Sponsored feature: The premium experience

A cut above.

You can’t deny it. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is something special. At first glance, it captures your attention and then it holds on to it. Is it because of the elegant and harmonious design? Is it because of its powerful stance? Or the sophisticated mien? The Maruti Suzuki Baleno‘s lines have been penned by Liquid Flow Design language. A design philosophy that stems from the principle of freezing in metal the motion of an energetic mass of liquid. The result is the dynamic, energetic and premium design of the Baleno.

Settle in luxury.

If the Baleno’s design is alluring, the interiors are even more captivating. The car’s cabin is a seamless blend of style and elegance. All-black premium interiors, plush and comfortable seats, every detail in the Baleno has been meticulously crafted. The beautifully designed dashboard caters to all your information, communication and entertainment needs. The SmartPlay infotainment system features Apple CarPlay, the first car in India to do so.

It’s the smartest and easiest way to control an iPhone through the car’s SmartPlay screen. Then there is the coloured TFT Multi-Information Display that tracks and reveals information from engine output to average fuel consumption. But the most important features here are the basket of safety systems. Even the base model gets all the safety features. Safety is not an option. So every Baleno gets all safety features. Dual front airbags.ABS with EBD. Front seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters.  Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology that means the body is built with stronger and safer high-tensile steel. Keep your family and friends safe.

A premium experience.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is no ordinary car. The way it looks, the way it feels, the way it drives and the way it makes the driver and passengers feel cocooned in comfort and safety make it very special. Such a car deserves special attention. It deserves to be understood properly. Its many innovative features deserve to be explained and experienced in detail. This is a car that deserves better. After all, it is a car that’s made of mettle. All you need to do to experience it is take it for a test drive.

That’s where the special attention comes in. To experience the Baleno, you have to step into a Nexa showroom. A new destination that delivers a superlative car-buying and owning experience.

What you notice at once is the car. That’s because the only spot of colour in the monochrome Nexa showroom is the car. The spotlight is exactly where it should be. The experience though, is centredaround your needs. State-of-the-art tablets, car configurator, mirroring screens and the owner’s app make the Nexa experience seamless and verypersonalised. When you buy a car like the Baleno from a Nexa showroom, you have the option to buy a My Nexa membership card with rewards that cater to your lifestyle and get a relationship manager who understands your and your car’s needs. At a Nexa showroom, you get the attention that every car buyer should get, but usually doesn’t. Don’t take our word for it. Hear from those who’ve experienced it first hand.

The ambience at the Nexa showroom is what singles it out. The space and design is extremely premium. This is complemented by a courteous and co-operative team who make you feel like a VIP. So, top marks to the Nexa showroom for both experience and service.

My choice of the Baleno was primarily driven by the car’s sleek design. I love the way it looks. I love the colour blue, and find that the colour really suits the car. I also enjoy driving, and the car is a joy to drive. The engine is smooth and powerful.  For the family, it is very comfortable and spacious. I love the amount of leg space there is on offer. I use my Baleno every day, driving about 70km on an average. And it doesn’t strain my pocket as it gives me around 20kpl! The music system is also really good and keeps me company on long drives. The features most useful to me are the mobile phone charger and powered side-view mirrors. They are a smart touch, and convenient too. Overall, it’s a thumbs up to Maruti.

The first thing that struck me about the Nexa showroom was the loss of chaos, compared to other car showrooms. The interiors of the showroom are done up very nicely. A special mention for the staff — the way they treated me made me feel like I was buying something very premium. Individual attention, detailed explanations, a proper test drive, everything was done with professional elan and personal service.

When I was shopping for a car I checked out many cars. But when I sat in the S-Cross, I instantly loved the luxurious feel. The all-black interiors look very classy and are easy to live with in Delhi’s dusty atmosphere. The other advantage I find is the car’s higher ground clearance. Since this car has a little higher ground clearance than sedans, I’m a little more at peace when Delhi experiences floods. It’s good to drive and has some great features. But what I appreciate most are the excellent seats. And when I drive, I sit at a very comfortable height. I’m very happy with my decision.

I believe that Maruti cars are the best for middle-class customers like me. I have always had Maruti cars and the S-Cross is the fourth Maruti I have owned. I bought my car from a Nexa showroom, and this is very different from the other showrooms I had bought my cars from previously. The decor and ambience were much more plush and premium than other dealerships’. But what stands out is the service. I had requested for delivery on Dhanteras. The car was promptly delivered to my house at 11am on the morning of Dhanteras.

The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross is a beautiful car and reminds me of cars that cost five times more. I love the design of the car. The other things I really appreciate are all the features that make life more comfortable on the road like Bluetooth and GPS. Plus I am reassured that service is just around the corner. I love to drive and the MarutiSuzuki  S-Cross is a treat behind the wheel. I have already driven to Agra in this car. And am looking forward to many more such drives.

I bought a Maruti Suzuki Baleno from the company’s new Nexa showroom that has been put up to showcase its premium cars . You are greeted with coffee by well-dressed sales people. The interiors of the showroom are nicely done up.

This is the third Maruti car that I have bought. I had a five-speed Maruti 800 and an Esteem before this. After spending time with the car, I can say that it was the correct decision. What most attracted me to the car is the way it looks. The Baleno’s design is best appreciated from the rear and side. It looks very dynamic from these angles. It is a premium car and packed with premium features like electrically foldable ORVMs, auto AC, a good music system with Bluetooth, anti-theft security system, etc. Plus, the interiors are beautiful. I love the design and the comfort of the cabin.

Though it looks premium, the build is sturdy and robust. Perfect to take on our roads. And yes, the fuel consumption doesn’t eat into my wallet. The Baleno has everything I want in my car.
