The Baleno is a well-rounded urban hatchback that prioritizes safety with 6 airbags and a 4-star NCAP rating. Its standout 30.61 km/l efficiency and dual-fuel flexibility make it practical for daily commutes, but the 89 bhp engine and basic comfort setup feel entry-level for the segment.

Stands out

  • 6 airbags and 4-star NCAP rating provide strong crash protection
  • Outstanding 30.61 km/l fuel efficiency cuts running costs significantly
  • Dual-fuel option adds convenience and flexibility at fuel pumps
  • Affordable entry point at ₹5.99 lakh for the segment
  • Compact 318L boot manages city parking and daily shopping

!Gives us pause

  • 89 bhp feels underpowered for highway merges and overtaking
  • Minimal comfort tech—no ventilated seats, sunroof, or advanced features
  • Only 3 core tech features lack modern connectivity appeal
  • No ADAS functions for driver assistance or accident prevention
  • Tight rear legroom and basic cabin materials at this price
