- Thinking if moving from CVT to AMT was the right choice by Maruti Suzuki for the New Age Baleno? Watch our detailed drive review video where we spend some time behind the wheel of the Baleno Alpha AMT / AGS and share with you all that you need to know before bringing this premium hatchback home...
- Авто та транспорт
I bought Baleno Alpha AMT in March 2023 in Rs.12 lacs (including accessories, RTO charges, road tax, insurance). I have driven it 3000 kms so far. My monthly running is around 1000 kms (70% highway & 30% city). Here's what I found -
PROS -
1) Spacious cabin with ample legroom for rear occupants
2) Sufficient boot space with hydraulic tailgate
3) Auto dimming IRVM
4) Excellent headlights
5) Very silent refined engine
CONS -
1) I regret buying AMT because it gives mileage of 18 to 20 kmpl. I have checked tank to tank mileage many times. I drive with lightfoot and never cross 80 kmph speed. Still it is giving so less mileage as compared to manual version. One of my friend has Baleno manual version & it gives him mileage of 23 to 24 kmpl.
2) No youtuber will tell you this but the rear part of Baleno (near rear grab handles) is bulkier. So when I try to do reverse parking, it creates a blind spot in ORVMs and hampers judgement.
3) IRVM and infotainment screen are so close that it creates a big blind spot on windshield.
4) Manual car gives you confidence that you can control car even at high speeds. But that is not case with AMT.
5) Front seats have good lower back support but equally bad mid back support.
6) Auto start stop system is very irritating. Though Maruti claims that engine will stop 15 seconds after pressing the brakes, in reality engine stops after 3 seconds or 5 seconds.
Very nice and covers almost all aspects of what I was looking as a new buyer. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
superb review, superb commentary, while driving.. good job sir!
Most comprehensive review of Baleno AMT..
Thanks for watching
I love this car❣️
Pls also share the review how AGS will function on hills ? Will the drive be comfortable?
I've owned a Ciaz diesel Delta for 5 years. Want to change to amt. Visited the Nexa showroom but not booked as yet. Just one question, do the gears shift automatically on speed change and on start?
Thank you, the head nods is probably what I was looking at for the new ags transmission, you clarified it 😀.
Are appolo tyres decent for the car, or might want to change to something better ? Been driving hinda city cvt so hopefully I'll adjust to amt, fingers xed
From CVT to AMT, you will feel the difference. But you can live with it for sure. Tyres are reasonable, no need for immediate upgrade at all.
Can you explain about Parking option.
Really very point to point review of amt .I have booked glanza amt v variant . And this review helps me a lot before buying glanza. I am happy with my purchases
Thanks for watching!
Why what is the difference in Balaneo AMT vs Glanza AMT?
@@mohnraj same except logo and warranty period 😀😀 copy paste items
How has your experience been so far with glanza Amt?
@@yashbahuguna6349 instead of glanza I bought hyundai verna 2nd base model at the same price
By far the best review boss ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you think so!
How about Parking mode in this Baleno AGS, I don't see any like CVT gets "P" mode. What to do while parking on slopes. CVT has P mode and in MT we keep in 1st gear. So is missing parking mode in AGS a concern ?
Awesome and clear review by u my Friend .
Thanks for watching
If one drives normally in city traffic, at what rpm are the typical upshifts?
Can we have amaze Honda if we baleno in mind. Plz suggest
I booked the delta variant with AMT for my father who is 60 plus age. Is that a good choice?
How much milage i can expect with 4members in ags highway. What can be star rating?
Hello, i own creta 1.6 diesel auto (torque converter). Recently, Delhi has banned the bs 4 diesel car. So, my creta is off the road now.
I am planning to buy one petrol auto and considering the Baleno amt top of the line alpha with all the bell whistle. So, my question is the amt jerkiness will be felt as I am used to driving a torque converter with a diesel low end torque. Is Amt reliable in the long term as my running is a bit high (1.5 lac km done in creta in 6 yrs).
Very professional review and your language is superior..neatly explained MT and AMT features and the need n how to use it whenever required..think same principle in imt gear box offered in venue n Kia’s…one thing intriguing* about nitrogen use in tyres..is do you have technical explanation n do you recommend it ..booked alpha amt in Coimbatore n eta is 6 weeks..believe in north already many cars delivered..txs
Sir,Not even a single piece delivered in north. Had booked in February, much before it even launched.
@@yashzaz Atleast half a dozen videos in you tube with Haryana number plates..
@@yashzaz did you got your car
The best review . Keep up the good work bro.
Glad you liked it
Are ignis amt and baleno amt engine and gearbox same??
checked multiple reviews. This one is one of the best.
Thanks for watching, we're happy to help.
Hi Team, I have booked Alpha amt. My travel requirement is 90 % city with heavy traffic. Please advise if Amt is better than manual in this case. Also my driving is laid back mostly.

What's your opinion MT or AMT?
Bro when can we expect Ncap rating of Baleno 2022 ?
You cleared my doubts regarding AGS jerkiness in baleno. What about brezza 2022? Is it a Torque converter?
Yesss
IS THERE AGS ENGINE NOISE IN NEW BALENO? Comparing with TATA ALTROZ DCA
Nice video very walueble suggestions tqu
Thanks for watching
Please do review of glanza amt also
why dont u show center returning steering wheel
Baleno mt or amt which is best
Very nicely explained..Bro I would like to know which transmission you would suggest to a new buyer. Manual or automatic. Is AMT is good enough for a new owner who is going to buy a car for first time. Pls reply. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Yes, the AMT would work just fine for a new driver. In fact, it would be easier to live / learn with.
Thank you ..
Your English is very best...👍👍👍
Happy to help
Maruti is not delivering AGS, some issue. No dispatches in last one month. Nobody knows what is the issue for no dispatches.
Which one buy ?? Manual transmission or ags ??
Nice perfect review bro
Thanks for watching
Very professional review
Thanks for watching
Does the AMT gear change is it noticeable inside the cabin? Is it noticed both duing the city drive as well as highway drive? Or noticed only after certain speed?. Your reply is much helpful.
I took test drive of glanza amt... I could only feel the gear shifts in 1st and 2nd gears and sometimes in 3rd gear... 4th and 5th were smooth... also I could only feel it when I was looking for them... otherwise I couldn't notice them. My wife was also with me and she couldn't notice any shifts. So I booked glanza v amt. I think you should try the amt first then decide whether u like it or not.
@@NaPGameR did you got your car please reply
@@sureshs3s Nope they were taking a lot of time saying next month every time cancelled booking. Got vw virtus instead
@@NaPGameR with sedate driving at what rpms is the typical upshift?
Baleno base model or punch adventure which one is better
Baleno brother
AMT user mileage please?
The SA of Nexa in blore suggested me to take the leg off the pedal at the time of gear shift to avoid the headnod and it actually worked …. I didn’t get the headnod … so this trick kind of tilted me towards baleno alpha amt as I was totally against amt cars until then and also I am moving from baleno cvt …!
So have you booked your AMT ? Do share your experience of driving
@@blessedsoul8550 no…I cancelled the amt booking … I wasn’t quite satisfied with the driving experience …
@@Cbattep What did you book instead? Any reason you didn't like the AMT even with the idea to take the foot off the accelerator during shifting?
@@RobinRichardRajan I thought better to buy fully automatic than automated transmission … not booked anything yet and I am ready to wait for new brezza ..!
@@Cbattep did you booked new brezza?
What is your decision now
very good review my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent review. Pls suggest if AMT is good for highway driving like 500km drive in a day on highway.
Yes, shouldn’t be an issue at all.
AMT is very well tuned by Maruti It will only be problem when u expect performance from it AMT's are not designed for that compared to proper AT's hope this will solve ur problem
Sir Waiting Period for Baleno Alpha Model Amt 2022
Is it smooth when we drive it in a sedated manner? Do you feel the headnod when we drive it in a sedated manner?
i own Ignis. There is little headnod from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3. But after that you will not even notice gear shift when driving smoothly on highway.
@@sunilvarmadatla at what rpm does it upshift?
I am owner of bs6 Tiago amt . Want to shift to Baleno amt. Is it correct decision. Amt tiago low end toque is less and millage also 15 to 17 highway
Overall quality and refinement will surely be better. Mileage would be almost the same.
I booked zeta amg is this reight decission
Yes, why not! Happy motoring to you.
very nice
How the build quality of new Baleno
better than renault clio
Which one should I buy new Balano AGS or Altroz DCA ??????
For long term reliability, we know that the AGS from Maruti Suzuki will offer peace of mind
very good presentation
Glad you liked it
Sir , do you think that Baleno is not suitable for High ways ?
it is suitable for Highways.
Zeta Mt kaw dekhau

Which automatic is best between i20 or Baleno 2022? Because I'm planning to buying it... Please reply
Start Stop feature might damage engine.
Whether it is a Maruti car or any car, the question that everyone asks is how many safety rating stars does this car get? This is it.
How is the sound of the car engine?
How is the power capacity of the car?
To convey all this, respected this UA-cam guy is driving this car fast and hard.
But all our Indian motorists, including me, drive at a moderate speed to ensure complete safety for the car and its occupants.
Who drives the vehicle respecting the lives of all the people on the road?
He and his car are worth a thousand crore safety rating stars.
In 2010 my father's younger brother's son died in a bike accident.
The accident reason is because of riding the bike at over high speed. He lost his control and hit an electric pole and he died on the spot😔
So my dear brothers🙏 and sisters🙏
Speed is thrills but that speed is buried our life😔
If you ride a bike please wear helmet avoid use cellphones while ride a bike and maintain limited constant speed.
If you drive a car please wear seatbelt not only a driver all cabin passengers too. Avoid use cellphones while drive a car. And Please maintained limied speed🙏
If my comments hurt anyones heart please forgive me🙏
Drive safe and drive responsibility🙏
And enjoy your drive❤
Biggest point which makes me go to other brand is ncap rating and build quality.
If Maruti give high quality safety cars sales will be double
5* rated car this time
If they make 4* 5* cars, then sales of other manufacturers will decrease drastically
Maruti should learn this k when other companies r stepping up the automatic gear box with cvt, torque converter, dct it makes no point for them to offer automatic at 13lakh price point. Haan they could given us the to choose automatic option along with cvt or launched it lower variants. Plus we don't have the option of turbo variants. Cmon even magnite is offering the turbo with cvt. Even altoz is offering dca with their altroz. 🙄😒. Pls dont cost cut on amt options. In this modern era automatic technology is a necessity in start and stop traffic and customers would prefer superior hassle free drivability when other companies r doing it u should be the pioneer in bringing new technologies to India if u don't do it then customers wl switch to other brands and it will hit ur brand value that uve been making over the years . Pls focus on driving dynamics, engine options, automatic technology and safety features.
Forget the features… built quality remains the same
I think now it get better. Weight gains by 60 kg.
Baleno is safer than previous model.
Grade of material especially metal sheet quality improved(body quality),glass thickness improved,overall weight increased(70kg while comparing same trims of old and new),body shell quality improved(old baleno body shell costs around 1.7 lacs in showroom while new body shell costs around 2.5 lacs,
gets 6airbags from Zeta variant onwards,
Brakes size increased to 14 inch.
Let's wait for proper crash test for correct review.
Good car for city ride but looking at the price my suggestion is to opt for Tata Nexon XMA Plus with Sunroof. No head nods at least u can’t notice. 118 BHP and far ahead from Baleno.
Nexon is 3 cylinder right
No nonsense review
