Maruti-Suzuki Baleno

In all of my reviews, I had mentioned that small families prefer small hatch cars. It doesnot mean that everyone look for such cars some of the other segments people prefer are SUV's MPV's and premium hatches.

 When people for this type segment cars they need power, driving quality, feaatures and safety. Some of the most premium hatches prefered are Honda Jazz and Hyundai i20 Elite. In these segment Maruti-Suzuki had also launched their Baleno.

 Exterior

 Baleno's design varies from other Maruti-Suzuki vehicles. The design gives a premium attitude to the car. The small V shaped radiator grill with a Chromium lining athe bottom which lais into the headlight unit is nice. Baleno comes with a projector headlamp and feels the headlamp is to small for the car. The front paart is awesome and doesn't gives any similarity to other Maruti-Suzuki cars. The side part has a fluidic line from front to back which gives a premium look.



 The rear part is absolutely fine, which also gives the premium look. The rear wind shield is bented towards the car, which comes with a rear wiper and defogger (according to variants). The chromium lining aat the bottom of the wind shield and the small tail lights at both sides gives fliudic design which we had seen in all the parts.
    Overall the Baleno looks a premium hatch in its exterior.

 Interior

 The interior we see is absouletly diffierent from other Maruti-Suzuki vehicles. The only sme element is the steering wheel which we had seen in Maruti-Suzuki Swift, Ciaz etc. The sterring wheel is tiltable and telescopic, which is mounted with audio controls.
The instrument cluster gives ambient lighting and a display which gives you all the neccasary details about the vehicle like fuel efficiency (mileage), distance to empty etc. Baleno has a inbuilt touch screen Infotainment System, that comes with a GPS navigation in offline. We can also connect USB, Aux, Blutooth. Baleno also has a aautomated climate control (will vary according to variants). The cabin is spacious and has a good legroom and headroom.
