Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Spacious interior: Seats four adults, including two 6-footers back-to-back with ease.
- Good adjustability: Gets tilt and telescopic steering adjustment and height adjustable driver seat.
- Dependable petrol engine: Refined, peppy and efficient for city usage.
- Comfortable ride quality: Maintains comfort even over bad roads.
- Good storage options: Practical cabin and 318-litres of boot space can accommodate multiple suitcases.
Tata Punch
- SUV-like design: Looks like a proper mini SUV now, with clear design cues borrowed from bigger Tata models.
- Turbo-petrol engine: One of the most affordable turbo-petrol cars in India, finally giving the Punch strong performance.
- Useful feature upgrades: New 7-inch digital instrument cluster and 360-degree camera add real value.
- Spacious cabin: Comfortably seats four adults with good headroom and legroom for the size.
- Multiple powertrain options: Petrol, turbo-petrol and CNG with AMT make the Punch a versatile choice.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- AMT transmission: Not as smooth or quick as the CVT or DCT offered with its rivals.
- Soft seat cushioning may hamper comfort for long drives.
Tata Punch
- Interior feels familiar: Design changes are minimal, and plastic quality is just about average for the segment.
- Touch-based air-conditioning panel: It is overly sensitive to touch and often requires you to take your eyes off the road, which isn’t ideal while driving.
- No turbo-petrol automatic: The missing automatic gearbox with the turbo engine limits its appeal for city buyers.
- Locked fuel efficiency: Our test cars had the minimum fuel efficiency locked at 8 kmpl, which is misleading and not transparent for the users
