Tata Tiago vs Maruti Suzuki Baleno Comparison

The TATA Tiago is a great product for the price point. The only real improvement in the car and in the Tiago in general would be the addition of the touchscreen infotainment unit that does duty in the Tigor. Priced at Rs 5.35 lakh, ex-showroom, it makes sense for a wide range of customers who are looking for something that makes a great all round package. The Tiago is spacious, performs well and is built well to. It is most certainly a car we would recommend, especially if you are a first time car buyer or a first time automatic car buyer.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is still one of the most sensible premium hatchbacks in India. It does not attempt to be the sportiest, nor does it pursue every trend in the segment. Instead, it is about refinement, practicality, efficiency, and usable technology. 
As noted by Shams Raza Naqvi during his review,

“The Baleno is likely to have lost some of the smoothness of the old CVT, but it has gained wider appeal through improved affordability and additional features.”

If you are looking for a turbocharged thrill machine, then the i20 N Line is the better option. If there's no question whatsoever about crash test reputation, then the Altroz may have an edge. But if you are seeking a reliable, comfortable, and fuel-efficient premium hatchback that can suit everyday Indian driving conditions, then the Baleno continues to justify its popularity.
