6. Driving & Comfort

Driving & Comfort Assessment

Performance Score7.5/10
Comfort Score6.0/10

City Driving

Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Tight turning radius of 5m makes U-turns and parking very easy. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.

Highway Performance

The 89 bhp engine is sufficient for highway cruising but needs planning for quick overtakes. Lighter weight means crosswinds can be felt at higher speeds.

Ride & Comfort

Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Road and engine noise are noticeable, typical for this segment.

"Premium Hatchback with Style, Comfort and Great Mileage: I have been using the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta Manual Petrol for some time and I am very impressed. The car looks premium and stylish, especially the sleek design and LED lights. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, and the drive quality is very smooth even in city traffic. Mileage is also quite good for daily use. Maruti’s reliability and low maintenance make it a perfect choice for someone who wants a classy yet practical hatchback. Overall, it offers great value for money and I am very satisfied with my purchase."

"Smooth, Fuel-Efficient, and Perfect for Daily City Drives: I purchased the Baleno Delta CNG new, and it’s been a great experience so far. The mileage is impressive, especially for city traffic in Noida, averaging around 28 km/kg. The drive is smooth and stable even at higher speeds. The cabin feels premium for its price, with good space and comfort. Maintenance has been light so far, and Maruti’s service network makes things easy. The only drawback is a slightly lower boot space due to the CNG tank, but overall it’s a practical and economical choice."
