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.

  • No ADAS functions for driver assistance or accident prevention
  • Tight rear legroom and basic cabin materials at this price
