Sporty Yet Practical

Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a perfect fusion of bold looks, power and styling. It makes my everyday drive a fun experience. I have a 1.3 Alpha variant which is loaded with all bells and whistles. it has plenty of legroom, headroom and equipped with some of the best in class features like touchscreen infotainment system integrated with Apple CarPlay function. Adding to this, the steering mounted audio and voice controls gives me freedom to drive actively while keeping my eye on roads and hands on the steering. Baleno is also equipped with some standard safety features like ? dual airbags and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD. My car has a 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine which develops 55.2KW of power at 4000rpm and 200Nm of torque at 2000rpm. As I am an engineer, so I know all the basics of RPM and gear ratios and I drive according to that. Hence, my Baleno manages to return a good mileage of around 26.5kmpl on highways and above 23kmpl in the city traffic. Look wise, with its muscular design and front bold grille make it a head turner. Despite being a diesel powered engine, the cabin is very quiet and does not cause any vibrations and noise. Best suggestion I can give you is that, if you want a best in class mileage, good comfort and most important - Maruti Suzuki reliability, then Baleno is the perfect car to choose.
