Asked by: Shital Kuwaron Dec 12, 2025
I’m planning to buy a car under ₹8 lakh with a focus on engine quality, mileage and safety. I’m confused between the Maruti Baleno and Fronx. Is the Fronx truly safer than the Baleno? Since the Fronx has a 4-star rating in Japan NCAP, can we assume similar build quality for the India model? Please guide.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is based on the Baleno, and mechanically and structurally, both are very similar.
Thus, both will be very similar when it comes to safety, too. As for the crash safety rating, yes, the Fronx has secured a 4-star rating in the Japan NCAP crash tests; however, the Baleno has secured a 5-star rating in the BNCAP tests.
So the Baleno is safe too, if not safer, you must bear in mind that there could be differences in the export model. As for the engines, both Fronx and Baleno use the same 1.2 liter naturally aspirated unit. However, the Fronx also comes with the choice of a more peppy and lively 1.0 liter turbo petrol engine

I am planning to buy the Tata Altroz Pure S AMT. Can you suggest the best alternative options from Hyundai or Honda within a ₹10 lakh budget? Which of these will offer the most ease and comfort for both long drives and city driving?
Your choice of the Tata Altroz is good, the car delivers a very good ride, is spacious and safe too. If you would like to check out an alternate, have a look at the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.
Like the Altroz, you will find that the Baleno too has ample interior space, has a good ride quality, and it's safe too, and of course, will also come in under your Rs 10 lakh budget.

I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the ₹10-12 lakh range.
Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.
If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.

I am 53 years old and 6 feet 2 inches tall. I have just learned to drive and am still not very confident. I want to buy my first car for a family of four. My budget is Rs 7 to 9 lakh. I will drive around 40 km per day in the city and around 1,400 km on the highway every three months. Please suggest which car would be good for me.
The Maruti Suzuki Swift or Baleno will suit you well. The Swift is easy to drive, efficient and spacious enough for four with good highway ability.
The Baleno offers more space, a larger boot and a smoother, more powerful four-cylinder 1.2-litre engine. In your budget, you can get the ZXi variant of the Swift, which has a slightly better feature set than the similarly priced Zeta variant of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.

Asked by: Sathishon Dec 1, 2025
I’m a new driver looking for a premium automatic hatchback within a ₹10 lakh budget. I’ve shortlisted the Baleno Zeta AGS, Tata Altroz Creative AMT, and Hyundai i20 Sportz iVT. Considering fuel efficiency, reliability, safety, comfort for long drives, and ease of driving as a beginner, which of these three is the best option?
The Maruti Baleno AGS is a proven, reliable hatchback, which will be the most fuel-efficient option from the bunch. It offers good space, comfort and is likely to deliver a trouble-free ownership experience.
Between the three, it is the best option for a new driver. You could also consider a Toyota Glanza, which is the badge-engineered Baleno, but comes with beige-black interiors.

Asked by: Abhishekon Nov 30, 2025
I am looking to buy my first car as I have just started driving. My main priorities are safety, mileage and comfort. The car will be used mostly in the city and on highways. My budget is around Rs 10 to 12 lakh.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno would be a good first car for you. It fits within the sub-4-meter mark, and that, along with its light controls, will make it easy to drive. The car is also spacious inside for all occupants and has a decently sized boot too.
The ride is good, and the car is stable at highway speeds, and as for safety, it comes well equipped with features like 6 standard airbags, electronic stability program, etc. This Maruti car has also secured a respectable 4-star rating in the BNCAP safety tests.

Asked by: Bharaton Nov 30, 2025
I am a first-time, amateur driver with a strict preference for an automatic transmission. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh on the road, but I can stretch to Rs 12 lakh if required. My usage will be very low initially, around 50 to 100 km per month. My priority is low and hassle-free maintenance with dependable showroom service. As a bonus, I would prefer models that offer a 360-degree camera or blind view monitor, as this would greatly help my confidence, though it is not a deal-breaker. Please suggest suitable models.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza will both suit your requirements well, depending on your brand preference, as they are essentially the same car beneath the cosmetic differences. They are easy to drive, come with a refined 1.2 litre four cylinder engine and a decent AMT automatic transmission. They are fuel efficient, spacious, comfortable for four adults and offer a large boot.
In your budget, you can get the top variants of both models, and they come with a 360-degree camera as standard. While the camera quality is not the best, it is clear enough to help you park in tight spaces.

Hello, Autocar. I currently drive an Alto K10, and I’m considering upgrading to a Baleno Alpha MT. Is this upgrade worthwhile? Or can you suggest any other good options within ₹10 lakh?
Yes, the Maruti Baleno will certainly feel like a big upgrade from your Maruti Alto K10 in every aspect - space, comfort, features and performance. Alternatively, you could also check out the Toyota Glanza, a badge-engineered Maruti Baleno, for its beige interiors, which feel a touch airier than the Maruti's.

I’m planning to buy a new automatic car with a budget of ₹8-9 lakh (maximum). I drive about 250–300 km per week, and I’m a first-time car buyer. Please suggest suitable options.
The Maruti Baleno Zeta AGS will be a good option to consider. This version will fit in your budget and has good fuel economy for an automatic. Your high usage, it also has comfy seats, a good ride and a decent feature list.
Adding to the convenience is Maruti's widespread network and low maintenance cost. It is easy to drive in the city, has a practical and spacious cabin and a comfy ride for long drives.

Asked by: Uzairon Nov 25, 2025
I have an offer for a 2024 Grand Vitara Sigma with 3,000 km for Rs 12 lakh. When compared to a new Baleno Delta or a new i20 base variant priced at around Rs 8.5 lakh, which should I buy? Finance is not an issue, and running and usage are also not a concern. Should I buy the used Grand Vitara or a new Baleno/i20? Kindly advise.
The on-road price of a brand new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.5L petrol MT Sigma in many cities is Rs 12.50-13.00 lakh. Simply going by these numbers, Rs 12 lakh for a used 2024 car isn't a good value at all. Sure, the Grand Vitara is a superior car to a Maruti Baleno, but you will need to bargain a lot harder for a better deal.
