The Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha(O) is priced between Rs 9.50 lakh and Rs 9.99 lakh, while the Tata Altroz Accomplished+S sits higher.

TT Score
The Baleno earns its place as one of India's most rational premium hatchback purchases, anchored by a class-leading CNG efficiency figure and a variant ladder wide enough to suit most budgets.
Who it suits
- Urban CNG convert — At 33.61 km/kg on CNG, a buyer covering 1,500 km/month can slash monthly fuel costs to roughly ₹1,800–₹2,000 versus petrol, making the ₹7.92 lakh Delta CNG pay back its premium quickly.
- First-car buyer stepping up from entry h — The Sigma variant at ₹5.99 lakh ex-showroom gives an on-road entry of around ₹7.15 lakh in Mumbai — accessible for someone exiting the sub-₹6 lakh segment without stretching to a compact SUV.
- Small-family city driver wanting an auto — The Delta AMT at ₹7.50 lakh and Zeta AMT at ₹8.50 lakh bring clutch-free convenience to stop-go traffic without crossing ₹10 lakh on-road in most cities.
- Colour-conscious urban buyer — Seven colour options including Enigmatic Teal Green and Nexa Blue give this segment more visual variety than most rivals, which matters to buyers for whom kerb appeal drives the decision.

- · Six airbags are listed, but no crash-test rating data is present in the checked figures — safety-conscious buyers should seek BNCAP or Global NCAP results indep
