Baleno in Chennai: questions buyers ask
Does Tamil Nadu charge extra if I buy the Baleno on a loan?
Yes, ₹800 to record the loan on the registration certificate, plus a ₹25 service charge. It is paid once at registration and is lower than the ₹1,500 most states charge.
Baleno or Dzire for a Chennai family?
The Dzire's 382-litre boot beats the Baleno's 318 litres, and it offers an electric sunroof. The Baleno answers with a longer wheelbase, ventilated seats, a head-up display and ADAS on its top variants. Both use the same 1.2-litre engine.
Why do most Chennai families skip the Baleno Sigma?
Because it has no touchscreen and no rear AC vents. The Baleno Delta adds both, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and four speakers, for ₹1.17 lakh more on-road. In Chennai's heat the rear vents alone make it the better family buy.
Is the Baleno Alpha (O)'s ADAS worth it on the Chennai Bangalore highway?
On a long highway run, yes. Adaptive cruise control holds a gap to the car ahead and emergency braking watches for slower vehicles. You pay ₹46,600 over the Baleno Alpha for the suite.
Is there a Baleno that pairs CNG with an automatic?
Yes. The Baleno Delta CNG AMT and Baleno Zeta CNG AMT use Maruti's AMT with the factory CNG kit. Torrent Gas sells CNG in Chennai at ₹99.50 a kg, about ₹8 below a litre of petrol.
