2 years Bond with Baleno Alpha

2 years Bond with Baleno Alpha

Baleno is operated under Nexa brand has been a quite successful model. I bought the Baleno Alpha Manual Petrol Model in 2016 October. Positives: 1. Very good fuel efficiency. After two years still getting around 20 Km/liter in Slightly hilly areas of Himachal Pradesh very speed is generally low and speed is reached is low. 2. Really Happy with all-weather AC which is a feature to enjoy. 3. Interiors are good and charging ports are good. 4. Really love the internal mirrors which reduce reflection from back and back camera with parking sensors are handy. 5. Maintenance has been low so far in 2 years. Negatives: 1. Once you have 5 people sitting in a car, the car feels short of power and especially in hilly areas you feel that lack of power more. With AC on it is even worse. 2. Not happy with ground clearance. In Rural India experience is not great. 3. Parking sensors need improvement have ditch or gutter at end of the road it will not detect it. 4. I find the music system with touch display not very user-friendly with Android especially. Maps are also a disappointment. Need option to cast mobile/google maps to screen for better accuracy and ease. 5. Need to improve tool kit especially for changing tires as it is difficult for women drivers still. I would like an electric machine which can be connected to charging port and be used to lift lever and unscrew and screw back the spare Tyre. Suggestions for Maruti: Better implementation of IOT and AI features would be welcome where it tells us the issues in advance and can do some repair/preventive actions on its own.
