Cabin Space
The cabin feels airy and the rear legroom is best-in-class, easily seating three adults in comfort.
Sheet Metal

▲ 21The suspension is tuned too soft. There is a lot of body roll around corners, and the car floats and bounces on wavy highway roads, making rear passengers feel car-sick.

▲ 6Real-world city mileage is atrocious. The petrol automatic is giving me barely 8–9 km/l in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. Highway is better at 14 km/l, but still disappointing.

▲ 4The petrol turbo engine has got genuine punch. The MT transmission shifts are lightning-quick and smooth. Extremely fun to drive on open highway stretches.

▲ 15Overall a solid packages, but the touchscreen infotainment is prone to random freezes. The cabin is spacious, but the middle rear seat is too narrow and firm for long journeys.

Baleno blueprint — tap any metric to see how it compares in the compact hatch class.
Wheelbase (2,520 mm)
On the Baleno, the wheelbase is about average wheelbase for its segment. Rear space is typical for cars in this segment. A longer wheelbase also reduces pitch over potholes and speed breakers.
Automobile Literacy
Jargon-Free Safety & Tech
What all those complex brochure codes actually mean in plain, practical terms.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) & VSM
Emergency Anti-Skid. If the vehicle senses a loss of traction (like on wet mud or when swerving to avoid an obstacle), it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to keep you on your steered path. Essential for safety.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
Roll-back Prevention. When starting the vehicle on a steep slope (like a flyover or basement mall ramp), it holds the brakes for 2 seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator.
6 SRS Airbags (Standard)
Full-Cabin Cushioning. Protects all occupants in case of an impact. Includes two front airbags, two seat-mounted side airbags, and two curtain airbags that shield front and rear passengers' heads from side window impacts.
All-Wheel Disc Brakes
Consistent Stopping Power. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade. They stop the vehicle shorter, more predictably, and with far less foot pressure.
Star Map LED DRLs & Headlamps
Advanced Night Vision. LEDs throw a much whiter, wider, and brighter beam than yellow halogens, reducing eye fatigue during night highway runs. Star Map running lights make you highly visible to oncoming traffic.
