  • Baleno Kerb weight - Safe or not on Indian Roads

    Hi Team. I am new to this site. I am planning to purchase Maruti Baleno. It has a kerb weight of 875 kg. All are thanking for this as it increases performance. but will the vehicle shake if it crosses 120. Is it recommended? Pls advice techies ..

    We recently did a detailed test of the Baleno, ragschalla. Here's the link to that test: http://www.zigwheels.com/forum/topic...rprise-package
    Sure, the kerb weight is much lighter than even the Swift, but that is because they have shed weight in non-structural areas. We did take the Baleno up to three digit speeds (on a private road, where we conduct tests) and did not find it unstable. In fact, it feels quite sure footed at high speed. It does not feel light once it's at high speed. The only annoying bit was some tinny sound from the boot area each time we went over a bit of a rough patch, otherwise it feels quite planted. Ride quality in fact is decent in the Baleno, even marginally better than the i20.
    Drink coffee and drive!
