Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Features: Useful additions like ventilated seats, wireless charger and Level-2 ADAS
- Ride comfort: Isolates really well from bad roads and feels stable on the highway
- Refinement: Despite the 3-cylinder engine, feels refined with controlled vibrations
- Space: Accommodates four adults, including tall ones at the rear
- City drivability: Feels smooth and has good usable performance for city speeds
Maruti Suzuki Dzire
- Looks distinctive: New design elements give it an identity different from the Swift.
- Excellent boot space. Can store an entire suitcase set along with two soft bags.
- Comfortable ride quality: Cushioned over regular imperfections, and limits movement on sharper potholes too.
- Ground clearance: 163mm is more than enough to drive easily over rough roads.
- Safety package: 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating and 6 airbags as standard.
- High mileage: Returns around 15-16 kmpl in the city in regular driving conditions.
- Offers feel-good features like sunroof, 360 degree camera and 9-inch touchscreen.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Looks: New grille looks too bold in what is an otherwise sober styling
- Silly misses: No rear central armrest, front type-C ports and LED indicators
- Highway performance: Slow and gradual acceleration beyond 60kmph takes time to build speed
Maruti Suzuki Dzire
- Low engine refinement and performance: Feels dull with a full load and overtakes require planning.
- AMT transmission: Slow and jerky on the highway, and upshifts quite early leaving less usable power.
- Limited headroom: Sloping roofline limits headroom for 6-footers.
