Should Maruti Suzuki create a performance version of Ciaz?

I would love to see a performance Ciaz, if Maruti can keep it affordable. If it's going to cost as much as the European competitors then there's no point in making it.

Why not? The Ciaz line could have a great halo product. It might not sell in huge numbers, but it could help the image of the car in general.

In my opinion Maruti should consider this. With some tweaks, the Ciaz has great bones, and could be a fun driver's car. It would show that Maruti can do more than economy cars, plus.

The regular Ciaz could do with an improvement first, but a performance variant would be nice. The need is better NVH, more features and updated styling.
Does the Baleno's fuel efficiency really play up to the hype in the real world?
31 December 2024 07:39
On highways, the Baleno’s fuel efficiency is pretty close to what Maruti claims, at least in my experience. On long trips, I get around 20-21 kmpl which is very impressive.

I have no idea what these guys are talking about. In city traffic with AC on, my Baleno barely gives 14 - 15 kmpl. It’s good, not as great as Maruti makes it sound.

It really depends on your driving style, I think. I've gotten good at driving efficiently and can get good mileage. Smooth acceleration and anticipating traffic is all.

It has good fuel efficiency but let's be honest, you're doing it at the expense of performance. Sometimes I wish I had got a more powerful car even with lower mileage.

I was coming from a diesel car and was worried about the petrol costs. The Baleno, however, has been a pleasant surprise. It's not diesel level efficient, but it's close enough to make me happy.
Does the Baleno's fuel efficiency really play up to the hype in the real world?

The fuel efficiency varies widely with temperature, I've found. I get much better mileage in winters when compared to peak summer when the AC is on.

The Baleno is hard to beat for efficiency for a petrol car. You won't come close to the ARAI figures, but it's still a fuel sipper compared to its rivals.
Do you have to give up some driving dynamics to get the Baleno’s space and comfort?
31 December 2024 07:39
Absolutely worth it. For tall people like me, the Baleno’s space is a godsend. In this segment, it’s rare to find a car where you can actually sit comfortably in the back seat.

I disagree. I test drove the Baleno and the i20, but the i20 just felt a lot more fun to drive. On highways, the soft suspension of the Baleno makes it a little bit floaty.

Daily commuting and family use is something that the Baleno’s comfort fits in perfectly. Not all of us need or want a stiff, sporty ride. Every day my back thanks me for the comfort over the sportiness.

I believe Maruti found the right balance. The bad roads are comfortable enough, but it doesn’t feel like a boat. It isn’t a hot hatch, but it isn’t pretending to be one.

I do miss the sharp handling sometimes, as they come from a Honda. The extra space in the Baleno makes up for it, and I've never had the extra space in the Baleno when I've been hauling stuff or have passengers.

It’s great space, but I wish Maruti offered a stiffer suspension option for enthusiasts. It would not be hard to do and would make the car appeal to a wider audience.

I’ll take the Baleno’s comfort any day as a person who drives on pothole ridden roads regularly. Dodging craters doesn't make sporty dynamics worth much.

I find the Baleno actually quite fun to drive, just in a different way. It’s not about how hard you can corner, but how well you can progress smoothly. It can be satisfying in itself.
Is the build quality of Baleno really as bad as people say?
31 December 2024 07:38
It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. The Baleno feels solid enough to me, and I’ve owned mine now for over a year. It’s not tank like but it’s a definite improvement over older Marutis.
