It gets some unexpected comforts as standard while missing out on some useful features

The prices for the Maruti Baleno have increased slightly with its updates but the entry-variant is still priced just below most rivals. It is better equipped than the base variants of most of the competition, but does it offer good value? We find out.

Variant	1.2-litre Petrol MT	1.2-litre Petrol AMT
Sigma	Rs 6.35 lakh	N.A.
Delta	Rs 7.19 lakh	Rs 7.69 lakh
Difference	Rs 84,000

Why consider the Baleno Sigma?

Maruti is offering the Baleno with climate control, keyless entry and a rear defogger as standard. It also gets a decent safety package with ISOFIX child seat anchorage. The Baleno Sigma offers a lot of comforts as an entry-level variant, making it worth considering on a tight budget.

Why skip the Baleno Sigma?

It may be better equipped than some entry-level rivals, but the Baleno Sigma does not offer enough conveniences to be an easy car to live with. For more useful features, like powered ORVMs and a factory-fitted infotainment system, you should consider the next variant of the Baleno.

Variant	Verdict
Sigma	Covers the basics but best for those on a strict budget.
Delta	Entry-level AMT, but the premium feels a bit steep.
Zeta	Offers best value and is our recommended choice.
Alpha	Only consider it for the premium, segment-first features.
