BALENO REVIEW 2021 NEW FEATURES AND OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

Maruti Suzuki baleno

In brief, the Baleno is Maruti Suzuki’s largest hatchback. The model retails from Maruti’s premium Nexa outlets and is available with a choice of petrol and mild-hybrid petrol engines. Manual gearboxes are standard fitment, though a petrol-CVT automatic gearbox combo is an option too. In addition to an exterior and equipment upgrade earlier in 2019, the Maruti Baleno petrol engines have also been upgraded to BS6 spec.



The smartly turned-out Baleno scores well for practicality with its cabin, which offers more space than many pricier sedans. The boot is generously-sized, too. 2019's update has added colour to the cabin but material quality is mediocre by class standards. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno’s standard 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine is peppy, refined and efficient; and the five-speed manual gearbox is also nice to use. City dwellers will find a good combination of efficiency and convenience in the CVT auto variant. The 90hp Baleno Smart Hybrid is significantly pricier than the standard petrol version but promises enhanced performance and economy. The Baleno’s ride and handling are fine and the controls are light but the steering’s lack of adequate self-centring takes getting used to.


The Baleno 1.2 K12 petrol is a good buy and feels its best when allied with the smooth CVT automatic gearbox. All said, it’s the fully-loaded Alpha AT that is our pick of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno range. It is expensive, as far as Maruti hatchbacks go, but comes across as good value when judged against the competition.

With Honda’s BS6 range now in place, 2021 is likely to be the year where we see more premium products for its newly established Big Wing dealership network. The newly launched CB 350 Highness is proving to be quite popular and we expect to see more models on this platform, possibly something with 17-inch wheels this time around. 2021 will also see the return of the CBR650R and perhaps the introduction of the naked CB650R as well.  We’re also expecting to see Honda finally launch its 500cc platform in India, which includes the likes of the CB500X adventure tourer, CBR500 faired bike, CB500 naked and Rebel 500. Which of these will finally arrive is unclear, but at the right price, they all have good potential in our market.  And lastly, Honda promised us that the Forza 300 maxi scooter will return this year, but since it has been replaced internation...
