safety - which will be the best hatchback in India? I'm only asking about the safety aspects. I'm not interested in bootspace, features etc. Plz help..
If safety is the only criteria then you have the VW Polo, Ford Figo and also the new i20 which comes with 6 airbags.
Awesome location and a very good review thanks pd
Oh nyc to see the bezels reducing in your videos!
Hey PD. A quick answer. Baleno 1.3 vs Figo 1.5 Tit. which one?
baleno 1.3
Okay.. !
