Baleno My First Rendezvous With The Stylish Hatchback

The Baleno welcomes you to a user-friendly cabin that is very simple and easy to get acquainted with, even if you're new to the Maruti brand.The Baleno starts to redeem itself when it comes to seats and occupant space.The front seats feel adequately supportive and comfortable, and there's generous space for a tall driver like me.The center console is angled for a driver-focused approach, and the leather-wrapped steering feels great to hold with good thumb resting points.The front seats are not as comfy as the Baleno's, but are suitable for a long distance trip. With seats adjusted for a tall person, rear occupants have similar headroom, although legroom is not as spacious as the Baleno.The Baleno is the only premium hatchback to offer HID headlamps.One of the most talked about selling points of the Baleno is its safety package. To everyone's surprise, Maruti made dual airbags and ABS as standard in all variants of the Baleno at launch, whilst keeping the price competitive. The Maruti Baleno has a slightly firmer suspension setup that exhibits little body roll around corners. Handling characteristics are not as enthusiastic as the Maruti Swift, yet it's fairly decent for a comfortable family hatchback.
