suvadeep24 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2016 Hello, I would like to buy a hatchback car. I have shortlisted two cars Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20. Both Petrol version coz running will be low. Please help me choose which one should I go for. Which is better in terms of performance, mileage, after sales service, resale value and quality. If you think I should go for any other car please help me choose the best premium hatchback car. Thanks Suvadeep Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachins 51 Report post Posted March 9, 2016 @Suvadeep, if looking for petrol car between i20 and Baleno, I would suggest Baleno. Performance of petrol Baleno is pretty good, it's more feature loaded variant to variant vis i20 and after sales of Maruti is second to none. Moreover, you get basic safety kit of 2 airbags and ABS standard across all variants of Baleno. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachins 51 Report post Posted March 9, 2016 Can't edit my earlier post, so just adding below info for performance comparison. i20 Max. Power (ps / rpm) 83 / 6,000 Max. Torque (kg·m / rpm) 11.7 / 4,000 Kerb Weight: 1066 kgs Baleno Max. Power (ps / rpm) 84 / 6,000 Max. Torque (kg·m / rpm) 11.7 / 4,000 Kerb Weight: 865-890 kgs Baleno being lighter, will feel more peppy to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted March 14, 2016 I think you should do a test drive of both and decide, it would be in your best interests to do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tejasmehta990 4 Report post Posted March 15, 2016 @suvadeep24 - Baleno has all right elements to be preferred choice over i20 elite but I feel you should also consider for CIAZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
