Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Baleno
- Spacious interior
- Well built on the inside and out. Fitment quality feels premium now
- Well-loaded features list
- Refined and enjoyable to use petrol engine
- Comfortable ride quality even over bad roads
Maruti Ignis
- Healthy 180mm ground clearance lets you tackle a bit of rough roads.
- Ample cabin space for four occupants. Healthy amount of headroom and legroom on offer.
- High seating position. Gives a commanding view of the road ahead.

Maruti Baleno
- AMT is good but not as sophisticated as CVT/DCT
- Seat cushioning is very soft which may cause problems for long drives.
- Boot loading lip is very high
- Not a sporty car to drive
Maruti Ignis
- Quality of plastic used inside the cabin are slightly hard. The light white colour is likely to get dirt easily too.
- Centre console of mid-spec variants (without touchscreen) looks a bit awkward.
