This guy had me when he told how he feels about the baleno's steering wheel. How much does Maruti pay him for the review anyway?
Jazz's back seat is more spacious .... dont be partial.
The funny thing about this review is that there is not a single word about safety features!
because he knew that if he talks about safety then baleno is the worst .....
Safety is not about sheet thickness.. It's all about platform where it's built
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Samuel Byron Instablaster :)
@Ace Xzavier thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Why only diesel why not do a review of petrol
Are you crazy?? leg room in jazz is more than that of baleno😑😑😑
No false
“Jazz’s cabin doesn’t have premium feel” WTF🤣🤣
Most premium cabin(jazz) compare to others
Most comments are directing hate on Baleno, calling it unsafe shit from maruti. What is your basis? Are you carrying out crash tests at your homes? Or is it because some other two ultra-cheap models from Maruti failed crash tests?
Ignorance + confidence is a dangerous combination
What was the average you got before your first service? I am getting pretty low for petrol engine.
Looks wise: The side view of Baleno is very awesome.... i20's back view is good.... But i personally feel Baleno has upper hand in the looks department
If i follow my Brain i may go for i20 but if I follow my heart then Polo is the only option.
Mine too
I have the polo gt n it is the best car . it has cruise control . power is out of the world. one can blindly buy it . safety is 4 star n cap rating.
+Zubair Modak 100% true..
If you are to follow your family they ll force you into Maruti car ; you lol be stuck with Maruti car like me :(
+Harish kumar Haha!! thats true
Okay before I finalized on i20 optional variant let me express some reasons which might help others in deciding which car to buy. If you are planning for a mid trim variant go for Baleno if its the top end I 20 with closed eyes. Reasons 1. Corning lights , 16 inch allow wheels that too diamond cut. 3. Rear ac vents. 4. Interior illumination adjuster. 5. Interiors r much better quality. 6. Overall build quality maruti doors feels way to light. 7. Auto retractable mirrors senses your presence due to the key and automatically opens up. Power definitely Baleno has an edge due to it's weight but again for some extra mileage don't compromise on life. Cheers !
Rishab Sachdeva great
Does the car vibrates when we go beyond 120? Cuz i have heard a lot of this please tell me honestly!
baleno has most space. LOL. Actually jazz is the most spacious among the three.
+Avinash T yes...that is what i felt when i had test drive of Baleno and Jazz
yup true....
+Avinash T he meant, wider
+Vineeth Govind I felt even width wise jazz is better. Seats of the jazz is far more comfortable than baleno and i20
+Avinash T True
Baleno is the Best looking car among these three.... seriously!!!! Someone PLS save this guy.
Just merely comparing engine power doesn't seem right. Baleno is 250 Kgs lighter than Jazz and 200 Kgs lighter than i20. Power to weight ratio is comparably same to that of Jazz or i20. And it has best in class FE.
totally right
+varma narasimha you seems to be riding honda activa and hate motor cycles for that matter.
exactly..this guy has no idea what he is talking..Baleno's stability and track time is much better than jazz and i20
for whioch car should i go for either grand i10 or baleno
Should i buy the new dzire or the baleno.. Please suggest
baleno is beautiful and no doubt performs smoothly
1.baleno dashboard is soft to touch.looks n feel are awesome.
2.jazz is just for practicality
3.hyundai.....waiting for i30 😁
i am fully confused what should i buy in these 3 cars ..give prefect adviose
I want to buy cruiser bike which is suitable for city riding I should go for Bajaj avengers 220 cruise or bullet Thunderbird 350
somebody give the rply
is there any probs while shifting to 5th gear direct from 3rd while running at 60 km/hr
I would appreciate a video comparing the petrol version and automatic versions of the same trio. this is because sales of automatic petrols and petrols in general are increasing.
Which one is best to buy
why don't you guys talk about the build quality
how safe will be the person inside the car. where are the ncap ratings of the baleno?
Who has the better sound system between I20 & Baleno...?
Incoming butthurt i20 owners;)
lawl
Rightly said bro ... I booked Baleno recently after test driving i20 and belive me ride quality wise i20 no where close to Baleno
waiting period ?
@@debdiproy good choice
what do u think about baleno accident .??
Is it 1.2 L diesel? in Baleno? are u sure?
Can you please compare Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Swift 2018
baleno doesnt even have chilled glovebox.
@raviykrishna
Yes and you're planning to update from your Dzire
Some of the information presented seemed wrong to me. You've said 1.2L Diesel, it's a 1.3L for Baleno, you've said 1.4L for Jazz whereas it's a 1.5L engine. There were minor errors which I think should be corrected.
Also, Baleno may have the lowest BHP but the HP to weight ratio is quite competitive and Torque to weight ratio is also quite competent. So, in no way does Baleno feels sluggish or slower compared to the other two.
My pick also would be Baleno due to its fresh look and lot of details given but I would have wished for i20's interiors that are far superior.
Boss i am just concern with the built quality i find it too flimsy i don't go with the showroom people high quality steel and all even the uk carbuyer people mentioned the thought too
hyundai elite i20 1.2 sportz or honda jazz 1.2 S I VTEC or Baleno 1.2 DELTA which car is best for me.
and in future I go CNG fuel, performance will be same or not. Please tell me
Ajay Samaria i20 sportz is best
which is better car polo all-star and i20, jazz
kerb weight of the i20 is shown as 1222 "mm" please try to correct it.
After seeing the comments in this post it seems during the period they have commented none of them have actually went to the showroom and saw the car upfront or drove it... Recently I booked the Baleno after 3 months of review from every possible sites and do a test drive of Baleno, Jazz, i20, Tiago, Ford Figo.. and here is my honest feedback... (petrol only as I am buying that and no idea about the deisel) .. I am not suggesting anyone to buy Baleno and not other cars as I respect individual preferences and my intension is only to provide my opinions as honestly as possible ######Pros ---(1.) Baleno is having a amazing ride quality which is far far superior than any of the rival. The power sterring is just perfect .. light in slow speed and gain weight during high speed (I drove it at exact 100kmph) and the worst is still the i20 as the steering is so light it actually gave me a sense of insecurity as soon as I cross 75 - 80 kmph.. Jazz is also very steady in high speeds but has body rolls .. Baleno is amazingly steady in high speeds even having a lighter body ... you dont believe me then drive it once to get the answer (2.) Baleno is the most spacious cabin (some one laughed at this point below so my suggestion look at the figures to educate yourself otherwise you will be a universal laughing material to anyone who understand cars)... in the back seat 3 people can play garba ... the boot space of Jazz is better and also the hump in Baleno is little higher so hard to load heavy luggages ...(3.) Baleno has all the safety features and passed the safety test with flying colours so who ever is talking about the build quality of baleno I suggest please check internet and educate yourself. The build quality is excellent and being a lighter car the doubt was there but it is proved that the quality is much superior than other maruti products ... (4.) In Baleno Zeta (Which I booked) is feature packed and you will have anything you desire for one word it is luxorious (missing projector headlamp and center touch pad - only availabel in alpha) (5.) Baleno Petrol is surprisingly peppy instead having a small 1.2 litter engine and 0 - 100kmph can be acheived in 10 - 11 secs (6.) As usual the best best best mileage in this segment and after service I should keep quite as everyone knows about it (7.) All black interior is awesome (though it is personal preference)and the center console is superbly cool ####### Cons --- (1.) The interior plastic is still that of swift it can be little better to fulfil the NEXA brand (may be the cost plays its part here) even the switches also same (2.) Under thigh support is little less in back seats can be covered with good seat covers (3.) No option to put leather covers or other luxury features from NEXA so one has to search nets for them but need to think about the warranty violation as well based on the product you are putting (4.) I hate the alloy design and planning to change them later once I save some money (after buying this) (5.) no rear AC vents but the AC is so powerful it can be neglected (6) The wait period is currently 30- 31 weeks which is not acceptable at all. Nexa dealer said the production has increased and they will try to provide me my car in 4 months ##### My wish ---Lot of space in the engine hood so maruti should think about a 1.4 or 1.6 litre petrol or deisel variant and it would be awesome
hello everyone... I bought New Honda Jazz V CVT variant.. After lots of research, comparison and test drive of Honda Jazz, Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20.. I bought this car.
reasons for buying this car:
1. Great mileage in this segment
2. Lots and lots of space in this segment(including boot space)
3. Great Power compare to i20 and baleno
4. Smooth and comfortable while driving
5. Look wise- no one can beat this car
6. Paddle Shift function in this car is awsome..
7. AC is damn good. no need for rear AC vents like in i20.
8. No one can beat IVTEC engine... Best Engine ever..
I don't care about keyless entry and rear AC vents.
and trust me... I already owned hyundai santro, suzuki baleno, HOnda CIty, and right now I am having Grandi10 Sportz... among all.. HOnda provided me the best services, best performance, after sales service etc etc...
Go for HONDA JAZZ. this is the best car in this segment..
ALL the BEST :)
I have booked Baleno delta variant in December...lot of people are complaining about Baleno's built quality, I am little confused now...Should I cancel my booking?
jerin jefin if you really care about your family's safety, of course yes.
which car is better for safety purposes baleno or jazz or i20 elite
i20
I was looking forward to a short comparison of the Petrol engines as well, which sadly haven't been included. Also, a crucial thing like ABS & Dual Airbags being standard in the Baleno, hasn't found mention in the review. Majority of the people don't buy the Top variants, which are usually the only ones with safety features (in case of i20 & Jazz). That way, the lower variants of both these cars are nowhere as safe as the Baleno! Just for reference, an NCAP survey gave the Polo & Swift (base models, without Airbags) 0 out of 5 stars, whereas the same cars were tested with Airbags a few months later and they got 4 out of 5 stars! The i20 that got 5 stars was the variant with 6 Airbags, ABS & ESP, which isn't available in India.
There are a few ignorant comments here that bother me though. A light weight car doesn't necessarily mean it isn't safe, it's how the car crumples under impact that matters. Crumple zones in the car are engineered to absorb the energy in case of an accident and isolate the passengers from any injuries. The old Ambassador or the old Fiat that didn't have crumple zones, would actually transfer the impact onto the passengers.
This energy is much greater than is commonly realized. A 2,000 kg car travelling at 60 km/h (37 mph) (16.7 m/s), before crashing into a thick concrete wall, is subject to the same impact force as a front-down drop from a height of 14.2 m (47 ft) crashing on to a solid concrete surface. Increasing that speed by 50% to 90 km/h (25 m/s) compares to a fall from 32 m (105 ft) - an increase of 125%.
So, if a car looks all crushed and disfigured, it could actually mean that the occupants are safe! On the other hand, the safety assessment of a car has to be done by a reputed agency, like NCAP, which has to rate it. The Baleno hasn't been rated as yet, though i expect it to get 4 out of 5 stars, considering it's chassis is 10% stiffer than Swift. Maruti needs to be complimented for offering Dual Airbags & ABS, even in the base variant and also offering it as an additional extra in all variants of Swift & Celerio recently.
Fun Fact: An F1 car weight around 640 Kgs and has an engine with a power of approximately 750bhp! It's the Aerodynamic designer who has the biggest responsibility of ensuring maximum down force with minimum drag.
Baleno looks absolutely brilliant
Which one is better for highway cruising?
For highway cruzing jazz or i20 is easily the best bevause of the extra 6th gear
very though full comparison, very good verdict . I agree with you !
What are you speaking about? 1.2 in Baleno and 1.4 in jazz?
pls compare SCROSS also
which is better
the data you are providing about engine displacements for Baleno and Jazz is wrong
you actually forgot to mention that Maruti Suzuki offers Front Dual Airbags even on the base variant.
#odmag... when we could reviews from end user perspective? I drive in Delhi and rarely gets a chance to drive in 5th gear for 5 minutes. Creature comforts, visibility and engine tractability with good fuel efficiency are the most important features. Please provide these inputs in your reviews!
which is the safety car baleno or i 20?
nandhini ravi i 20
jazz looks like a better car.
Please compare petrols as well. :)
There were so many contradicting statements in the review. The guy mentions that the Jazz is the best in terms of fuel efficiency but the table shows the Baleno having the highest fuel efficiency. What additional features does the Baleno have over the i20 has not been spoken about. No shot of the three cars rolling together to adjudge which looks better while moving. The reviewer doesn't talk about petrol engines. Looks like a hurried up effort with not a keen eye for detail.
+Aman Sancheti True that. Also, it's not comprehensive enough as far as the totality of engineering is concerned. For example, the Jazz has a smaller footprint than the other two cars, but Honda's packaging wizardry makes it significantly roomier than them (boot space included). Also, the i20 feels very floaty at high speeds, and the handling is nowhere near as secure as either of the two. Also, all these cars come with brilliant petrol engines, all of which are immensely popular too. They should've been compared, too.
Good thing that you didn't add polo in this toy cars list.Especially with the aluminum tin baleno
baleno has solid built quality ??? my god... do u guys get salary from maruthi ?? i cant believe. ..
+HARI KRISHNAN let us know what kind of build quality u r talking about,......
+AVINASH CHAUHAN im not saying that a car of this price range or any may stay strong in a head on collision with a truck, bt the body frame SHOULD NOT crumble like this.. not only in maruthi bt for any brand... weight reduction and mielage is good... but not at the cost of people's life..

I agree with u ....but what message u want to convey
Bert,your reviews are worsening day by day.I am really sad to see the sorry state of affairs at OD after Sirish left.
Baleno's interiors are better than the Jazz? You must be drunk!! The plastic used is baleno is cheap and feels like I'm sitting in a cheaper Maruti car.
AndroidApps dude plastic quality of jazz is also cheap...Hondas are degrading there plastic quality frm every car they r bringing in...No offence to your opinion bt its the truth...Check any car website and they hve almost same thing to say even abt the rest of honda cars..
AndroidApps baleno is cheap
AndroidApps quality wise
AndroidApps Maruti is known for its cheapness.. they don't give a F for safety, quality and power.. All they care about is fake cosmetic looks and MILAGE...
compare 2017 asif rs vs baleno rs
ok First thing. at 3.00 he mentions Baleno having 1.2 l diesel engine.. isn't it 1.3? and he says it had the smallest engine yes.. but how has the reviewer overlooked the fact that it is the car is the lightest which is a strong point? even super cars are checked for their power to weight ratio.
another conveniently overlooked fact is why did he snub the topic of fuel efficiency of baleno because of the tiny engine and reduced weight.
Just a thought!
thanks!
Jazz is a globally successful model, looks very stylish Inside too you shall come across huge space and sheer premium-ness too with safety features like dual airbags, ABS and EBD. Mileage is good enough, petrol engine is super refined and quite as a winter night so much so that you wont feel at all that the ignition is on. extremely enjoyable and a stable car to drive. I have JUZZ petrol, in city getting 16-18 KMPL, Thumps up to Jazz!
Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, England, USA every where you find this car.., Buy it you will never regret...!
Jazz is way more spacious than the Baleno, i20 or any other car in that segment. Its crazy to say that Baleno is more spacious.
Bhai baleno rs bha ha
great result guys!
but did you really said so many good things about the honda' s deisel engine ?..I mean really ??
and you guys forget to mention the baleno's safety features which are standard!!
you said that Baleno is bad but how it be winer
The clear winner in this segment should be chosen from New Ford Figo or VW POLO or Fiat Punto
Totally agreed with u....but performance and engine are not the only considerations for testing a car
After sales service
Maintainence cost
Availability of parts
Brand name are also some imp points
+abhishek arya If u live in a big city then after sales service is not a problem. Maintenance cost for Polo diesel and I20 Diesel is similar. My family owns both of them. For Fiat punto I could agree that Availability of parts could be a problem as PUnto is not exported from India nor Punto has a respectable sales numbers
+scorpionbeware +1 for new Ford Figo. That diesel engine is an absolute hoot to drive and the quickest of the lot. Even then it manages to give great mileage. Tired of Maruti's old wine in new bottle routine. I dont care what the sales figures are or how 'European' the hatch looks, it still has the weakest engine in this segment and totally not worth the premium Maruti is selling it at.
U can find Suzuki esteem , baleno old model , still in 2018 u can't find Hyundai old cars more than 10 yr old
Wasn't the anchor aware of the recent accident which showed the overall weakness body of Baleno?....
what about Renault Pulse?
PERSONALLY I feel it is beyond comparison to these three.
Did you actually Baleno has a solid build quality? This is such a biased review towards the Baleno. Dint expect this from OD.
This man is 100% sure he got money from maruti company. That's why supporting. Choices are not same sir.
jazz has more power and very smooth .. upload a vdeo of all 3 petrol cars
The funniest thing about this review is that there is no review of build quality and the safety features.. 😅 clearly jazz and elite i20 has better body strength than that of baleno
i20 is the best car.....
Wow and you guys are professionals? How can you do a comparison without discussing petrol options?
I know Overdrive is biased on Maruti Suzuki but, stating Baleno is Solid and declaring it the winner takes it to the Next Level!!!
Performance is not a priority not the selling point, well, Bert please step out and see something outside Maruti!!!
Best of all, A car with smaller engine, much lesser features, much lesser fun to drive is the winner!!!!
Well DONE BERT!!!
i love the i20 elite.. superb looking hatch but the other day i saw the ash baleno, and wow..its just better
I previously had a black micra
What i find is your review is very biased towards Baleno. I20 has got many more features than baleno. Baleno doesnt even have a cooled glove box. Baleno only has got a better exterior. But the interior is made of cheap plastics unlike jazz and i20. It doesnt even have a 6th gear making the cabin very noisy. You have given wrong information about cabin space, Jazz has most space.
Nice review...Baleno Best
Baleno really is a nice car but the waiting period is too long .I booked baleno alpha petrol on 23rd November and still haven't got delivery and the guy at nexa say it will take about 3-4 weeks more. Maruti really need to increase the production right now.They are loosing customers because of this waiting period.
Baleno looks fresh and solid whereas i20 looks outdated by now, nomatterwhat the facelift it has received. as for the jazz, looks like a buffed up maruti 800--just too japanese. i20 needs to reinvent itself thoroughly to give the baleno a run for its money. Baleno wins the competition hands down.
biased towads maruti. built quality solid in maruti? jazz interior is same as honda city and it does not feel Premium? space is most in baleno? he was blind while sitting in jazz.
If you are not considering style and look Tata bolt is best choice because its top end almost 2lakh cheeper then i20 and jazz.and giving almost all features.
I love baleno
s cross or jazz or balano
I would like to mention a big point which no one has pointed out. As Baleno is light weight, everything fitted is so light. The biggest disappointment for me are the bumpers. They are so fragile, even if you press it hard then also it will go inside. Its so light. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
Rajat Gupta same in the case of maruti ciaz , too light bumpers and even the metal sheet
I saw ur same comment in other videos too... :P
Right judgement , Baleno is the winner
where's the polo? -__-
no Figo :(
Where Is The Vw Polo ..
vw polo is missing
Jazz is much more spacious than baleno. Leg room in jazz is so impressive and even the head room is good. And you are saying baleno is the most spacious. Bro, stop giving wrong reviews!
honda jazz is the best car among three in every aspect...best and powerful 1.5 idtec engine, best feature and best mileage of 27.3 kmpl...the build quality is also good...
there are only 2 things going for Baleno, space and features, in all other departments it is a lull, if you say that the engine performance does not matter in this segment then sit 4 in the Baleno and see how much you have to work out with the gearbox in the urban traffic to keep pace with the other 2, I think i20 is still the winner in diesels here.
what should I buy guys
baleno
jazz
i20 elite
this review made me more confuse 🤔
Baleno or Jazz
i20 is not on par to them both... but Dont ask me about Baleno or Jazz... Thinking the same for a month now... Juz decide by test driving them both...
Zeta CVT or Manual?
Itz good... Go for it....
But I would go with Alpha Petrol...
Yeah I understand that... But what I say is we are not millionaires who buys a new car every year... If we buy once then itz going to be our only ride for next 5 yrz at least... We are investing 6.5l on zeta itz not that bad to spend 70k extra on our beloved car.... Just my opinion bro... Itz your call now....
Not a good review, so far from other channels... baleno is spacious and its good, that's needed in must for longer drive.
unbelievable the amount of hate going on in the comment section, anyway for the first time i liked the host in the video, looks civilized too compared to previous videos i have seen him in. looks like maruthi suzuki baleno is the winner. it better be built well inside out.... better be strong, solid.. sooner or later we will get to know that too... anyway i seem to like baleno alpha over i20 elite.. lets see how this goes..!
Baleno waiting period is 6 months.
What more pain is Dealers give no honest picture of this waiting period ... dont understand how many of the buyers wait for 6 months after booking to get it .. :)
three time they change my steering gearbox only 3000 km done no good belano no weight
